Book excerpt: Managed health care is changing the financing and delivery of health care in the United States. The effects of those changes are impacting on the Military Health Services System and the U.S. Army Medical Command. The Department of Defense requires all medical treatment facilities to implement and carry out utilization management policies to monitor appropriateness of care as one means to reduce costs. The Department of Defense mandated budget cuts for FY97 which totaled $55 million within the regional medical command. One reason for the cuts was utilization was greater than it should be, and mandatory budget decreases would force the hospitals to decrease utilization. The effect would be to reduce expenditures and save money. This management project provides a baseline assessment of utilization management in five regional hospitals. It compares differences in utilization between active duty military and CHAMPUS eligible patients, and between fiscal years 1995 and 1996. Metrics evaluated are average length of stay, total discharges, and total bed days per one thousand eligible beneficiaries.

Download or read book Transportation Distance and Health Care Utilization for Older Adults in Rural and Small Urban Areas written by Jeremy Wade Mattson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation is a vital issue for access to health care, especially in rural areas where travel distances are great and access to alternative modes such as transit is less prevalent. This study estimates the impacts of transportation and geography on utilization of health care services for older adults in rural and small urban areas. Using data collected from a survey, a model was developed based on the Health Behavior Model that considered transportation and distance as factors that could enable or impede health care utilization. A random sample of individuals aged 60 or older living in the rural Upper Great Plains states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming was surveyed by mail. With a response rate of 20%, responses were received from 543 individuals. An ordered probit model was used to estimate trip frequency, and a binary probit model was used to estimate the likelihood that an individual would miss or delay a health care trip. Distance and transportation variables were not found to significantly influence the total number of routine or chronic care trips made overall, while emergency care visits were impacted by transportation options. However, additional results showed that those who cannot drive make more trips if someone else in the household can drive; distance and access to transportation impact the likelihood that someone will miss or delay a trip; and difficulty reported in making trips is significantly affected by distance and transportation options. The greatest problems for people using public transportation for health care trips is inconvenient schedules, the need to match transit and medical schedules, and infrequent service.
