まとめ
メディケア・アドバンテージ (MA) プランは,COVID-19 パンデミックの間,従来のメディケア (TM) よりも優れた臨床品質を維持しました. 直接の検診は減少したが,特にMA登録者にとって,薬の服用順番は改善した.
科学分野:
- 医療サービス研究
- 公衆衛生
- 流行病学について
背景:
- COVID-19 パンデミックは,医療の提供と品質のモニタリングを大幅に妨げました.
- この期間のメディケア・アドバンテージ (MA) と従来のメディケア (TM) の比較パフォーマンスを理解することは,政策と患者ケアにとって極めて重要です.
- スクリーニングと薬剤管理を含むケア品質の指標は,計画のパフォーマンスを評価するために評価されました.
研究 の 目的:
- メディケア・アドバンテージ (MA) プランと従来のメディケア (TM) プランで受益者に提供される医療の質に対するCOVID-19の影響を比較する.
- 流行前 (2019年) と流行 (2021年) の間の特定の臨床品質測定値の変化をMAとTMの登録者について分析する.
- 個別検診や薬の服用の順守など,さまざまな種類の品質測定法に対するパンデミックの差異的な影響を特定する.
主な方法:
- 遡及的なコホート研究が採用された.
- 2017年から2021年の間に登録されたメディケアの受給者を分析し,2019年 (パンデミック前) と2021年 (パンデミック前) のコホートを形成しました.
- 4つのスクリーニング対策と8つの薬剤管理/順守対策を含む12の臨床品質対策が評価されました.
主要な成果:
- この分析には319万人を超える受益者が含まれていた.
- メディケア・アドバンテージ・プランは,2019年と2021年の2つの品質基準において,従来のメディケアよりも有意に優れたパフォーマンスを示しました.
- MAとTMの両方では,パンデミックの間,個人でのスクリーニング率が低下し,MAはわずかに減少した. しかし,薬の管理と遵守の対策は,特にMAプランでは改善されました.
結論:
- メディケアのアドバンテージプランは,COVID-19のパンデミック期間中,従来のメディケアの臨床品質を一貫して上回りました.
- 個人のケアに影響を与えるパンデミック関連の課題にもかかわらず,MA計画は回復力を示し,医薬品関連の品質指標の改善を示しました.
- この調査結果は,公衆衛生危機下でも,MAプランがより堅固な医療の質の枠組みを提供することを示唆しています.

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
