Abstract
This study explores the differences in patient characteristics, home health service use, and discharge outcomes between Asian/Pacific Islanders (API) (n = 408) and White elderly home health care patients (n = 2,480) with a primary diagnosis of diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular disease. Outcomes Assessment Information Set and administrative data from a large urban home health agency located in the Northeast were used for analyses. Overall, API elders were more likely to be dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid; entered with greater dependencies; and received more home health aide services than White elders. However, White elders reported greater anxiety and were more likely to live alone.
