Agenda
Compare people who use nursing homes with people using home- and community-based services (HCBS)
Temporal trends Selected sub-populations Next steps
Notes
1999-2005 data from MDCH data warehouse
MDS (NH) and MDS-HC (HC) All people, not only Medicaid eligibles 2005 data from Jan-June Admission = all admissions in year Prevalence = assessment closest to
July 1st of that year

Identifying LTC Sub-populations
SMI (any of 4)• verbally abusive, physically abusive, socially inappropriate• hallucinations, delusions• bipolar disease, schizophrenia• symptoms of depression
Short stay• Admission from hospital (NH)• Medicare (NH)• LOS < 90 days (both NH and HCBS)
Long stay: >1 year Age <45 years Note: subpopulations overlap somewhat
Selected Sub-Population Notes
Used 2004 (last year with full data, as some pops had low prevalence)
Some differences in NH and HC definitions (long- and short-stay)

Results – “Focused Approach”
Groups “most like” Passages individuals:• < 65, in facility 60d-2yr, at most mildly
cognitively impaired (A, B, D)• < 65, in facility >2yr, with hemiplegia,
quadriplegia, or paraplegia (C)• 65+ age, in facility 60d-2yr, in lowest RUG-III
case-mix groups, cognitively intact (E)• Focused target is 1.5% of entire NF population
– 62.2% sensitivity– 98.5 specificity
Next Steps
Link new data with:• Medicaid identifiers• Death records• Length of stay information
Examine longitudinal outcomes Identify “boutique” populations
• What are your ideas to define these? Make data available to UoM LTC researchers Could we forge a common research agenda?
