The Limited English Proficient Population: Describing Medicare, Medicaid, and Dual Beneficiaries
Purpose: The Limited English Proficient (LEP) population experiences well-documented suboptimal health outcomes and substandard provider experiences. The lack of national estimates on the size of the LEP population relative to the healthcare setting makes examining health outcomes for this population very difficult. This analysis addresses this limitation by publishing population estimates for LEP persons enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, and Duals…
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Satisfaction with Care Coordination Among VA and non-VA Medicare Beneficiaries
Purpose:Patients who have multiple sources of care are at risk for fragmented and uncoordinated care, which can lead to poorer outcomes. Veteran Medicare beneficiaries who use the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system (VA users), particularly racial/ethnic minorities, often have complex medical conditions that may require care from multiple sources, leaving them especially vulnerable to the effects of fragmented care. We examined racial/eth…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Medicare Beneficiaries’ Care Coordination Experiences
BACKGROUND: Little is known about racial/ethnic differences in the experience of care coordination. To the extent that they exist, such differences may exacerbate health disparities given the higher prevalence of some chronic conditions among minorities. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the extent to which racial/ethnic disparities exist in the receipt of coordinated care by Medicare beneficiaries. SUBJECTS: A total of 260,974 beneficiaries who responde…
Association of Health Plans' Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (Hedis) Performance With Outcomes of Enrollees With Diabetes
BACKGROUND: Few quality of care evaluations examine the relationship between clinical processes and patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between health plan performance on Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) clinical processes and intermediate outcome measures and Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) self-reported physical and mental health scores among Medicare plan enrollees with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Sec…
Risk-Adjusted Mortality as an Indicator of Outcomes: Comparison of the Medicare Advantage Program With the Veterans’ Health Administration
BACKGROUND: The Medicare Advantage Program (MAP) and the Veterans' Health Administration (VHA) currently provide many services that benefit the elderly, and a comparative study of their risk-adjusted mortality rates has the potential to provide important information regarding these 2 systems of care. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this retrospective study was to compare mortality rates between the MAP and the VHA after controlling for case-mix diffe…
