Association of Advance Care Planning Visits With Intensity of Health Care for Medicare Beneficiaries With Serious Illness at the End of Life
In this cohort study of US Medicare beneficiaries, billed ACP services during the EOL course of patients with serious illness were relatively uncommon, but if they occurred before the last month of life, they were associated with less intensive use of EOL services. Further research on the variables affecting hospice use and expenditures in the EOL period and the differential effect of late ACP is recommended to understand the relative role of ACP…
Geographic Variation of Statin Use Among US Nursing Home Residents With Life-limiting Illness
BACKGROUND: Medically compromised nursing home residents continue to be prescribed statins, despite questionable benefits. OBJECTIVE: To describe regional variation in statin use among residents with life-limiting illness. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional study using 2016 Minimum Data Set 3.0 assessments linked to Medicare administrative data and health service utilization area resource files. SETTING: Nursing homes (n=14,147) within hospital ref…
The Role of Limited English Proficiency and Access to Health Insurance and Health Care in the Affordable Care Act Era
Purpose: Limited English proficiency adversely impacts people's ability to access health services. This study examines the association between English language proficiency and insurance access and use of a usual care provider after the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Methods: Using cross-sectional data from the 2016 Medical Panel Expenditures Survey, we identified 24,099 adults (weighted n=240,035,048) and categorized them by sel…
Variation in Hospice Patient and Admission Characteristics by Referral Location
BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding differences between patients referred to hospice from different care locations. OBJECTIVE: The objective this study was to describe the associations between hospice referral locations and hospice patient and admission characteristics. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of hospice administrative data. SUBJECTS: Adult (age older than 18 y) decedents of a national, for-profit, hospice chain across 19 US s…
Geographic Variation in the Initiation of Commonly Used Opioids and Dosage Strength in United States Nursing Homes
OBJECTIVES: To examine and quantify geographic variation in the initiation of commonly used opioids and prescribed dosage strength among older US nursing home residents. METHODS: We merged 2011 Minimum Data Set 3.0 to Medicare claims and facility characteristics data to conduct a cross-sectional study among long-stay nursing home residents who initiated short-acting opioids commonly used in nursing homes (oxycodone, hydrocodone, or tramadol). We …
Moving the Advance Care Planning Needle With Community Health Workers
This issue of Medical Care presents a study by Litzelman et al,1“Impact of community health workers on elderly patients’ advance care planning and health care utilization:moving the dial,” that reports the results of an innovative model at the Indiana University Center for Aging Research’s Aging Brain Care (ABC) Program in which community health workers (CHWs) are trained to initiate and conduct advance care planning (ACP) conversations with elde…
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status Predicts Health After Hospitalization for Acute Coronary Syndromes
OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of contextual factors on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), which is sometimes used as an indicator of quality of care, we examined the association of neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) and trajectories of HRQoL after hospitalization for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHODS: We studied 1481 patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes in Massachusetts and Georgia querying HRQoL via the ment…
Measuring Harm in Health Care
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify modifiable factors that improve the reliability of ratings of severity of health care-associated harm in clinical practice improvement and research. METHODS: A diverse group of clinicians rated 8 types of adverse events: blood product, device or medical/surgical supply, fall, health care-associated infection, medication, perinatal, pressure ulcer, surgery. We used a generalizability theory fr…
Antipsychotic Use in Nursing Homes Varies by Psychiatric Consultant
BACKGROUND: The relationship between psychiatric consultation and antipsychotic prescribing in nursing homes (NH) is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To identify the association between psychiatric consultant groups and NH-level antipsychotic prescribing after adjustment for resident case-mix and facility characteristics. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Nested cross-sectional study of 60 NHs in a cluster randomized trial. We linked facility leadership surveys t…
Medicare Part D and Changes in Prescription Drug Use and Cost Burden
CONTEXT: The full effect of Medicare Part D, after the initial policy transition period and across the United States Medicare population, remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To estimate nationally representative changes in prescription drug use and out-of-pocket drug costs 2 years after implementation of Part D. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We examined study outcomes over 8 years (2000 to 2007) and estimated changes after Part D, accounting for ear…
