Description
Following the path of an older patient through hospitals, nursing homes, rehab, and home care is hard when each setting keeps its own records. Olga Jarrín and co-authors describe, in a 2023 paper, a new database that stitches those records into one timeline. It draws on six Medicare data sources, from hospital claims to home health assessments.
The file sums up, day by day, where each person received care, across eleven settings from inpatient hospice to home. Analysts can roll the daily view up to months, quarters, or years. The team shows the build method on an example cohort. Such timelines can reveal where coordination breaks down in the last years of life and where coordinated care might help.
