Reducing Inpatient Hospital and Emergency Room Utilization Among Nursing Home Residents
Objective: To examine the association among nursing home residents between strength of relationship with a primary care provider (PCP) and inpatient hospital and emergency room (ER) utilization. Method: Medicare administrative data for beneficiaries residing in a nursing home between July 2007 and June 2009 were used in multivariate analyses controlling for beneficiary, nursing home, and market characteristics to assess the association between tw…
Primary Care and Specialty Providers
BACKGROUND: Little is known as to whether medical home principles, such as continuity of care (COC), would have the same effect on health service use for individuals whose primary (or predominant) provider is a specialist instead of a primary care provider (PCP). OBJECTIVE: To test associations between health service use and expenditures and (1) beneficiaries' predominant provider type (PCP or specialist) and (2) COC among beneficiaries who prima…
Evaluating the Performance of Medicare Fee-For-Service Providers Using the Health Outcomes Survey
BACKGROUND: Health status measures are now being used for evaluating the performance of health care organizations. Trends in SF-36 component scores have previously been examined for Medicare-managed care plans but not for providers serving Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries. We compared 2 methods for evaluating the performance of Medicare FFS providers, the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) and Health Assessment Laboratory (HAL) methods…
Race/Ethnic Disparities in Utilization of Lifesaving Technologies by Medicare Ischemic Heart Disease Beneficiaries
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explain race/ethnic disparities in hospitalizations, utilization of high-technology diagnostic and revascularization services, and mortality of elderly ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients. DESIGN: A longitudinal Medicare claims database of all Part A hospital and Part B physician services provided elderly patients admitted for IHD in 1997 is used to construct admission, utilization, and mortality ra…
Snowshoe & Lancet
Organized sequentially around journal entries, these memoirs focus mainly on the author's medical exploits. He first went to Notre Dame Bay Memorial Hospital in Twillingate, Newfoundland, in 1934, to spend the summer after his third year of medical school at Johns Hopkins. He was lured by the prospect of gaining more clinical training and finding a way to escape the stifling heat of Baltimore. [End Page 175] The Hopkins connection at this hospita…
Economic Analysis in Randomized Control Trials
In medical technology assessment, randomized control trials (RCTs) play an important role in determining the relative efficacy of compared treatments. As scarce resources necessitate choosing among options for care, comparing costs of alternative tests, treatments, or programs also becomes important. This study assessed the prevalence and completeness of economic analyses in RCTs published from January 1966 through June 1988. It was found that on…
