Challenges and Opportunities in Implementing a Multicomponent Dementia Caregiver Program in a Complex Healthcare System
The Tailored Activity Program (TAP), an intervention for people living with dementia (PLWD) and their caregivers, has been shown to reduce behavioral symptoms for PLWD and caregiver burden. While TAP is proven as an evidence-based practice (EBP), it has yet to be implemented at scale. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has prioritized the Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) initiative, providing an opportunity to test implementation of TAP in …
Resounding Relations
Habit has primarily been considered along seemingly divergent trajectories, either as a mechanism that limits creativity or as a transition of imagination into embodied activity (Elizabeth Grosz (2013) ‘Habit today: Ravaisson, Bergson, Deleuze and us’, Body & Society 19(2&3): 217–39). An interplay of these two aspects is clearly seen in music improvisation, in which performances unfold through well-honed patterns of technique and processes of lis…
Screening, Monitoring, and Referral to Treatment for Young Adolescents at an Urban School‐Based Health Center
BACKGROUND: This study describes the experience of implementing a screening, monitoring, and referral to treatment (SMARTT) initiative at an urban middle school school-based health center. METHODS: Retrospective data were collected for adolescents screened with the Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17-Y. At-risk adolescents having unmet health needs were offered a mental health referral, and those that declined a mental health referral were offered a p…
Telehealth Benefits Offered by Medicare Advantage Plans in 2020
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to analyze new telehealth benefits offered by Medicare Advantage (MA) plans in 2020 and examine plan characteristics associated with the provision of the new telehealth benefits. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using publicly available data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, we identified unique MA plans with at least 1 enrollee in January 2020. We examined whether plans offered any new telehealth ben…
Variability in Transitional Care Outcomes Across Hospitals Discharging Veterans to Skilled Nursing Facilities
BACKGROUND: The period after transition from hospital to skilled nursing facility (SNF) is high-risk, but variability in outcomes related to transitions across hospitals is not well-known. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate variability in transitional care outcomes across Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and non-VHA hospitals for Veterans, and identify characteristics of high-performing and low-performing hospitals. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective observati…
Influence of Nonindex Hospital Readmission on Length of Stay and Mortality
IMPORTANCE: Hospitals and health care systems face increasing accountability for postdischarge outcomes of patients, but it is unclear how frequently hospital readmissions in particular occur at a different hospital than the index hospitalization and whether this is associated with worse outcomes. OBJECTIVE: Describe the prevalence of nonindex 30-day readmissions in a nationally representative sample of all payers and associations with outcomes. …
The Hospital Score Predicts Potentially Preventable 30-Day Readmissions in Conditions Targeted by the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: New tools to accurately identify potentially preventable 30-day readmissions are needed. The HOSPITAL score has been internationally validated for medical inpatients, but its performance in select conditions targeted by the Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP) is unknown. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Six geographically diverse medical centers. PARTICIPANTS/EXPOSURES: All consecutive adult medical pa…
Patient and Hospitalization Characteristics Associated With Increased Postacute Care Facility Discharges From US Hospitals
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The number of patients discharged to postacute care (PAC) facilities after hospitalization increased by 50% nationally between 1996 and 2010. We sought to describe payors and patients most affected by this trend and to identify diagnoses for which PAC facility care may be substituting for continued hospital care. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of the National Hospital Discharge Survey from 1996 to 2010. SETTING: Adult disch…
Counter-Terrorism for Emergency Responders
Terrorism is no longer something that only happens to other countries. Attacks on US soil in the 1990's brought the reality of terrorism home and the Sept 11th tragedy let us know that the United States is a high priority target. The goal of today's terrorist is body count, and while traditional bombings have served them in the past, th
Refining a Case-Mix Measure for Nursing Homes
A case-mix classification system for nursing home residents is developed, based on a sample of 7,658 residents in seven states. Data included a broad assessment of resident characteristics, corresponding to items of the Minimum Data Set, and detailed measurement of nursing staff care time over a 24-hour period and therapy staff time over a 1-week period. The Resource Utilization Groups, Version III (RUG-III) system, with 44 distinct groups, achie…
Mental Dysfunction and Resource Use in Nursing Homes
The role of dementia and other mental disorders in nursing home case-mix classification systems has been an area of controversy. The role of mental dysfunctions was considered in developing a new case-mix measurement system for facility payment in a national demonstration to understand staff time use in nursing homes. Nursing staff (nurses and aides) time and resident assessment data were collected for 6,663 nursing home residents in 6 states. Me…
Impact of the New York Long-Term Home Health Care Program
The Long-Term Home Health Care Program (LTHHCP), also known as the Nursing Homes Without Walls, is an innovative, comprehensive Medicaid program in New York State that provides nursing home level of care to patients at home. This paper evaluates the performance of the first nine LTHHCP sites over the first 2 years of operation. Across all sites there is clear evidence that the program has been extremely successful in reducing levels of nursing ho…
