Rural Clients’ Continuity Into Follow‐Up Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Among rural clients discharged from detoxification and residential treatment, travel time can be an important factor in predicting timely continuity
Commercial Health Plan Coverage of Selected Treatments for Opioid Use Disorders from 2003 to 2014
Opioid use disorders (OUDs) are receiving significant attention in the U.S. as a public health crisis. Access to treatment for OUDs is essential and was expected to improve following implementation of the federal parity law and the Affordable Care Act. This study examines changes in coverage and management of treatments for OUDs (opioid treatment programs (OTPs) as a covered service benefit, buprenorphine as a pharmacy benefit) before, during, an…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Patient Experience With Communication in Hospitals
BACKGROUND: An important aspect of medical care is clear and effective communication, which can be particularly challenging for individuals based on race/ethnicity. Quality of communication is measured systematically in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey, and analyzed frequently such as in the National Healthcare Disparities Report. Caution is needed to discern differences in communication quality…
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Substance Abuse Treatment Initiation and Engagement
This study examined variations by race and ethnicity in initiation and engagement, two performance measures of treatment for substance use disorders that focus on the timely receipt of services during the early stage of substance abuse treatment. Administrative data from the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services were linked with facility-level information from the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services. …
Older Adults’ Inpatient and Emergency Department Utilization for Ambulatory-Care-Sensitive Conditions
Results partially support the hypothesis that excessive drinking may be related to ACSC acute-care utilization among older adults, suggesting increased risk of lower quality outpatient care
Identification and Treatment of Mental and Substance Use Conditions
BACKGROUND: Mental health and substance use conditions are under-recognized and under-treated. Private health plans may be able to affect the extent of screening and, thus, identification of enrollees who need treatment. OBJECTIVES: The goals of this study were to determine strategies used by health plans to identify mental health and substance use conditions; and describe the characteristics of health plans associated with use of these strategie…
Quality Measurement and Accountability for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services in Managed Care Organizations
OBJECTIVES: To analyze managed care organizations' (MCOs') use of behavioral health quality management activities using nationally representative survey data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The primary data source is the Brandeis Survey on Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Services in MCOs. Using a sampling strategy designed for national estimates, we surveyed 434 MCOs in 60 market areas (response rate = 92%) regarding their commercial products' beh…
Hospital Volume and Patient Outcomes
Patients achieve better outcomes at hospitals that treat larger numbers of patients with certain diagnoses or who are undergoing particular procedures. However, the causal direction underlying this relationship is less well understood. Do patients treated at institutions with higher volumes of patients achieve better outcomes because the hospital staff and physicians have gained expertise by practice (the "practice makes perfect" hypothesis)? Do …
Changes in patient characteristics and surgical outcomes for coronary artery bypass surgery 1972-82
Data from a national sample of hospitals were used to explore reasons for improved in-hospital survival rate for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery between 1972 and 1982. Increases in annual volumes of surgery explain a large fraction of the decline in death rates. The residual can be attributed to improved techniques, experience, and other factors, even though more operations were done on older patients and women in 1982 than 1972
