Study Summary
This project directly addresses the national imperative for innovative strategies to improve care for Medicare beneficiaries and reduce health care costs. The overall objective of the proposed project is to improve the care of older individuals who reside in nursing homes (NHs), and at the same time reduce unnecessary Medicare expenditures. This goal will be accomplished by testing a quality improvement program designed to reduce the number of avoidable hospitalizations of NH residents in a randomized controlled trial. The primary hypotheses to be tested are: Hypothesis1: Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers (INTERACT) implementation NHs will have a greater reduction in hospitalization rate than the control and monitoring only NHs during the 12-month implementation compared to a 12-month baseline period. Hypothesis 2: Reductions in Medicare expenditures for hospitalizations in the INTERACT implementation NHs will be greater than the estimated costs of implementing the intervention. Hypothesis 3: The effects of INTERACT on hospitalization rates will be greater among patients on the Medicare skilled benefit for post-acute care, than for long-stay patients. Hypothesis 4: The effects of INTERACT on hospitalization rates will be greatest among those NHs with higher vs. lower intensity (fidelity) of implementing the program. Hypothesis 5: There will be a greater reduction in measures of hospitalizations for conditions defined as "potentially preventable" than for other transfers and hospitalizations. Hypothesis 6: Implementation of INTERACT will not be associated with worsening of relevant quality measures in the participating NHs.
