GOLTC: To Stay or to Go: Institutional vs Home-based Long-Term Care

GOLTC Quasi-Experimental Methods Interest Group webinar
Date: 23 July 2024
Time: 1pm BST

As populations age, a key question is whether institutional or home-based care better serves long-term care (LTC) recipients' health needs. Using administrative data from 2009-2014 from Spain, the authors compare changes in hospitalization rates between nursing home and home-based LTC recipients. A difference-in-differences approach estimates the causal effect of care setting on scheduled and emergency hospitalizations, especially for nursing home avoidable conditions.
