Using data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey (2018-2023), we compare entrant characteristics before and during the pandemic era, focusing on demographic composition and sector choice. Results show minimal shifts by gender, race, or education but highlight a rise in entrants from outside the labor force, particularly among White women and racially minoritized men. There were changes in sector choice: ambulatory care saw the greatest increase in racially minoritized entrants, with small increases for hospitals and a decrease for long-term care. Despite these sector-specific shifts, overall opportunities for minoritized workers did not expand, nor did workforce diversity significantly improve. These findings underscore the need for research that examines how policies outside the workplace shape worker behavior, particularly among marginalized groups.","PeriodicalId":51127,"journal":{"name":"Medical Care Research and Review","volume":" ","pages":"346-353"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12197824/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since provider perspectives on CBPC remain underexplored, we conducted a scoping review to summarize provider perspectives regarding barriers and facilitators to implementation of adult CBPC in the United States. We systematically searched OVID, MEDLINE, and CINAHL for peer-reviewed qualitative research published from January 1, 2010 to January 9, 2024, then used PRISM framework synthesis to organize themes into provider, organization, and external environment levels. Thirty-four articles were included. At the provider level, barriers included misperceptions of palliative care (PC) by referring providers and poor communication, while facilitators included multidisciplinary teams and referring provider education. At the organizational level, time constraints were barriers, while leadership buy-in and co-located clinics were facilitators. At the external environment level, limited PC workforce and inadequate reimbursement were barriers. Our findings suggest that efforts aimed at scaling CBPC must address factors at the provider, organizational, and policy levels.","PeriodicalId":51127,"journal":{"name":"Medical Care Research and Review","volume":" ","pages":"301-318"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142916203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Washington state's Health Home Managed Fee-For-Service demonstration, part of the Financial Alignment Initiative, sought to improve care and reduce costs for high-cost, high-risk dual enrollees through care coordination. Using Medicare and Medicaid administrative claims data from 2016 to 2019, we evaluate the impact of the Washington demonstration on health care utilization using a modified regression discontinuity design. We find that for relatively healthy enrollees on the margin of eligibility for the demonstration, enrollment in the demonstration modestly reduced emergency department visits, ambulatory care visits, and some types of home and community-based service (HCBS) use and reduced nursing facility stays for older enrollees, but did not impact inpatient or skilled nursing facility admissions. Addressing the fragmentation of coverage, care, and financing for dual enrollees remains an important policy and research priority.","PeriodicalId":51127,"journal":{"name":"Medical Care Research and Review","volume":" ","pages":"336-345"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Catholic systems face conflicting institutional pressures to provide mission-oriented services while remaining financially competitive. Using 2009-2022 data from the American Hospital Association (n = 33,552 hospital-years), we applied difference-in-differences methods to compare changes in hospital operations after acquisition by Catholic and non-Catholic systems relative to the control group of never-acquired hospitals. Catholic-acquired hospitals were more likely to offer some mission-oriented services, including chaplaincy and charity care (average treatment effect on the treated, ATT, 10.41 percentage-point [pp] and 3.97 pp, respectively), while non-Catholic-acquired hospitals were less likely to operate an obstetrics unit (ATT -3.45 pp) after acquisition relative to the control group. Hospitals experienced similar cost-cutting measures after acquisition relative to the control group, including reduced operating expenses and employment, regardless of system ownership type. Our findings provide rigorous empirical evidence to inform ongoing policy debates regarding the expansion of Catholic health care.","PeriodicalId":51127,"journal":{"name":"Medical Care Research and Review","volume":" ","pages":"10775587251355541"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Older adults may have been especially vulnerable to changes such as family access and reduced staffing during the COVID-19 pandemic. We examined 2018-2023 Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys from 14,760,049 respondents discharged from 4,462 hospitals. We examined changes in an HCAHPS summary score (HCAHPS-SS), controlling for pre-pandemic quarterly and linear trends. HCAHPS-SS declined 4.1pp, a medium-to-large drop by Q3/2022, recovering only slightly by Q4/2023 (to -3.5pp). HCAHPS-SS decreased fastest for patients 75+ and least for maternity patients, even controlling for age. Differences by age may reflect older patients' greater need for instrumental support and differential impacts of visitor restrictions. Hospitals' quality improvement efforts should focus on understanding the need for patient support and on restoring prior patient experience gains. The failure to return to pre-pandemic levels points to the need to understand and address the residual factors that continue to alter patient experience.","PeriodicalId":51127,"journal":{"name":"Medical Care Research and Review","volume":" ","pages":"10775587251349053"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144576894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
