项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Universal Health Insurance and the Adequacy and Efficiency of Health Care This project will use comparisons between people just under and just over age 65 to measure how the availability of nearly universal health insurance for those over 65 affects the use of primary care versus Emergency Department services; the quality of health care services provided outside the hospital, and the treatment intensity and health outcomes of people admitted to the hospital for acute myocardial infarction. The results from this project will be directly policy-relevant as they will help to quantify the effects of insurance coverage (or lack of coverage) on the efficiency and efficacy of the health care delivery system for older adults. They will also provide valuable information for evaluating the costs of extending health insurance coverage to previously uncovered individuals. The findings will also provide new insights into the disparities in treatment of acute myocardial infarction patients across different patient groups, and how these disparities affect the health of these groups.

描述（由申请人提供）：通用健康保险以及医疗保健的适当性和效率该项目将使用少于65岁以下的人们之间的比较，以衡量65岁以上的人的可用性几乎是普遍的健康保险，从而如何影响使用初级保健与紧急部门服务；医疗保健服务的质量提供了医院外部的质量，以及被送往医院急性心肌梗塞的人们的治疗强度和健康结果。该项目的结果将直接与政策相关，因为它们将有助于量化保险范围（或缺乏覆盖范围）对老年人医疗保健提供系统效率和功效的影响。他们还将提供有价值的信息，以评估将健康保险范围扩展到以前发现的个人的成本。这些发现还将为不同患者群体的急性心肌梗死患者的差异提供新的见解，以及这些差异如何影响这些群体的健康。
