Variations in Psychiatric Emergency Department Boarding for Medicaid-Enrolled Youths
This cohort study describes US state-level variations in boarding prevalence among Medicaid-enrolled youths with emergency department visits for mental health conditions in 2022
Medicaid Policy Change and Immediate Postpartum Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
In this cohort study, changing Medicaid billing policy to allow for separate reimbursement of LARC devices from the global fee was associated with increased use of IPP LARC, suggesting that this may be a strategy to improve access to the full range of postpartum contraceptive methods
Twelve-Month Contraceptive Supply Policies and Medicaid Contraceptive Dispensing
In this cohort study of Medicaid recipients using short-acting hormonal contraception, the passage of a 12-month contraceptive supply policy was associated with a minimal increase in the proportion of contraception dispensed through a 12-month or longer supply
Hospital Characteristics Associated With Heterogeneity in Institutional Postacute Care Spending Reductions Under the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model
In this cross-sectional study of 1189 hospitals, findings did not show strong evidence for significant heterogeneity in how the CJR model was associated with reductions in institutional postacute care spending across a range of hospital characteristics. Savings were not concentrated in hospitals with specific characteristics, such as hospitals with high-volume joint replacement or hospitals serving less medically or socially complex patients. Fin…
Accuracy of Hospital Discharge Codes in Medicare Claims for Knee and Hip Replacement Patients
BACKGROUND: Despite the importance of the hospital discharge destination field ("discharge code" hereafter) for research and payment reform, its accuracy is not well established. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the accuracy of discharge codes in Medicare claims. DATA SOURCES: 2012-2015 Medicare claims of knee and hip replacement patients. RESEARCH DESIGN: We identified patients' discharge location in claims and compared it with t…
Disparities in Alcohol, Drug Use, and Mental Health Condition Prevalence and Access to Care in Rural, Isolated, and Reservation Areas
PURPOSE: Research on urban/rural disparities in alcohol, drug use, and mental health (ADM) conditions is inconsistent. This study describes ADM condition prevalence and access to care across diverse geographies in a predominantly rural state. METHODS: Multimodal cross-sectional survey in South Dakota from November 2013 to October 2014, with oversampling in rural areas and American Indian reservations. Measures assessed demographic characteristics…
Patient satisfaction with a hospital’s arts-enhanced environment as a predictor of the likelihood of recommending the hospital
Background: A multi-component arts initiative was instituted at a non-metropolitan, five-hospital healthcare system. This study examined whether patients’ satisfaction with the hospital arts-enhanced environment was associated with their likelihood to recommend the hospital.Methods: A survey was mailed to a random sample of patients who had been discharged from the five hospitals between 2010 and 2012. Survey items included standard HCAHPS and ot…
