Krista Harrison Published Paper in Medical Care

Dr. Krista Harrison published a paper in Medical Care entitled "What's Happening at Home: A Claims-based Approach to Better Understand Home Clinical Care Received by Older Adults” with co-author Dr. Christine Ritchie and collaborators at Johns Hopkins and OptumLabs. They used the administrative claims data in the OptumLabs Data Warehouse to describe morbidity profiles, health service use, and care coordination for older adults receiving home clinical care (skilled nursing or therapy visits) and home-based medical care (primary care provider visits to the home). They found 1 in 20 older adults in received home clinical care; 30% or less have a claim for care coordination by their primary care provider.
