Download or read book Medicare Patients and Postacute Care written by Carl Richard Neu and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1989 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of an effort to understand better the "natural history" of episodes of care among Medicare beneficiaries, this report documents patterns of postacute care use by Medicare patients and explores some factors that may explain these patterns. The research suggests that there are factors unrelated to a patient's medical condition that determine the setting in which postacute care is given. These factors include economic and social circumstances, and characteristics of the discharging hospital. Specifically, whites are significantly more likely to use skilled nursing facility (SNF) care than nonwhites, whereas nonwhites are significantly more likely to use home health care than whites. A similar pattern is repeated at the hospital level: Patients discharged from hospitals with a "disproportionate share" of Medicaid patients are less likely to receive SNF care but more likely to use home health care than are patients discharged from other hospitals. Because SNF and home health care appear to be substitutes for each other, policy measures that affect care in one of these settings will probably affect care in the other.

Download or read book Using Medicare Cost Reports to Calculate Costs for Post acute Care Claims written by Nicole M. Coomer and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we describe technical approaches for calculating costs associated with Medicare post-acute care provider claims, including long-term care hospitals (LTCHs), inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs), home health agencies (HHAs), and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), using Medicare cost report data (Healthcare Cost Report Information System, or HCRIS) and claims data. Analyses of resource utilization often focus on costs of providing medical care, rather than payments for medical care. Calculated costs more accurately reflect the claim-level costs to providers of providing care than the payments made to providers, which often include policy adjustments (such as disproportionate share payments for inpatient hospitals) that are not directly related to the costs of providing care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For patients and their loved ones, no care decisions are more profound than those made near the end of life. Unfortunately, the experience of dying in the United States is often characterized by fragmented care, inadequate treatment of distressing symptoms, frequent transitions among care settings, and enormous care responsibilities for families. According to this report, the current health care system of rendering more intensive services than are necessary and desired by patients, and the lack of coordination among programs increases risks to patients and creates avoidable burdens on them and their families. Dying in America is a study of the current state of health care for persons of all ages who are nearing the end of life. Death is not a strictly medical event. Ideally, health care for those nearing the end of life harmonizes with social, psychological, and spiritual support. All people with advanced illnesses who may be approaching the end of life are entitled to access to high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care, consistent with their wishes. Dying in America evaluates strategies to integrate care into a person- and family-centered, team-based framework, and makes recommendations to create a system that coordinates care and supports and respects the choices of patients and their families. The findings and recommendations of this report will address the needs of patients and their families and assist policy makers, clinicians and their educational and credentialing bodies, leaders of health care delivery and financing organizations, researchers, public and private funders, religious and community leaders, advocates of better care, journalists, and the public to provide the best care possible for people nearing the end of life.

Download or read book Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-03-27 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals and nursing homes are responding to changes in the health care system by modifying staffing levels and the mix of nursing personnel. But do these changes endanger the quality of patient care? Do nursing staff suffer increased rates of injury, illness, or stress because of changing workplace demands? These questions are addressed in Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes, a thorough and authoritative look at today's health care system that also takes a long-term view of staffing needs for nursing as the nation moves into the next century. The committee draws fundamental conclusions about the evolving role of nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and presents recommendations about staffing decisions, nursing training, measurement of quality, reimbursement, and other areas. The volume also discusses work-related injuries, violence toward and abuse of nursing staffs, and stress among nursing personnelâ€"and examines whether these problems are related to staffing levels. Included is a readable overview of the underlying trends in health care that have given rise to urgent questions about nurse staffing: population changes, budget pressures, and the introduction of new technologies. Nursing Staff in Hospitals and Nursing Homes provides a straightforward examination of complex and sensitive issues surround the role and value of nursing on our health care system.

Book excerpt: This is the first national report to look at how effectively communities and hospitals coordinate care for some of their sickest patients--those leaving the hospital after a stay to treat an acute or chronic illness. Without high-quality care coordination, patients can bounce from home to the emergency room and back into the hospital, sometimes repeatedly. Hospital readmission rates are increasingly seen as markers of local health care systems' ability to coordinate care for patients across the full continuum of care settings: hospitals, rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, clinician offices, hospice and home. Better care coordination promises to reduce readmission rates and improve patients' lives while reducing costs.
