Geriatric Home Care Utilization: San Francisco, 1968-1975 (ICPSR 7853)
Released/updated on: 2006-03-30
Geographic coverage: San Francisco, United States, California
Time period: 1968-01-01--1975-01-01
This data collection reported on geriatric clients served by San Francisco Home Health Services, Inc. (SFHHS) between 1968 and 1975. The study was designed to document and analyze the natural history of home care service use from entry to exit, noting what types of users were in a home care agency's program and how intensively services were utilized. The study also identified outcome categories useful for response to public policy questions on the effectiveness of various service types in meeting geriatric needs. Also examined was the relationship of home care use to nursing home entry, and to the need for other services. In Part 1, data for 2,435 clients were gathered from case records at SFHHS. Variables used in the analysis include entry characteristics (e.g, age, sex, condition, living arrangement, and contextual variables such as referral source, prior source of care, and payment type), duration, intensity, and type of service utilization, as well as discharge or exit status. Some of these are calculated variables derived from each case's accumulated monthly service records (found in their raw form in Part 2). Part 2 contains 35,729 client monthly service records, which are distributed as raw data as received from SFHHS. Variables include billing date, pay plan, and frequency and intensity of assistance.

Master Facility Inventory: Nursing Homes and Other Health Care Facilities, 1976 (ICPSR 7631)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
The Master Facility Inventory data collection provides a comprehensive list of nursing, personal care, and domiciliary care facilities in the United States in 1976. The criteria for inclusion were that a facility provided medical, nursing, personal, or custodial care to groups of unrelated persons on an inpatient basis. The survey was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics in order to update its Master Facility Inventory on the number and kinds of such facilities in the United States and the changes to the list since the last MFI survey. Information gathered is for the previous calendar year and includes facility identification information, ownership and type of facility, capacity and type of beds (i.e., total beds set up and staffed for use and number of beds certified by Medicare or Medicaid as skilled and intermediate), acceptance criteria, and total number of male and female residents (or patients) for 26,748 institutions.
