Hospitalization experiences in the long-term care trajectories of a Medicaid cohort.
Two groups of applicants (859 screened in the community and 607 screened in acute care) for Medicaid-reimbursed long-term care were followed for 1 year from their initial long-term care assessments. The role hospitalizations play in long-term care trajectories was explored. Results reinforce the need for active partnerships between acute care and long-term care multidisciplinary teams for ongoing management of a large number of Medicaid clients and their families.
