Medicare Data Linkages for Conducting Patient-Centered Outcomes Research on Economic Outcomes
Dados Bibliográficos
BACKGROUND: Medicare patients and other stakeholders often make health care decisions that have economic consequences. Research on economic variables that patients have identified as important is referred to as patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) and can generate evidence that informs decision-making. Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) claims are widely used for research and are a potentially valuable resource for studying some economic variables, particularly when linked to other datasets. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify and assess the characteristics of federally funded administrative and survey data sources that can be linked to Medicare claims for conducting PCOR on some economic outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN: A targeted internet search was conducted to identify a list of relevant data sources. A technical panel and key informant interviews were used for guidance and feedback. RESULTS: We identified 12 survey and 6 administrative sources of linked data for Medicare FFS beneficiaries. A majority provide longitudinal data and are updated annually. All linked sources provide some data on social determinants of health and health equity-related factors. Fifteen sources capture direct medical costs (beyond Medicare FFS payments); 5 capture indirect costs (eg, lost wages from absenteeism), and 7 capture direct nonmedical costs (eg, transportation). CONCLUSIONS: Linking Medicare FFS claims data to other federally funded data sources can facilitate research on some economic outcomes for PCOR. However, few sources capture direct nonmedical or indirect costs. Expanding linkages to include additional data sources, and reducing barriers to existing data sources, remain important objectives for increasing high-quality, patient-centered economic research
