Care Outcome

Abstract Sepsis survivorship is associated with cognitive decline and complex post-acute care needs. Family caregivers may be unprepared to manage these needs, resulting in decline or no improvement in patient outcomes. Using a national dataset of Medicare beneficiaries who were discharged from the hospital for sepsis and received post-acute HHC between 2013 and 2014 (n=165,228), we examined the relationship between unmet caregiving needs and improvement or decline in cognitive functioning. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associations between unmet caregiving needs at the start of HHC and changes in cognitive functioning. Unmet caregiving needs included seven items from the start of care Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS). Changes in cognitive functioning were measured using the start of care and discharge OASIS assessments. Twenty-four percent of patients either declined or did not improve in cognitive functioning from HHC admission to discharge, with variation seen by unmet need type. Sepsis survivors with unmet caregiving needs for activities of daily living assistance (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01, 1.09), medication assistance (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02,1.10), and supervision and safety assistance (OR 1.110, 95% CI 1.06,1.16) were more likely to decline or not improve in cognitive functioning, even after accounting for clinical and demographic characteristics. Older sepsis survivors with both cognitive impairment and unmet caregiving needs in the post-acute HHC setting are at high-risk for worsening cognition. Alerting the care team of cognitively impaired sepsis survivors with unmet caregiving needs may trigger evidence-based strategies to enhance caregiver training and reduce unmet caregiving needs.

Offshore Activities

Users of Exhibit 21 cannot tell whether a tax haven subsidiary is actively operating or a dormant shell company.  In this paper, we develop a new set of parsimonious measures to highlight the distinct mechanisms and tax effects of offshore sales to, as opposed to purchases from, tax haven countries, offering insights on the effects of certain types of offshoring activities on firms’ tax burdens.  Our main measure has about three times the effect of the mere existence of a haven subsidiary in explaining firms’ effective tax rates.  We detail the processes to predict the offshore activities in tax haven countries for firms without an Exhibit 21 and firms reporting no subsidiary operations in a tax haven country.  Relative to the mere mention of a tax haven subsidiary in Exhibit 21, our new measures provide a richer information set to capture different types of economic activities in tax haven countries.

Key Aspects

Preferred provider organizations (PPOs) represent a diverse and complex set of arrangements among insurance entities, networks of physicians, network organizers, and purchasers. Opinions differ regarding the degree to which PPOs have responsibility to manage care and to measure and report key aspects of their performance to customers and the public. Technical and operational challenges to performance measurement currently limit public reporting, even when agreement exists that it is appropriate for PPOs to do so. The Health Plan and Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a health maintenance organization performance measure that could provide standards for PPO reporting. This article explores conceptual and methodological considerations regarding HEDIS and other performance measurement in PPOs and identifies failures of the current marketplace. While using some measures may be premature or inappropriate, there are significant opportunities to apply other measures now and, by doing so, to create a functional health care marketplace.
