Brief Summary:
Disease management is used to manage patients who have asthma and who are enrolled in a managed care health plan To understand the effect of disease management on asthma severity and utilization the investigators at Childrens Mercy Hospitals and Clinics will review data from a Medicaid Health Maintenance Organization HMO to determine the number of health plan members with different asthma severities and what their outcomes are This will help us to improve the service provided to these patients The investigators wish to publish this so that other health plans can benefit from the investigators experience
Detailed Description:
Disease management is used to manage patients who have asthma and who are enrolled in a managed care health plan To understand the effect of disease management on asthma severity and utilization we will review data from a Medicaid HMO to determine the number of health plan members with different asthma severities and what their outcomes are This will help us to improve the service provided to these patients
Data on subjects already exists in the Health Management database We will use data that has been collected between January 1 2000 and August 18 2005 We will use a convenience sample consisting of available subjects meeting the program criteria The total FHP database includes approximately 50000 members from which approximately 6000 have been identified as having asthma
We will create a research database that will not contain any patient-specific data Instead an intermediate workstation will be programmed to query the health management database and send the resulting aggregated and de-identified data to the research database for analysis on another workstation The research database will never contain any patient identifiers nor will it contain individual patient data It only will contain aggregated data provided by the intermediate query workstation
Here is a complete list of variables that will be housed in the research database for subsequent analysis
Categorical variables Asthma severity intermittent mild moderate or severe persistent Provider office Quarter when seen Medication type controller or reliever Age category 0-4 5-9 10-17 17years active status active or inactive Location ER Inpatient Routine visit Case managed yes no Gender Psychosocial issues Diagnosis asthma not asthma
Continuous variables Cost of care Number of visits Number of prescriptions Number of members in the above categories Mean Quality of life
