- Title
Response to "Relationships between Acute and Postacute Care Providers: Measurement and Estimation".
- Authors
Graham, James E.
- Abstract
The author assesses inpatient service continuity based on referral patterns between hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. The author acknowledges that the assessment process may suffer from selection bias, but asserts that unmeasured factors have been discussed in the limitations section of the report. He also states that he agrees with comments that associations are not enough to inform health care delivery and policy and mixed-method studies are needed to better understand continuity.
