Dr. Mor's research focuses on the organizational and health care delivery system factors associated with variation in use of health services, and outcomes experienced by frail and chronically ill persons. Areas of study include: the quality of nursing home care, Medicare funding for post-acute care, the determinants of hospitalization, disease management for cancer patients and age and racial discrimination in health care treatments.

Dr. Mor has been Principal Investigator of over 40+ NIH funded grants focusing on the organizational and health care delivery system factors associated with variation in use of health services and the outcomes frail and chronically ill persons experience. He has had multiple grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Commonwealth Fund, Pew Memorial Trust, the Retirement Research Foundation and the Commonwealth Fund, as well as contracts from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation to evaluate the impact of programs and policies in aging and long term care including Medicare funding of hospice, the costs and benefits of day hospital treatment of cancer, patient outcomes in nursing homes, the impact of short term case management for cancer patients, several studies documenting age discrimination in cancer treatment and use of home care services, and a national study of residential care facilities. Over the past 30 years Dr. Mor's research has frequently integrated quantitative and qualitative data, particularly in program evaluations examining the approaches communities, organizations, and specific providers use to adjust to health policy changes, such as financing and reimbursement, or to the emergence of integrated delivery systems.

Dr. Mor was one of the authors of the Congressionally mandated Minimum Data Set (MDS) for Nursing Home Resident Assessment and evaluated its implementation. Dr. Mor has conducted extensive research on the reliability and validity of the MDS data as used in the field and has pioneered the use of these data to characterize nursing home residents' physical, cognitive, and psycho-social functioning, all of which have been used in resident and facility level analyses of the quality of nursing home care in US and international populations. Dr. Mor directed the Brown University component of a CMS contract to develop and validate risk adjusted quality indicators for nursing homes that are now being used for public reporting of nursing home quality throughout the country.

He recently completed the second 5 years of a MERIT award from NIA for his research on nursing home organizational factors related to facility quality and residents' outcomes and has subsequently received multiple NIA grants to examine the policy and organizational determinants of hospitalization of nursing home residents and other indicators of the quality of care provided. Dr. Mor was the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Investigator award to examine the influence of managed care and integrated delivery systems on the strategic decisions of nursing homes and their quality consequences for residents. Presently, he is examining the effect of state policies and market factors on the quality of care provided nursing home residents, including rehospitalization, merging primary and secondary data from all nursing facilities in the United States. Dr. Mor is seeking to determine whether quality is worse in the states with consistently poor and disjointed long term care policies.

Dr. Mor was a member of the Secretary of HHS's National Committee on Vital and Health Statistics and the Institute of Medicine Committee on Long Term Care Quality. He is a member of the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Health Services Research for the Department of Veteran Affairs. He was Chair of the Long Term Care Interest group of AcademyHealth, seeking to expand that organization's interest in and fostering of research on long term care and is currently Program Chair for the Annual Research Meeting of AcademyHealth in Washington, DC in 2008. He has published over 400 peer reviewed articles and numerous books and book chapters on nursing home quality, hospice, physical functioning, long term care, and cancer treatment patterns among the elderly as well as the organization of AIDS health services. Dr. Mor has published widely on the measurement of quality of life and physical functioning in various chronically ill populations using both previously standardized as well as novel measures of functioning. He has published models pertaining to the measurement of quality in long term care facilities and lectures widely on this topic. He is a fellow of the American Gerontological Society and is on the editorial board of Health Services Research.

2017-2020                                            Co-Investigator. NIA R01 AG054656-01 (Co-PIs: Gozalo, Grabowski). Which Post-Acute Care Setting is Best for Patients' Outcomes? The overarching goal is to examine PAC utilization and patient outcomes across different conditions and PAC settings to address important gaps in knowledge that hinder the design of current policy efforts undertaken under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) like episode-based bundling of payments and the creation of Accountable Care Organizations, aimed at improving the value of post-acute care.

 

2018-2019                                            Co-Investigator. NIA 3R01AG054656-02S1 Administrative Supplement (PI: Gozalo) Which Post-Acute Care Setting is Best for Patients' Outcomes? Post-acute care is widely used and costly. While patients have options for PAC services between different post-acute settings, there is little information on how these alternative post-acute care settings impact outcomes for different patient groups. ADRD patients are a particularly vulnerable group with different PAC needs and at higher risk of long-term institutionalization. The results of our study will help inform the referral of patients in need of PAC, and help guide policy aimed at improving PAC patient outcomes.

 

2018-2019                                            Mentor. AHRQ 1R36HS026447-01(PI: Kosar) Financial Desirability of Nursing Home Patients: Do Low Levels of Medicare Reimbursement Limit Access to High-Quality Post-Acute Care and Impact Outcomes? The objective of this study is to examine whether current Medicare payment policies, which distinguish patients going to nursing homes (NHs) based on the amount of Skilled Nursing Facilty (SNF) revenue they are expected to generate, create barriers to admission to high quality NHs for post-acute patients. Based on recent qualitative evidence showing that high-quality NHs increasingly solicit referrals for the most lucrative post-acute care patients, this study uses a novel strategy to emulate the process of screening patients according to the level of anticipated SNF reimbursement.

I teach two graduate level methods courses. PHP241E examines Medicare Policy changes while offering students the opportunity to work with real Medicare data to test health services questions ranging from the causes of geographic variation in care patterns to whether the "volume-outcome" relationship is generally true.  PHP2019 focuses on approaches to measuring the quality of health care from basic measurement principles to performance measurement and the benefits and potential adverse effects of creating and using composite quality measures.
