State Medicaid programs are prohibited from using federal dollars to pay institutions for mental diseases (IMDs)-freestanding psychiatric facilities with more than 16 beds. Increasingly, regulatory mechanisms have made payment of treatment in these settings substantially more feasible. This study evaluates if changing financial incentives are associated with increases in for-profit ownership among IMD facilities relative to non-IMD facilities, as well as greater increases in Medicaid acceptance among for-profit IMD facilities relative to for-profit non-IMD facilities. We used data from the 2014-2020 National Mental Health Services Surveys and examined 11 945 facility-years. Relative to non-IMDs, the increase in for-profit ownership among IMDs was 6.6 percentage points greater. The largest proportional change in Medicaid acceptance occurred among for-profit IMD facilities relative to for-profit non-IMDs (18.5 percentage points). Existing research is mixed on the quality of inpatient and residential psychiatric care provided in for-profit vs nonprofit and public facilities, as well as in IMD relative to non-IMD facilities. As payment policy increasingly incentivizes for-profit facilities to enter the psychiatric care space, we should be mindful of the impact of these decisions on patient safety.

各州医疗补助计划不得使用联邦资金支付精神病院(IMDs)--床位超过 16 张的独立精神病院。随着监管机制的不断完善,支付这些机构的治疗费用变得更加可行。本研究评估了财政激励机制的变化是否与 IMD 机构中营利性所有权的增加(相对于非 IMD 机构)以及营利性 IMD 机构中医疗补助接受度的增加(相对于营利性非 IMD 机构)有关。我们使用了 2014-2020 年全国精神健康服务调查的数据,研究了 11 945 个设施年。与非精神病院相比,营利性精神病院的所有权增加了 6.6 个百分点。与营利性非综合病院相比,营利性综合病院接受医疗补助的比例变化最大(18.5 个百分点)。关于营利性机构与非营利性机构和公立机构,以及综合精神治疗机构与非综合精神治疗机构之间的住院和寄宿精神治疗质量,现有的研究结果不一。随着支付政策越来越多地鼓励营利性机构进入精神病护理领域,我们应该注意这些决定对患者安全的影响。

Telehealth utilization increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet few studies have documented associations of telehealth use with subsequent medical costs and health care utilization. We examined associations of telehealth use during the early COVID-19 public health emergency (March–June 2020) with subsequent total medical costs and health care utilization among people with heart disease (HD). We created a longitudinal cohort of individuals with HD using MarketScan Commercial Claims data (2018–2022). We used difference-in-difference methodology adjusting for patients’ characteristics, comorbidities, COVID-19 infection status, and number of in-person visits. We found that using telehealth during the stay-at-home order period was associated with a reduction in total medical costs (by -$1814 per person), number of emergency department visits (by -88.6 per 1,000 persons), and inpatient admissions (by -32.4 per 1,000 persons). Telehealth use increased per-person per-year pharmacy prescription claims (by 0.514) and average number of days’ drug supply (by.773 days). These associated benefits of telehealth use can inform decision makers, insurance companies, and health care professionals, especially in the context of disrupted health care access.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间,远程医疗的使用率有所增加,但很少有研究记录远程医疗的使用与后续医疗成本和医疗保健使用率之间的关系。我们研究了 COVID-19 公共卫生紧急事件早期(2020 年 3 月至 6 月)期间远程医疗的使用与心脏病(HD)患者随后的医疗总成本和医疗利用率之间的关系。我们利用 MarketScan 商业索赔数据(2018-2022 年)创建了一个 HD 患者纵向队列。我们采用差异法对患者的特征、合并症、COVID-19 感染状态和亲自就诊次数进行了调整。我们发现,在居家订单期间使用远程医疗与总医疗费用的减少(每人-1814 美元)、急诊就诊次数的减少(每千人-88.6 次)和住院人数的减少(每千人-32.4 次)相关。远程保健的使用增加了每人每年的药房处方报销次数(增加了 0.514 次)和平均药品供应天数(增加了 773 天)。使用远程保健的这些相关益处可以为决策者、保险公司和医疗保健专业人员提供信息,尤其是在医疗保健服务中断的情况下。

The Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) is an alternative payment model launched in 2012, creating accountable care organizations (ACOs) to improve quality and lower costs for Traditional Medicare patients. Most MSSP participants were expected to shift from bearing no financial risk to a two-sided risk model (i.e., bonus if spending reduced below historical benchmarks, penalty if not), yet fewer than 20% did. Therefore, in 2019 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Pathways to Success program, which required shifting to a two-sided model within 12 months. For the first time, more ACOs exited than entered the MSSP. To understand these participation decisions, we conducted qualitative interviews with ACO leaders. Pathways caused ACOs to: reassess their potential shared savings versus losses, particularly in light of benchmarking methodology changes, reconsider perceived non-revenue benefits, and reassess participation in the MSSP vs. other programs. As ACOs, particularly those assuming downside risk, have contained costs and enhanced care quality, policymakers should strive to improve MSSP enrollment rates in downside-risk models through strategies that allow ACOs to achieve shared-savings and deliver accountable care.
医疗保险共同节约计划(MSSP)是 2012 年推出的一种替代支付模式,旨在创建责任医疗组织(ACO),为传统医疗保险患者提高质量、降低成本。预计大多数 MSSP 参与者将从不计财务风险转变为双面风险模式(即如果支出低于历史基准,则给予奖励,否则给予处罚),但只有不到 20% 的参与者做到了这一点。因此,2019 年,医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)推出了 "通往成功之路 "计划,要求在 12 个月内转向双面模式。退出 MSSP 的 ACO 首次超过了进入 MSSP 的 ACO。为了解这些参与决策,我们对 ACO 领导进行了定性访谈。Pathways 使 ACO 重新评估其潜在的共享节余与亏损,特别是考虑到基准方法的变化,重新考虑预期的非收入利益,并重新评估参与 MSSP 与其他计划的对比。由于 ACO(尤其是那些承担下行风险的 ACO)已经控制了成本并提高了医疗质量,政策制定者应努力提高下行风险模式的 MSSP 注册率,通过各种策略使 ACO 实现共同节余并提供负责任的医疗服务。

Healthcare performance metrics are offered predominantly in terms of outcomes, processes, or structural components of healthcare delivery. However, measurement is limited by variability in data sources, definitions, and workarounds. The American College of Surgeons has recently developed a new type of performance metric known as a programmatic measure. These metrics align structures, processes, and outcomes to better coordinate quality measurement with support of frontline care teams. In this multifaceted way, these measures differ from current ‘single’ measures such as targeting surgical site infection (SSI). The thematic focus of these measures and alignment of structure-resource components to support processes and outcomes also sets these measures apart from contemporary composite measures. Importantly, structural elements of these measures reflect minimum resources required for patient care, addressing staffing and resource barriers felt by local institutions in addressing numerous existing quality metrics. These metrics will streamline quality reporting to improve care navigation for patients. Clinicians will find more appropriately aligned goals and responsibilities, resulting in increased teamwork and communication. These measures are designed to address the current burdens of overabundant metrics, priority misalignment, and low resources in a patient centric fashion to better align healthcare quality and measurement.
医疗保健绩效指标主要从结果、流程或医疗保健服务的结构性组成部分等方面进行衡量。然而,由于数据来源、定义和变通方法的不同,衡量标准受到了限制。美国外科医生学会最近开发了一种新型的绩效指标,即计划性指标。这些衡量标准将结构、流程和结果统一起来,以更好地协调质量衡量与对一线护理团队的支持。通过这种多方面的方式,这些衡量标准有别于当前的 "单一 "衡量标准,例如针对手术部位感染(SSI)的衡量标准。这些衡量标准的主题重点和结构-资源组成部分的调整以支持流程和结果,也使这些衡量标准有别于当前的综合衡量标准。重要的是,这些指标的结构要素反映了患者护理所需的最低资源,解决了地方机构在处理众多现有质量指标时所遇到的人员和资源障碍。这些指标将简化质量报告,改善患者的护理导航。临床医生将发现目标和责任更加一致,从而加强团队合作和沟通。这些措施旨在以患者为中心的方式,解决目前指标过多、优先级不统一、资源不足等问题,从而更好地调整医疗质量和衡量标准。

Safety net programs in the United States offered critical support to counter food insecurity and poverty during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) are both means-tested programs with significant benefits. Take-up of SNAP and EITC is lower in California than nationwide and reasons for this difference are unclear. We examined associations of participation in SNAP and receipt of the EITC and perceptions of the US government, two types of welfare stigma (program stigma and social stigma), and perceived discrimination. We interviewed a sample of 497 caregivers of young children from families with low income in California between August 2020 and May 2021. We found that participation in SNAP (OR = 1.24 [1.05, 1.47]) and receiving the EITC (OR = 1.39 [1.05, 1.84]) were both associated with greater reported perceptions of social stigma, but not with perceptions of government, program stigma, or discrimination. Among food insecure respondents, we found that participation in SNAP was additionally associated with program stigma and discrimination. These findings suggest that perceived social stigma may be a reason that people with low income may not participate in programs for which they are eligible.
在 COVID-19 大流行的第一年,美国的安全网计划为应对粮食不安全和贫困问题提供了重要支持。补充营养援助计划 (SNAP) 和收入所得税抵免 (EITC) 都是对经济情况进行调查的计划,具有显著的益处。在加利福尼亚州,SNAP 和 EITC 的参与率低于全美,造成这种差异的原因尚不清楚。我们研究了参与 SNAP 和接受 EITC 与对美国政府的看法、两种福利污名(项目污名和社会污名)以及感知到的歧视之间的关联。2020 年 8 月至 2021 年 5 月期间,我们对来自加利福尼亚州低收入家庭的 497 名幼儿看护人进行了抽样调查。我们发现,参与 SNAP(OR = 1.24 [1.05, 1.47])和领取 EITC(OR = 1.39 [1.05, 1.84])都与报告的社会污名感增加有关,但与政府、项目污名感或歧视感无关。在食物无保障的受访者中,我们发现参与 SNAP 计划还与计划污名化和歧视有关。这些研究结果表明,社会耻辱感可能是低收入人群不参加他们有资格参加的项目的一个原因。

Recognizing the impact of the social determinants of health (SDOH) on health outcomes, in 2016, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recommended use of ICD-10 Z-Codes to capture patients’ health related social needs. We examined changes in Z-Code utilization to document health related social needs for Medicare Fee for Service recipients among U.S. hospitals between 2017 to 2021 across five common SDOH domains. We found that while 56.9 percent of hospitals had at least one Z-Code recorded in at least one patient per year, apart from those referring to housing needs, rates of Z-Code adoption were low. Additionally, hospitals that were general medical, part of a teaching institution, affiliated with larger health systems, and of medium to large size had greater odds of utilizing Z-Codes. Findings from this study highlight the need for continued efforts in promoting the consistent use of standardized SDOH capturing methods like Z-Code documentation, such as provider training.
认识到健康的社会决定因素(SDOH)对健康结果的影响,美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心于 2016 年建议使用 ICD-10 Z 代码来记录患者与健康相关的社会需求。我们研究了 2017 年至 2021 年期间,美国医院在五个常见 SDOH 领域使用 Z 代码记录医疗保险收费服务受助者健康相关社会需求的变化情况。我们发现,虽然 56.9% 的医院每年至少为一名患者记录了一个 Z 代码,但除了那些提及住房需求的医院外,Z 代码的采用率很低。此外,全科医院、教学机构的一部分、大型医疗系统的附属医院以及大中型医院使用 Z 代码的几率更大。这项研究的结果突出表明,有必要继续努力促进标准化 SDOH 采集方法(如 Z 代码文档)的持续使用,例如对医疗服务提供者进行培训。

What is a star worth to Medicare beneficiaries? A discrete choice experiment of hospital quality ratings 对于医疗保险受益人来说,一颗星值多少钱?医院质量评级的离散选择实验

Hospital quality ratings are widely available to help Medicare beneficiaries make an informed choice about where to receive care. However, how beneficiaries trade-off between different quality domains (clinical outcomes, patient experience, safety, efficiency) and other considerations (out of pocket cost, travel distance) is not well understood. We sought to study how beneficiaries make trade-offs when choosing a hypothetical hospital. We administered an online survey that included a discrete choice experiment to a nationally representative sample of one thousand and twenty-five Medicare beneficiaries. On average, beneficiaries were willing to pay $1,698 more for a hospital with a one-star higher rating on clinical outcomes. This was over twice the value of the patient experience ($691) and safety domains ($615) and nearly eight times the value of the efficiency domain ($218). We also found that the value of a one-star improvement depends not only on the quality domain, but also the baseline level of performance of the hospital. Generally, it is more valuable for low performing hospitals to achieve average performance than for average hospitals to achieve excellence.
医院质量评级的广泛应用可帮助医疗保险受益人在接受医疗服务时做出明智的选择。然而,受益人如何在不同的质量领域(临床结果、患者体验、安全性、效率)和其他考虑因素(自付费用、旅行距离)之间进行权衡还不十分清楚。我们试图研究受益人在选择假定医院时如何进行权衡。我们对具有全国代表性的 125 名医疗保险受益人进行了在线调查,其中包括离散选择实验。平均而言,受益人愿意为临床结果评级高出一星的医院多支付 1,698 美元。这是患者体验(691 美元)和安全领域(615 美元)价值的两倍多,是效率领域(218 美元)价值的近八倍。我们还发现,一星级改进的价值不仅取决于质量领域,还取决于医院的基线绩效水平。一般来说,绩效低的医院取得平均绩效比绩效一般的医院取得卓越绩效更有价值。

On average, beneficiaries were willing to pay $1,698 more for a hospital with a one-star higher rating on clinical outcomes. This was over twice the value of the patient experience ($691) and safety domains ($615) and nearly eight times the value of the efficiency domain ($218). We also found that the value of a one-star improvement depends not only on the quality domain, but also the baseline level of performance of the hospital. Generally, it is more valuable for low performing hospitals to achieve average performance than for average hospitals to achieve excellence.","PeriodicalId":94025,"journal":{"name":"Health affairs scholar","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139008550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 340B program grants eligible healthcare providers (“covered entities”) access to discounted prices for outpatient prescription drugs. Covered entities frequently rely on retail pharmacies (“contract pharmacies”) to dispense discounted drugs. This analysis describes contract pharmacy participation by ownership: the top four chains, grocery chains, small chains, and institutional independent pharmacies. We find that 71% of pharmacies in the top 4 chains were contract pharmacies, 41% of institutional pharmacies, 38% of grocery store pharmacies, and 22% of independent pharmacies participated in 340B in 2022. The median number of contracts per pharmacy was 2 among the top four chains and grocery store pharmacies, versus 1 for all other pharmacy types. The median farthest distance in miles from contracting covered entities was largest for the top-four chains (19 miles) and small chains (18 miles) and smallest for independent and institutional pharmacies (10 miles). The top four chains held the highest proportion of contracts with core safety-net providers (75%, compared to 61% of institutional pharmacies).
340B计划允许符合条件的医疗保健提供者(“受保实体”)获得门诊处方药的折扣价。受保实体经常依赖零售药店(“合同药店”)分发折扣药品。本分析描述了合同药房的所有权参与:前四名连锁店,杂货连锁店,小型连锁店和机构独立药房。研究发现,2022年,前4大连锁药店中71%为合同药店,41%为机构药店,38%为杂货店药店,22%为独立药店参与340B。在四大连锁药店和杂货店药店中,每家药店的合同中位数为2份,而其他所有类型的药店为1份。以英里为单位的距离中位数最大的是四大连锁药店(19英里)和小型连锁药店(18英里),最小的是独立和机构药店(10英里)。四大连锁药店与核心安全网供应商签订合同的比例最高(75%,而机构药店的比例为61%)。
