    Abstract Quality of care systematically decreases over the course of the day. Ensuring that patients seen later in the day receive the same care as patients seen first thing in the morning has broad clinical and economic implications for our health care system. In this article, we outline feasible near-term solutions to direct clinicians and patients toward consistently better primary care decisions, throughout the day. These insights could be adapted to address similar challenges in other health care settings.

    Abstract Introduction/objectives: In 2018, a Medicaid managed care plan launched a new community health worker (CHW) initiative in several counties within a state, designed to improve the health and quality of life of members who could benefit from additional services. The CHW program involved telephonic and face-to-face visits from CHWs who provided support, empowerment, and education to members, while identifying and addressing health and social issues. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a generalized (not disease-specific), health plan-led CHW program on overall healthcare use and spending.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from adult members who received the CHW intervention (N = 538 participants) compared to those who were identified for participation but were unable to be reached (N = 435 nonparticipants). Outcomes measures included healthcare utilization, including scheduled and emergency inpatient admissions, emergency department (ED) visits, and outpatient visits; and healthcare spending. The follow-up period for all outcome measures was 6 months. Using generalized linear models, 6-month change scores were regressed on baseline characteristics to adjust for between-group differences (eg, age, sex, comorbidities) and an indicator for group.
    Results: Program participants experienced a greater increase in outpatient evaluation and management visits (0.09 per member per month [PMPM]) than the comparison group during the first 6 months of the program. This greater increase was observed across in-person (0.07 PMPM), telehealth (0.03 PMPM), and primary care (0.06 PMPM) visits. There was no observed difference in inpatient admissions, ED utilization or allowed medical spending and pharmacy spending.
    Conclusions: A health plan-led CHW program successfully increased multiple forms of outpatient utilization in a historically disadvantaged population of patients. Health plans may be particularly well positioned to finance, sustain, and scale programs that address social drivers of health.

    Abstract Background: Medical care overuse is a significant source of patient harm and wasteful spending. Understanding the drivers of overuse is essential to the design of effective interventions.
    Objective: We tested the association between structural factors of the health care delivery system and regional differences systemic overuse.
    Research design: We conducted a retrospective analysis of deidentified claims for 18- to 64-year-old adults from the IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database. We calculated a semiannual Johns Hopkins Overuse Index for each of the 375 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, from January 2011 to June 2015. We fit an ordinary least squares regression to model the Johns Hopkins Overuse Index as a function of regional characteristics of the health care system, adjusted for confounders and time.
    Results: The supply of regional health care resources was associated with systemic overuse in commercially insured beneficiaries. Regional characteristics associated with systemic overuse included number of physicians per 1000 residents (P=0.001) and higher Medicare malpractice geographic price cost index (P<0.001). Regions with a higher density of primary care physicians (P=0.008) and a higher proportion of hospital-based providers (P=0.016) had less systemic overuse. Differences in hospital and insurer market power were inversely associated with systemic overuse.
    Conclusions: Systemic overuse is associated with observable, structural characteristics of the regional health care system. These findings suggest that interventions that aim to improve care efficiency via reductions in overuse should focus on the structural drivers of this phenomenon, rather than on the eradication of individual overused procedures.

    Abstract Background: Medical overuse is a leading contributor to the high cost of the US health care system and is a definitive misuse of resources. Elimination of overuse could improve health care efficiency. In 2014, the State of Maryland placed the majority of its hospitals under an all-payer, annual, global budget for inpatient and outpatient hospital services. This program aims to control hospital use and spending.
    Objective: To assess whether the Maryland global budget program was associated with a reduction in the broad overuse of health care services.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of deidentified claims for 18-64 year old adults from the IBM MarketScan® Commercial Claims and Encounters Database. We matched 2 Maryland Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) to 6 out-of-state comparison MSAs. In a difference-in-differences analysis, we compared changes in systemic overuse in Maryland vs the comparison MSAs before (2011-2013) and after implementation (2014-2015) of the global budget program. Systemic overuse was measured using a semiannual Johns Hopkins Overuse Index.
    Results: Global budgets were not associated with a reduction in systemic overuse. Over the first 1.5 years of the program, we estimated a nonsignificant differential change of -0.002 points (95%CI, -0.372 to 0.369; p = 0.993) relative to the comparison group. This result was robust to multiple model assumptions and sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusions: We did not find evidence that Maryland hospitals met their revenue targets by reducing systemic overuse. Global budgets alone may be too blunt of an instrument to selectively reduce low-value care.

    Abstract Background: Overuse is a leading contributor to the high cost of health care in the United States. Overuse harms patients and is a definitive waste of resources. The Johns Hopkins Overuse Index (JHOI) is a normalized measure of systemic health care services overuse, generated from claims data, that has been used to describe overuse in Medicare beneficiaries and to understand drivers of overuse. We aimed to adapt the JHOI for application to a commercially insured US population, to examine geographic variation in systemic overuse in this population, and to analyze trends over time to inform whether systemic overuse is an enduring problem.
    Methods: We analyzed commercial insurance claims from 18 to 64 year old beneficiaries. We calculated a semiannual JHOI for each of the 375 Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 47 rural regions of the US. We generated maps to examine geographic variation and then analyzed each region's change in their JHOI quintile from January 2011 to June 2015.
    Results: The JHOI varied markedly across the US. Across the country, rural regions tended to have less systemic overuse than their MSA counterparts (p < 0.01). Regional systemic overuse is positively correlated from one time period to the next (p < 0.001). Between 2011 and 2015, 53.7% (N = 226) of regions remained in the same quintile of the JHOI. Eighty of these regions had a persistently high or persistently low JHOI throughout study duration.
    Conclusions: The systemic overuse of health care resources is an enduring, regional problem. Areas identified as having a persistently high rate of systemic overuse merit further investigation to understand drivers and potential points of intervention.
