3 3 Analysis of Emergency Department Utilization by Elderly Patients under National Health Insurance

4 Introduction It is projected that by 2011, 10% of the total population will be over the age of 65 years Elderly persons are thought to use emergency departments (EDs) disproportionately While there is an increasing demand for emergency medical services by elderly persons, we still know little about the specifics of the use of emergency medical care by elderly patients in Taiwan 4

5 研究問題 老人急診醫療服務利用的特性為何? 老人 (65 歲以上 ) 與非老人 ( 年輕的成人,15-64 歲 ) 對於急診醫療服務利用是否有差異? 5

14 Conclusion ED utilization by the elderly differs significantly from that of younger adults. Elderly patients present to the ED more frequently than their proportion of the population The elderly seeking emergency care have a higher level of acuity, spend more time in the ED and use more ED resources than the non-elderly. The principle diagnoses are strikingly different between elderly and non-elderly patients 14

15 15 Exploring Medical Utilization Patterns of Emergency Department Users

16 Introduction NHI in Taiwan covers 99% of citizens and is contracted with 91.86% of medical institutions Frequent ED users still comprise 3.5% of the total number of ED patients. Frequent ED users might have a regular source of care but prefer to use the ED 16 Frequent ED users were more likely to visit primary physicians, visit the OPD, and be admitted to the hospital; that is, frequent use of the hospital ED is an indicator of high use of other health care services(hansagi et al., 2001; Huang et al., 2003).

17 Introduction The past literature cannot provide a complete picture of the comprehensive utilization patterns of ED patients 17

18 研究問題 急診醫療服務利用和醫院門診醫療 醫院住院醫療以及基層醫療照護服務利用之間, 是否存在某種關係? 經常利用急診醫療者的固定就醫場所是否只有急診部門? 抑或他們也高度利用了其它醫療服務? 急診醫療服務使用者是否有不同的醫療利用型態? 18

20 Methods Subjects: A total of 6,775 ED users Patients were categorized into four ED E1=1 ED visit, E2=2 ED visits, E3=3 ED visits, and E4=4 or more ED visits. ED class E4 is the so-called frequent ED users class. High health care use was dichotomized arbitrarily on the basis of the 75th percentile as follows: 11 or more hospital OPD visits 1 or more hospital admissions 13 or more physician visits in primary care 20

28 Conclusion Frequent ED users did not lack a regular source of primary care, nor did they identify the ED as regular source of care Frequent ED users were also high users of other health care services Frequent ED users were about 10 times more likely to be high users of hospital OPD services ( 11 visits), five times more likely to receive in-hospital care, and 1.5 times more likely to be high users of primary care ( 13 visits) (reference group: 1 ED visit). 28

29 Conclusion There is an intercategory relationship between emergency medical services and other medical services ED users have four distinctive medical utilization patterns: low health care users, hospital fans, primary care favorers, and high health care users 29

30 全民健康保險資料庫的特點 就醫資訊 30

31 全民健康保險資料庫的限制 以健保申報為主的資料庫 申報資料品質大不同 與臨床資訊未必一致, 應用於 outcome research 時較為受限 人口學或社經資訊較甚為缺乏 僅能呈現醫療利用型態, 無法顯示病患在醫療決策或利用過程中的動機 偏好等心理資訊 未包含非健保特約的醫事機構與未納保的民眾 31

32 全民健康保險資料庫的限制 申報金額非 醫事機構醫療成本 用於醫事機構營運分析之研究較為受限 加密資料, 無法與外部其他資料庫串檔 二代加密後更加困難 32

33 對未來研究者的建議 創意研究主題更勝艱深統計分析 方向明確, 才不會迷路 妥善清檔再分析, 避免一直做白工 醫療與管理專業的結合," 質 量 " 皆可提升 實務現況多了解, 資料使用才正確 33
