The Quality of Nursing Homes That Serve Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:As the national population of persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ages, they will require greater postacute and long-term care use. Little is known about the quality of nursing homes (NHs) to which patients with HIV are admitted. In this study, we assess the association between the number of persons with HIV admitted annually to a given NH (HIV concentration) and that NH's quality outcomes. DESIGN:A cross-sectional comparative study. SETTING:NHs in nine states, from 2001 to 2012. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 46 918 NH-years accounting for 67 301 admissions by patients with HIV. MEASUREMENTS:We used 100% Medicaid Analytic Extract, Minimum Dataset 2.0 and 3.0, and Medicare claims from 2001 to 2012 from nine states to examine the association between HIV concentration and NH quality. Persons were classified as HIV positive on the basis of all available data sources, and a NH's percentage of new admissions with HIV was calculated (HIV concentration). We then compared differences in star ratings, rehospitalization rates, NH survey deficiencies, and restraint use by a NH's percentage of admissions with HIV, using linear random effects models. RESULTS:After adjusting for NH characteristics, zip code characteristics, and state and year fixed effects, NHs with greater than 0% to 5% of admissions with HIV had a 0.6 lower star rating (P?
