<h3><a name="23">2.3. Psychosocial
|
|
Needs</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This group includes those individuals who have mental illness,
|
|
cognitive impairment, or developmental delays and live independently in the
|
|
community with the support of a treatment or day/mental health program or
|
|
(nearly) full-time caretaker.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>NHIS—D includes data about people who receive services
|
|
from adult day care or day activity centers. Services include meals,
|
|
counseling, nursing, monitoring of medications, and personal care. There are
|
|
also items about outpatient mental health services, the number of months that
|
|
outpatient mental health services were received, the number of visits that were
|
|
made on an emergency basis, and any support provided by a community mental
|
|
health program. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The American Community Survey includes information on
|
|
individuals in households who have difficulty learning, remembering, or
|
|
concentrating. When combined with the receipt of SSI, this information may be
|
|
an indication of the severity of the condition.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>MassCHIP does not capture information on services utilized,
|
|
but does collect information about the number of days of poor mental health in
|
|
the past 30 days and the number of days of sad, blue, or depressed mood in the
|
|
past 30 days. These items are probably too broad to be good indicators of
|
|
severe mental illness.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Medicaid claims may contain information about programs in
|
|
the community that support individuals who have psychosocial needs, if such
|
|
services are covered by a given State's Medicaid program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<a name="tab15"></a>
|
|
<p><a href="atrisktab15.htm">Table 15</a> shows data availability for psychosocial needs.</p>

|
|
<h3><a name="24">2.4. Children</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Children who have significant functional deficits or
|
|
complex medical care and/or psychosocial needs present a slightly different
|
|
situation during an MCE. These children would most certainly be under the care
|
|
and supervision of a parent or adult at all times; thus, they are not as vulnerable
|
|
to lack of a caregiver. However, those children who depend on equipment or medical
|
|
supplies and electricity would be subject to some of the same issues as their
|
|
adult counterparts. Investigators sought databases or surveys that would show
|
|
the number of children who depend on medical equipment or supplies. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The National Survey of Children's Health (2007) provides
|
|
information on children who need/use more medical care or mental health or
|
|
educational services, or are limited in activities compared with other children
|
|
of the same age. It identifies the underlying condition in general terms (e.g.,
|
|
bone, joint or muscle problems or brain injury or concussion), but does not
|
|
indicate the types of equipment/supplies the child may need. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The National Survey of Children with Special Health Care
|
|
Needs (2005-2006) provides information on the demographic characteristics of
|
|
children who have special health care needs and the types of health and support
|
|
services needed. The survey is conducted through telephone interviews in all 50
|
|
States and the District of Columbia. Telephone numbers are dialed at random to
|
|
identify households with children and then the households are screened for
|
|
children who have special health care needs (at least 3,000 households per State
|
|
are screened). Data are available through an online Data Resource Center. Information on the child's condition and need for DME (e.g., wheelchair, hospital bed,
|
|
oxygen tank, and pressure machine), medical supplies, mobility aids, and
|
|
substance abuse treatment or counseling is supplied. Information on the type of
|
|
medical equipment is not specific to those children who depend on medical
|
|
technology, but includes children who used any of the listed medical
|
|
equipment/supplies at any point in the past 12 months. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 1987 and 1990, a statewide census of children who
|
|
depend on medical technology was conducted in Massachusetts to determine the
|
|
size, pattern of distribution, and trends in the population of children who are
|
|
assisted by medical technology (Palfrey et al., 1991 and 1994). An unduplicated
|
|
count of children ages 3 months to 18 years who used one or more of the
|
|
following devices was obtained from medical and educational sources: tracheostomy,
|
|
respirator, oxygen, suctioning, gastrostomy, jejunal or nasogastric feedings, colostomies,
|
|
urethral catheterization, ureteral diversion, intravenous access, or dialysis.
|
|
Using the 1990 U.S. Census figures, the researchers were able to estimate the
|
|
prevalence rate of technological dependency for children in this age range and
|
|
apply this rate to the entire U.S. child population. </p>

<h3><a name="25">2.5. Summary</a></h3>
|
|
<a name="tab16"></a>
|
|
<p>The information from this report is summarized in the
|
|
table below. For each of the at-risk population groups, the data sources were
|
|
reviewed to determine which contain the needed information, are most current,
|
|
and are most readily available. <a href="atrisktab16.htm">Table 16</a> shows the various data sources
|
|
and the groups in the at-risk population that they adequately cover. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In some cases, more than one data source is highlighted.
|
|
In these cases, there would likely be a problem with "double counting" if
|
|
multiple data sources were used to create community-level estimates. For
|
|
example, Medicare claims and OASIS have a considerable degree of overlap; we
|
|
could not simply add the results obtained from these two data sources. For some
|
|
data sets the degree of overlap can be estimated, but this is not always the
|
|
case. For example, it may be difficult to estimate the overlap between NHIS
|
|
data and OASIS data.</p>

<h3><a name="26">2.6.
|
|
Discussion</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>After reviewing all the data sources, investigators were
|
|
able to locate one or more for each of the at-risk population groups of
|
|
concern. However, there does not appear to be one ideal data source for the
|
|
information the investigators were seeking, and some of the better data sources
|
|
omit children. Neither the public use files nor those that require a DUA with
|
|
CMS (as well as analytic file construction and/or payment of a fee) could
|
|
provide information on the at-risk population across all provider and patient
|
|
types. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The public use files (i.e., MassCHIP, SAMHDA, United
|
|
States Renal Data System, American Community Survey), although sufficient for
|
|
certain narrow categories (e.g., dialysis, methadone use, HIV/AIDS patients),
|
|
do not contain a broad enough picture of the other subgroups. OASIS provides
|
|
comparable information on many of the at-risk categories of interest, but the
|
|
population is limited to only those patients who currently receive home care-an
|
|
incidence rather than prevalence measure. The National Home and Hospice Care
|
|
Survey focuses on the services that home health agencies and hospice agencies
|
|
provide and could not be used as a reliable source for information on the
|
|
population of patients receiving home care services. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Medicaid and Medicare claims cover a large population and
|
|
are not limited to those who receive home care services. They are, however,
|
|
limited to low-income individuals or the elderly/disabled populations, and do
|
|
not contain information about most children, or about those whose care is paid
|
|
for by private insurance, self-pay, or is uncompensated. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To understand the size of the populations of concern, and
|
|
how estimates could be assembled from the data sources described above,
|
|
estimates of the at-risk population for one sample city, Worcester, Massachusetts,
|
|
is constructed in <a href="atrisktab17.htm">Table 17</a>. </p>
