Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Massachusetts Boston, 2003.

Based on Donabedian's framework (1966) of medical care quality, this project entailed an empirical examination of the association between structure and process indicators of quality of care, as well as individual risk factors, and changes of self-rated health status and mortality over time among elderly Medicare beneficiaries with specific chronic diseases---congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and diabetes.

520 $a Based on Donabedian's framework (1966) of medical care quality, this project entailed an empirical examination of the association between structure and process indicators of quality of care, as well as individual risk factors, and changes of self-rated health status and mortality over time among elderly Medicare beneficiaries with specific chronic diseases---congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and diabetes.
520 $a The main data source was the Access to Care (ATC), a component of the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MOBS), from 1992 to 1996. The MCBS was a continuous panel survey of a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries. Data from multiple years (1992--1996) of the MCBS were pooled between surveys to measure annual changes in self-rated health status and mortality. The entire study sample of 32,193 beneficiary years included the study condition sample (N = 13,352) and the non-study condition sample (N = 18,841). The study condition sample was comprised of 7,060 beneficiary years for individuals with heart diseases, 4,532 with stroke, and 6,378 with diabetes.
520 $a Descriptive statistics of the baseline self-rated health status and multinomial logit regression analyses were used to examine the associations between individual factors and self-reported health status across the three study chronic conditions.
520 $a The general patterns of the study results suggest that changes in self-reported health status and mortality outcomes are largely driven by individual risk factors such as illness and health behaviors rather than process indicators and structural factors, regardless of the study conditions and the baseline health status. Among illness and health behavior factors, more functional status problems and more coexisting diseases were found to be the strongest predictors of self-rated health status decline and mortality. The process indicators and structural attributes, overall, were identified to play a moderate role in self-rated health status changes and mortality.
520 $a The findings of this study have implications that are related to management of chronic conditions. Healthcare policy should focus not only on delaying disease process, but also on preventing disease related-complications and adverse outcomes, and on helping the elderly Medicare beneficiaries to manage their own chronic illness.
