  • End-of-Life Care and Health Care Spending for Medicare Beneficiaries With Dementia in Accountable Care Organizations

    Open AccessJessica Zhang, Jessica J Zhang et al.ARTICLEJAMA Health Forum2025

    Using nationally representative data on beneficiaries with dementia at EOL, this quasi-experimental study found no evidence that EOL care processes, outcomes, or spending changed with ACO entry for Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries vs non-ACO beneficiaries. Alternative payment models to ACOs may be needed to coordinate high-quality care with lower spending for beneficiaries with dementia at the EOL

  • Is Patient-Perceived Severity of a Geriatric Condition Related to Better Quality of Care

    Lillian C Min, Lillian Min et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2011Referências: 46

    BACKGROUND: Care for falls and urinary incontinence (UI) among older patients is inadequate. One possible explanation is that physicians provide less recommended care to patients who are not as concerned about their falls and UI. OBJECTIVE: To test whether patient-reported severity for 2 geriatric conditions, falls, and UI, is associated with quality of care. RESEARCH DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of elders with falls and/or fear of falling (n…

  • Association of Claims-based Quality of Care Measures With Outcomes Among Community-dwelling Vulnerable Elders

    David S Zingmond, Susan L Ettner et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2011

    BACKGROUND: Few studies examine the link between measured process of care and outcome. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship of claims-based assessment of process of care to subsequent function and survival. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using claims from 1999 to assess performance on 41 quality indicators (QIs) from the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) measurement set on functional decline and death in 2000. SETTING: C…

    David S Zingmond, Debra Saliba et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2009Referências: 20

    OBJECTIVES: To adapt the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders project nursing home (NH) specific quality indicators (QIs), for use with routinely collected data, and to evaluate which clinical conditions and types of care were inadequately measured using these data sources. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Nursing homes. PARTICIPANTS: NH residents 66 years of age and older dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid in 19 California count…

  • Multimorbidity is Associated With Better Quality of Care Among Vulnerable Elders

    Lillian C Min, Lillian Min et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referências: 48

    BACKGROUND: Older patients with multiple chronic conditions may be at higher risk of receiving poorer overall quality of care compared with those with single or no chronic conditions. Possible reasons include competing guidelines for individual conditions, burden of numerous recommendations, and difficulty implementing treatments for multiple conditions. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether coexisting combinations of 8 common chronic condit…

  • The Effect of a Quality Improvement Initiative on the Quality of Other Aspects of Health Care

    David A Ganz, Neil Wenger et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referências: 20

    PROBLEM: Policymakers and clinicians are concerned that initiatives to improve the quality of care for some conditions may have unintended negative consequences for quality in other conditions. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether a practice redesign intervention that improved care for falls, incontinence, and cognitive impairment by an absolute 15% change also affected quality of care for masked conditions (conditions not targeted by the in…

  • Measuring the Quality of Care Provided to Community Dwelling Vulnerable Elders Dually Enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid

    David S Zingmond, Kathleen H Wilber et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referências: 22

    CONTEXT: Small studies suggest that the quality of healthcare provided to older patients needs improvement. However, measuring the quality of care for larger groups of older adults is difficult. OBJECTIVE: To measure the quality of care in a community-dwelling vulnerable geriatric population using administrative data to apply quality indicators (QIs) from the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders project. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Cohort s…

  • Comparison of Administrative Data and Medical Records to Measure the Quality of Medical Care Provided to Vulnerable Older Patients

    Catherine H MacLean, Rachel Louie et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006Referências: 21

    BACKGROUND: Administrative data are used to determine performance for publicly reported in health plan "report cards," accreditation status, and reimbursement. However, it is unclear how performance based on administrative data and medical records compare. METHODS: We compared applicability, eligibility, and performance on 182 measures of health care quality using medical records and administrative data during a 13-month period for a random sampl…

    Open AccessHonghu Liu, Carol E Golin et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Internal Medicine2001

    BACKGROUND: Poor adherence to HIV protease inhibitors may compromise the effectiveness of treatment. Few studies have compared methods for measuring adherence or have related adherence measures to a clinical outcome. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship among a composite score of adherence, the three primary measures of adherence, and HIV virologic response. DESIGN: Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING: Public HIV clinic. PATIENTS: 108 HIV-infect…

  • The Care of HIV-Infected Adults in the United States

    Samuel A Bozzette, Sandra H Berry et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine1998

    BACKGROUND AND METHODS: In order to elucidate the medical care of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the United States, we randomly sampled HIV-infected adults receiving medical care in the contiguous United States at a facility other than military, prison, or emergency department facility during the first two months of 1996. We interviewed 76 percent of 4042 patients selected from among the patients receiving care from…

  • Changes Over Time in the Use of Do Not Resuscitate Orders and the Outcomes of Patients Receiving Them

    Neil Wenger, Neil S Wenger et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1997Referências: 23

    OBJECTIVES: Do not resuscitate (DNR) orders are increasingly common, though there has been little evaluation of their changing use. The authors contrasted the use and outcomes of DNR orders for nationally representative samples of Medicare patients hospitalized with specific diagnoses in 1981 to 1982 and 1985 to 1986. METHODS: Using ordinary least squares regression to adjust for patient and hospital characteristics, the authors compared use, tim…
