Abstract

Objective. To examine the impact of pay for performance in Medicaid on the quality and utilization of care. Data Sources. Medicaid claims and encounter data in three intervention states (Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Alabama) and three comparison states. Study Design. Difference-in-difference analysis with propensity score-matched comparison group. Primary outcomes of interest were Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS)-like process measures of quality, utilization by service category, and ambulatory care-sensitive admissions and emergency department visits. Principal Findings. In Pennsylvania, there was a statistically significant reduction of 88 ambulatory visits per 1,000 enrollee months compared with Florida. In Minnesota, there was a significant decrease of 7.2 hospital admissions per thousand enrollee months compared with Wisconsin. In Alabama, where incentives were not paid out until the end of a 2-year waiver period, there was a decline of 1.6 hospital admissions per thousand member months, and an increase of 59 ambulatory visits per 1,000 enrollees compared with Georgia. No significant quality improvements in intervention relative to control states. Conclusions. Our findings are mixed, with no measurable quality improvements across the three states, but reductions in hospital admissions in two programs. As states move to value-based payment for patient-centered medical homes and Accountable Care Organizations, lessons learned from these pioneering states should inform program design. Key Words. Pay for performance, Medicaid, value-based purchasing in provider relationships, shared savings, Pay-for-performance (P4P) programs for health care providers are now widely implemented in the hope of improving the quality of care and, increasingly, to control costs. The Affordable Care Act of [...]

59. Boston: An Urban Community. Boston and the American Revolution; The Leaders, the Issues and the Common Man. Boston's Architecture: From First Townhouse to New City Hall. Boston's Artisans of the Eighteenth Century. Annotated Reading Lists.

Author

Boston Public Library, MA. and Schneider, Eric C.

Abstract

These three annotated reading guides were developed for courses offered at the Boston Public Library under the National Endowment for the Humanities Library Learning Program. The first lists 32 selected recent works of major importance covering the areas of colonial society, political structure, and the American Revolution. The 27 titles cited in the second include not only books about Boston architecture, but books about Boston which deal with various of the city's buildings; guidebooks to individual buildings have been excluded. The 31 readings on Boston's artisans and their products are divided into three sections: (1) the topography of the city from 1725 to 1815; (2) the artisan community and the social structure of Boston, focusing on the role of craftsmen in the Revolution and their changing social status; and (3) the crafts of 18th century Boston and some biographical materials on individual artisans.
