Special Needs Plans' Impact on Dementia Care Outcomes

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this retrospective cohort study, Institutional Special Needs Plan (I-SNP) enrollment was associated with significantly fewer hospitalizations for nursing home residents with dementia at the end of life, with effect sizes larger for UnitedHealthcare (UHC) vs non-UHC I-SNPs. Plan maturity and volume are likely important factors impacting success.
