Book Description
Objective: Adjusted hospital length of stay (LOS), widely used to benchmark hospital efficiency, does not account for community-driven variation. We estimate the extent to which community affects LOS for unplanned hospitalizations, whether this differs by complex needs, and identify communities significantly different from the provincial average. Methods: The outcome is LOS, adjusted for demographics and disease case-mix. Variation in LOS explained by community of residence is estimated using random intercept regression. Complex needs are defined using Elixhauser and Resource Intensity Weights. Small-area empirical Bayes estimates are calculated and mapped. Results: Community of residence is associated with adjusted LOS, and its effect differ by complex needs. Of 77 communities, 17 had an adjusted LOS differing from the provincial average. Conclusion: The community to which patients are discharged is associated with hospital LOS. Research is needed to understand why these communities are associated with longer or shorter adjusted LOS.

Book Description
Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
