National Home and Hospice Care Survey, 1992 (ICPSR 6536)

Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
The National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS) for 1992 is the first annual survey of home health agencies and hospices and their patients and discharges. The survey was designed to provide information for those who establish standards for, plan, provide, and assess long-term care services, both in the home and in inpatient settings. Data on agency characteristics were obtained through personal interviews with administrators and include the number of home health and hospice patients served in the last 12 months, type of facility ownership (i.e., profit, nonprofit, government, other), Medicare and Medicaid certification, number and type of staff personnel, and the hours they worked. Data on a sample of patients currently receiving home health and hospice care as well as a sample of discharges were obtained by interviewing staff people most familiar with the care provided to these patients. Respondents were requested to refer to medical or other records whenever necessary. No patient was interviewed directly. Information for patients currently receiving services and discharged patients includes service provided and provider type, type of residence, referral source, medical diagnosis, type of care (home health or hospice), type of aids used (eyeglasses, dentures, walker, cane, oxygen, hospital bed, etc.), daily living activities that required assistance, and billing charges and expected payment source(s). The discharge diagnosis for discharged patients was also recorded. Demographic variables for both types of patients include sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, and marital status.

National Home and Hospice Care Survey, 2007 (ICPSR 28961)

Released/updated on: 2010-09-01
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2007-08-01--2008-02-01, 2007-09-01--2008-04-01

The National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS) was reintroduced into the field in 2007 after a 7-year break. During that time, the survey was redesigned and expanded to include a computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) system, many new data items, and larger sample sizes of current home health patients and hospice discharges. All agencies that participated in the survey were either certified by Medicare and/or Medicaid or were licensed by a state to provide home health and/or hospice services and currently or recently served home health and/or hospice patients. Agencies that provided only homemaker services or housekeeping services, assistance with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), or durable medical equipment and supplies were excluded from the survey. The 2007 NHHCS included a supplemental survey of home health aides employed by home health and/or hospice agencies, called the National Home Health Aide Survey (NHHAS). The 2007 NHHCS data were collected through in-person interviews with agency directors and their designated staffs; no interviews were conducted directly with patients or their families and/or friends. Agency data collected, available in agency administrative records, included information on the year an agency was established, the types of services an agency provided, referral sources, specialty programs, and staffing characteristics. Data collected on home health patients and hospice discharges, available in medical records, included age, sex, race and ethnicity, services received, length of time since admission, diagnoses, medications taken, advance directives, and many other items.

The National Home Health Aide Survey (NHHAS), the first national probability survey of home health aides, was designed to provide national estimates of home health aides employed by agencies that provide home health and/or hospice care. The NHHAS survey instrument included sections on recruitment, training, job history, family life, management and supervision, client relations, organizational commitment and job satisfaction, workplace environment, work-related injuries, and demographics.

Released/updated on: 1992-02-17
Geographic coverage: United States
The 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) Public Use Tape 8 contains full-year data from the Baseline Questionnaire of the Institutional Population Component. It updates data in the January 1, 1987, Resident File of Public Use Tape 2, NATIONAL MEDICAL EXPENDITURE SURVEY, 1987: INSTITUTIONAL POPULATION COMPONENT (ICPSR 9280), with the addition of data on admissions to the facilities throughout 1987, as well as a revised sampling weight that adjusts for sampling frame duplication between the two kinds of facilities. The Baseline Questionnaire was administered to the sample residents' primary caregiver(s) in the facility. Other information on the sample residents' health and living experiences was gathered from next-of-kin, case managers, or other staff members. The items covered include residence history for up to five previous admissions, demographic characteristics and family composition of the sampled residents, health and functional status, medical conditions from the medical records, information on facility respondents, and, for the mentally retarded aged 18 and over, employment and training history.

National Medical Expenditure Survey, 1987: Institutional Population Component, Personal History Questionnaire for Residents of Nursing and Personal Care Homes and End-of-Year Questionnaire for Residents of Nursing and Personal Care Homes and Facilities for Persons With Mental Retardation [Research File 19r] (ICPSR 6632)

Released/updated on: 2006-03-30
Geographic coverage: United States
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 19R provides information collected from two IPC questionnaires, the Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ) and the End-of-Year Questionnaire (EYQ). The PHQ was administered once as part of the surveys of next-of-kin. These data are primarily concerned with the characteristics of the sample person just prior to admission. The EYQ was administered once in either the surveys of next-of-kin or the surveys of institutions and focuses on health status. Research File 19R also includes items from the Baseline Questionnaire and the Baseline Questionnaire Supplement. Data from these questionnaires were released on NMES Public Use Tapes 8, 17, and 22R (ICPSR 9677, 6158, and 6467). Part 1 of this collection, Summary Data, includes demographic characteristics such as age, race, sex, date of admission to sampled facility, and vital status. Part 2, 1987 Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ) Data, supplies information on condition prior to admission to facility, chronic disease history, whether respondent needed help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and/or instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), usage of assistive technology, and behavioral history. Part 3, End-of-Year Questionnaire (EYQ) Data, includes characteristics of the sample person, limitations and help with ADLs and IADLs, health and behavioral history, and condition codes reported by either the respondent or the facility medical records.

Through interviews with staff persons, current residents provided information on their age, race, marital status, level of care, and use of aids such as walkers, hearing aids, and crutches. These data are contained in Part 2, Current Resident Questionnaire Data. Financial data for facilities in Part 3, Expense Questionnaire Data, were supplied by accountants and bookkeepers using self-enumerated questionnaires pertaining to payroll expenses, drug costs, total revenues, and Medicare/Medicaid payments.
