Summary View help for Summary
The National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) series provides information on health expenditures by or on behalf of families and individuals, the financing of these expenditures, and each person's use of services. The Institutional Population Component (IPC) is a survey of nursing and personal care homes and facilities for the mentally retarded and residents admitted to those facilities. Information was collected on facilities and their residents at several points during 1987. Use and expenditure estimates for institutionalized persons can be combined with those from the Household component for composite estimates covering most of the civilian population. Information on facilities and residents was collected from facility administrators and caregivers, with additional information collected from next of kin or other knowledgeable respondents. These data were supplemented by Medicare claims information for covered sample persons. Research File 28R provides information collected in the Institutional Use and Expenditure Questionnaire (IUEQ) regarding health care providers, including Medicaid providers. The IUEQ was administered during each round of the IPC to eligible facilities in which sample persons had one or more stays. Part 1, Summary Data, includes demographic characteristics such as age, race, sex, date of admission to sampled facility, and vital status. Part 2, IUEQ Administration and Medical Provider Probes Data, supplies information on what types of medical providers were seen, frequency of any private duty nursing or attendant care services received, and whether the provider of that service was an employee or contractor of the facility, as well as frequency of emergency room and outpatient department visits. Part 3, Medical Provider Utilization Data, includes information about the type of provider, the number of times the provider was seen in total and the number of times in the facility, the number of times the sample person was seen by a provider paid by the facility, and whether that provider was an employee or a contractor of the facility.

(1) NMES research files are intended for users who are familiar with NMES public use files and have experience analyzing complex survey data. This data collection has not been subjected to the same level of editing and quality control as the NMES public use files. These data should be analyzed and interpreted with care. Data from Sections E and F of the IUEQ, containing information on health insurance coverage and charges and sources of payment, were included in NMES Public Use Tape 17 (ICPSR 6158) and Research File 22R (ICPSR 6467). The data files can be linked to each other and to all other public use datasets from the 1987 Institutional Population Component by using the person identifier (SPERIDX) and the facility identifier (OFIDX).
Sample View help for Sample
The NMES Institutional Population Component sample was based on a two-stage probability design with facilities selected in the first stage and persons within facilities in the second stage. Three strata were used for the facility sample: nursing and personal care homes with three or more beds, intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded with 3-15 beds, and all remaining facilities for the mentally retarded with more than 15 beds. A total of 810 nursing and personal care homes and 691 facilities for the mentally retarded were sampled.
