Changes in hospital inpatient utilization following health care reform.
The purpose of this retrospective study was to estimate the effects of 2014 Medicaid expansions on inpatient outcomes using population and unemployment data from HCUP鈥檚 State Inpatient Databases. Outcomes included total admissions, referral-sensitive surgical and preventable admissions, length of stay, cost, and severity of patient illness. The authors conclude that Medicaid expansions did not change all-payer admission volumes, but expansions were associated with increased Medicaid and decreased uninsured volumes. The results of the study suggest that previously uninsured persons with a greater need for inpatient services were the most likely to gain coverage.
