Description
Suzan Ahmad and seven co-authors set out in 2023 to link and tidy Medicare data for research on the syndromes of old age. Conditions like falls, confusion, depression, and incontinence matter hugely to older patients but hide inside scattered records. A 2014 law made standardized assessments from nursing and rehab settings easier to compare with billing data.
The project builds methods to harmonize those sources so researchers can follow whole patients across settings. Assessment files exist for most patients who died, a rich but underused trove. Cleaner linked data should sharpen studies of how these syndromes drive outcomes.
