The practical goals of inpatient forensic mental health services in Sweden – A qualitative comparative analysis of met and unmet rehabilitative needs in the transition to outpatient care
Forensic mental health services (FMHS) seek to alleviate mental illness and reduce the risk of (violent) recidivism, but they may also be understood to be responsible for supporting patients with many other aspects of their often challenging lives. In practice, the task of an inpatient institution such as FMHS is concluded when the patient can transition to outpatient care, a move which is governed by law. Therefore, the practical goals are at le…
Atmospheric circulation regimes for prescribed burns along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast
The regional-to-synoptic-scale steering atmospheric circulation is important for advecting energy, mass, and momentum across space, with the near-surface wind being the local manifestation of this circulation. The local winds can affect phenomena of economic, ecological, and/or aesthetic values, such as bird migrations and prescribed burns to restore bird habitats. The purpose of this research is to classify the days from 1979 to 2018 based on ci…
Affordability of the Health Expenditures of Insured Americans Before the Affordable Care Act
Central to the Affordable Care Act is the notion of affordability and the role of health insurance in making otherwise unaffordable health care affordable. We used data from the 1996 to 2008 versions of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey to estimate the portion of overall health care expenditures by insured respondents that would otherwise have been beyond their disposable incomes and assets. We found that about one third of insured expenditure…

The Effect of Consumer Incentives on Medicaid Beneficiaries' Compliance with Well-Child Visit Guidelines
The Affordable Care Act of 2010 recommends that consumer incentives be employed to increase the use of preventive care by Medicaid beneficiaries, but few evaluative studies exist. This study evaluates a Target gift card incentive employed by a Minnesota health plan serving Medicaid beneficiaries over the period 2002-2003. Lacking a contemporaneous control group, the proximity between the child's residence and the nearest Target store was used as …
The Effectiveness of a Health Promotion Program After 3 Years
BACKGROUND: Health promotion programs for the workplace are often sold to employers with the promise that they will pay for themselves with lowered health care expenditures and reduced absenteeism. In a recent review of the literature, it was noted that analysts often caution not to expect a positive return on investment until the third year of operation. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates whether a positive return on investment was generated in …
What Factors Influence Participation in an Exercise-Focused, Employer-Based Wellness Program
Following the recent introduction of an incentive-based, exercise-focused wellness program at a large public university, this paper investigates the factors that influence employees' behavior with respect to participation and regular exercise. Results suggest that an employee's probability of signing up for the program is related to her exercise behavior prior to the program's inception, the time cost of exercise, taste for fitness center exercis…
Quality-of-Life Weights for the US Population
BACKGROUND: Many of the large ongoing national surveys of the US population contain a question that asks for the respondent's self-reported health status: "excellent," "very good," "good," "fair," or "poor." These surveys could be used to conduct cost-utility analyses of health care policies, treatments or other interventions if quality-of-life (QOL) weights for the self-reported health statuses were also available. OBJECTIVE: The objective of th…
The Substitutability of Adult Foster Care for Nursing Home Care in Oregon
OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the degree of substitutability of adult foster care for nursing home care in Oregon. METHODS: Using three tests, the authors determined (1) the extent to which an additional adult foster care resident in a county reduces the number of nursing home residents in that county, (2) which characteristics of residents and facilities are important in sorting residents into either nursing homes or adult foster care faci…
The Effect of Certificate of Need and Moratoria Policy on Change in Nursing Home Beds in the United States
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effects of state certificate of need and/or moratorium requirements on the change in nursing home bed growth in states over a 13-year period. METHODS: Data were collected from five telephone surveys of state officials about state certificate of need and moratorium policies, state Medicaid nursing home reimbursement rates, and the licensed nursing home beds in each state for the 1979 through 1993 period. Two-sta…
Does Publishing the Parameters that Trigger Review of Medicare Claims Change Provider Behavior
In April 1989, the Health Care Financing Administration stopped publishing the parameters that trigger review of Medicare claims because they thought that knowledge of the parameters would permit providers to schedule visits to avoid review. In this article, the authors report the results of an experimental study where previously unrevealed parameters were revealed to some providers of Medicare services and not to others. The authors find little …
Testing for Excess Demand in Nursing Home Care Markets
A three-part test for the presence of excess demand is replicated on data from three states in 1988: Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Oregon. No evidence of excess demand was found in Wisconsin and Oregon, and evidence in Minnesota was inconclusive. Limitations of the tests and refinements of the interpretation are discussed

Adult foster care for the elderly in Oregon
BACKGROUND. In Oregon, adult foster care (AFC) homes, which are private residences where a live-in manager cares for one to five disabled residents, have been covered by Medicaid since 1981 and seem to offer a mainstream alternative to nursing homes. They house almost 6000 older people, two thirds of which pay privately. METHODS. In a cross-sectional study, we interviewed 400 AFC and 400 nursing home residents. Data analyses included descriptive …

Profit Incentives and Technical Efficiency in the Production of Nursing Home Care
In recent years, nursing home care expenditures have approached one percent of GNP. Their growth is a major contributor to the escalating costs of health care. In this article, the authors analyze a sample of nursing homes from Wisconsin to determine the characteristics of the efficiently operated nursing homes. Data envelopment analysis is used to calculate efficiency scores for the various nursing homes in the sample. The authors then use regre…
The Ratio of Impaired Elderly in the Community to Those in Nursing Homes in Two Rural Iowa Counties
The Iowa 65+ Rural Health Study gathered health status information on all elderly persons living in two rural Iowa counties. In this report these data are used to determine the ratio of persons with activities of daily living (ADL) dependencies living in the community to those in institutions. Results indicated that the "community/institutional dependency ratio" is about 1 to 1 for these counties, which is about half the ratio representing conven…
Improving the Quality of Nursing Home Outcomes
Recent debates over health policy have tended to be between procompetitive solutions and proregulatory ones. This dichotomy, however, seems to be less descriptive of the policy debate over ways to improve nursing home quality. This article argues that a more useful distinction may be between adequacy- and incentive-oriented policies. The nursing home industry and others have argued that the financial and physical resources at the disposal of nurs…
