Policy Determinants of Medicaid Nursing Home Use in Pennsylvania, 2013-2019.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
This dissertation applies statistical modeling techniques to estimate the impact of policy determinants on nursing home use in the Medicaid-covered population in Pennsylvania during the years 2013-2019. Using difference-in-difference analysis, the first essay exploits Pennsylvania’s staggered implementation of mandatory managed care to investigate whether longstay (>100 day) nursing home residents in counties that moved to managed care were more likely to be successfully discharged to a community setting within six months of longstay incidence. The second essay models the association between regional subsidized housing access and discharge to a community setting among longstay nursing facility residents. The third essay uses probabilistic matching to assign HUD program status (public housing, Section 8 project-based, and Section 202) to a population of waiver-eligible Pennsylvania Medicaid enrollees. Time-to-event analysis is applied to compare hazard of nursing home admission among these three housing-defined Medicaid populations.
