Bay Area Health Task Force Small Employers' Health Insurance Helpline Database, 1989-1992 (ICPSR 6112)
Released/updated on: 2008-06-02
Geographic coverage: San Francisco, United States, California
Time period: 1989-01-01--1992-01-01
The mission of the Bay Area Health Task Force (BAHTF) was to address the issues and problems of the growing number of people who were uninsured for health care. With the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, BAHTF established the Health Insurance Helpline, which provided health insurance information and referrals for small businesses. This data collection was produced in order to evaluate this Helpline. The data collection consists of four sets of data, one from each year that the Helpline service was offered (1989 through 1992). The unit of analysis is calls received by the Helpline, which were categorized by the type of caller (business, individual, other) and type of service received (broker referral, guidebook only, other). Callers were generally categorized as insured businesses, uninsured businesses, insured individuals, or uninsured individuals. (The category "other" was left for callers who could not be clearly classified as business or individual callers.) A follow-up was conducted for over a quarter of the callers to obtain feedback about the program. Callers provided information concerning their reason for calling, the number of employees they had working full-time, the nature of their business firm, whether the business firm offered health insurance, and which plan they offered.

Creating a Patient Registry to Facilitate Data Sharing and Encourage Patient-Centered Approaches to Improving Health and Lowering Costs, 2013 (ICPSR 35570)
Released/updated on: 2016-10-05
Geographic coverage: United States, Cincinnati, Ohio
Time period: 2013-09-01--2013-12-01
This interventional pilot study was conducted in a primary care clinic to determine if patients would become more engaged in their own health and ask more questions of their physicians if they were provided data about patients similar to themselves. The study was conducted with 150 patients with a diagnosis of hypertension who had scheduled appointments with one of three participating physicians in the clinic. When they arrived at the clinic for their appointment, the patients were shown de-identified clinical data about similar patients with hypertension on a computer screen, given a printout of this information, and then proceeded to visit their physician. After the physician visit the patients completed a short survey. Their answers to the survey questions are recorded in the data file together with additional information about them, such as age, gender, race, smoking status and comorbidities.
The three participating physicians completed a short survey at the end of the study. The results of that survey are summarized in a table provided with the technical documentation.

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1988-04-01--1991-12-01
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on physician behavior of decreases in Medicare payment rates for surgical procedures. The study examined the volume of services provided, billed charges, and the selection of diagnostic or therapeutic alternative procedures, or clinically unrelated procedures, for Medicare and privately-insured patients. Also studied were the proportion of physician income derived from Medicare and the profitability of procedures as they related to the volume of services provided. This data collection comprises observations for 21 surgical procedure groups in the specialty areas of general surgery, gastroenterology, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology, urology, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, and cardiology, from up to 187 hospitals and for up to 15 quarters. Efforts were made to include high volume and expensive procedures. Excluded were radiology, pathology, or other lab procedures, and procedures that had experienced erratic changes in volume due to changes in technology or changes in national standards. Also included in this collection are hospital characteristics and county-level data pertaining to number of hospital beds, per capita income, licensed practical nurse and registered nurse wages, doctors per 1000 population, and health maintenance organization enrollees per 1000 population.
