Inpatient medical rehabilitation: results of the 1981 survey of hospitals and units.

This paper analyzed the results of the American Hospital Association's (AHA) 1981 survey of inpatient medical rehabilitation hospitals and units, which obtained information for 1980, and notes important differences from the patterns revealed by the survey when it was first conducted in 1979. The survey sample consisted of 554 hospitals, 334 of which responded to the questionnaire. Three categories of these hospitals (independent rehabilitation hospitals, self-contained rehabilitation hospitals within larger medical centers, and defined rehabilitation units of institutions) are examined in terms of utilization, referral sources of their admissions, places to which their patients were discharged, composition of their full-time equivalent professional medical staff, and sources of payment for inpatient claims.

A spatial analysis of voting on health care issues. United States House of Representatives, 86th Congress, First Session.

This study examines the spatial patterns of congressional voting on health issues. Thirteen roll call votes on health care issues occurring during the 1st Session of the 96th Congress are factor analyzed. This analysis shows that health care questions cluster around two major issues: health care regulation and health care spending. The factor scores for each Representative are mapped, and a regression model is developed relating health care voting to characteristics of the Representative, the Congressional district, and the hospitals in that district. The most important findings were: (1) support for both health care spending and regulation is strongest in the Northeast and upper Midwest. (2) Although Representatives from most of the Southern states are opposed to health care regulation, they generally favor health care spending. (3) Representatives from a few of the Southern states, however, do not fit this generalization. (4) Although Representatives from the Pacific Coast states are the strongest proponents of regulation, they are opposed to spending (5) Opposition to health care spending is particularly strong among Representatives from suburban districts.

Five-year trend shows urban community hospitals at risk for closure.

Examination of the distributional patterns and frequencies of the closings and resulting bed losses that occurred in 1977-1981 among urban community hospitals shows that these hospitals are more subject to closure than their non-urban counterparts. Small hospitals, investor-owned hospitals, and hospitals located in very large urban areas in the Pacific and Middle Atlantic regions are especially vulnerable.

Factors affecting trauma center utilization in Illinois.

The Illinois Trauma System has served as a prototype for many of the advanced emergency medical services systems developed during the past decade. The Illinois Trauma Study uses a cross-sectional research design to assess the trauma patient utilization patterns at hospitals in Illinois. Data were collected from 33 Trauma Centers and 43 nonsystem hospitals for the time interval July 1973-June 1974. Results indicated that 45.5 per cent of patients admitted with specified trauma conditions were hospitalized at Trauma Centers. When adjustment is made for differences in the size of hospitals, a 50 per cent excess in patient capture is found at Trauma Centers. This excess utilization found in Trauma Centers for this sample of trauma victims was not found among all patients admitted to these hospitals. Factors found to be associated with high Trauma Center use are race (high use among nonwhites), injury severity, evening admission to hospital and vehicular injury. Also, approximately two thirds of trauma patients that were admitted to intensive care units or transferred from other hospitals were hospitalized at Trauma Centers.

Data on U.S. hospitals: a comparison of the two principal sources.

Rapid changes in the nation's health-care requirements and systems of health-care delivery are making detailed and reliable information about the nation's hospitals increasingly important to researchers. This article compares the two principal sources of regular data about the utilization, finances, and staffing of U.S. hospitals--the American Hospital Association's Annual Survey of Hospitals and the National Hospital Panel Survey. It describes the kinds of data collected by the surveys and the methods by which they are processed and verified; and it shows how the surveys complement one another in providing a picture of the nation's hospital industry. The Annual, a yearly survey of all U.S. hospitals, obtains a data set suitable for detailed cross-sectional analyses. The Panel, a monthly survey of a sample of U.S. community hospitals, obtains a data set from which estimated projections suitable for broad longitudinal analysis are derived.
