ABSTRACT
This study reports on the effect of home-based mental health treatment following psychiatric hospitalization on ambulatory follow-up rates and readmission rates in a Medicaid managed care population. Logistic regression models were used to predict the odds of ambulatory treatment after hospitalization and to predict rehospitalization. A consumer who received in-home treatment was 22 times more likely to follow-through with aftercare treatment of more than one visit than were those who did not receive in-home treatment. However, in-home treatment, age, gender, and previous hospitalization did not significantly predict the odds of rehospitalization. While home-based services did not reduce the incidence of rehospitalization, providing services within the home has the potential to increase attendance in aftercare services by Medicaid managed care recipients.
