| Annotation | The implementation of pre-admission screening (PAS) programmes for nursing home applicants is one of several strategies states in the US have used to control nursing home utilisation and expenditures. This study examined the structure and implementation of PAS programmes for nursing home applicants from 1978 to 1995 in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Twenty-six states had implemented these programmes by 1994, with the most growth taking place during the 1980s. The primary changes in programme structure were an increased reliance on private providers to screen a subset of applicants and a higher percentage of states screening private pay applicants. All programmes but one referred or authorised the use of community-based services, while most programmes diverted well over 10% of nursing home applicants. (AKM). |
