Item A Better Life for Low-Income Elders in Austin, PRP 188(LBJ School of Public Affairs, 2016) Angel, JacquelineThis report describes a policy research project conducted in the 2015-16 academic year with support from the St. David’s Foundation and Central Health, and government client the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The study addresses how to care for elderly, vulnerable county residents in the community. As baby boomers approach retirement age nationwide, the share of Austin’s elderly population is growing as well. Austin and Travis County are facing new challenges in providing services to a growing share of frail and disabled older residents. The core objective of this project is to offer options for community-based long- term care in an equitable and cost-effective manner. As part of this objective, the project team examined existing community-based, long-term care and social services programs in Texas and California for dually eligible Medicaid and Medicare enrollees, including Texas’s managed care option, STAR+PLUS, and the Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). PACE provides comprehensive medical care and social services to persons 55 and older who require nursing home care, but prefer to live in the community. The study examines other community-based long-term care alternatives that could be introduced in Austin and the characteristics of what makes PACE and other alternatives work for dual-eligible older persons. The study includes a cost analysis from the perspectives of the state and program provider, an analysis of participant satisfaction in each program, and an in- depth qualitative analysis of the barriers to success for PACE sites in Texas and California. The study also explores ways of leveraging community resources in Austin.Item Ninth Circuit Rules Against PACE Proponents; Texas Bill Shows Way Forward(The Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration, and Environmental Law, 2013-03-22) Brown, JeremyItem Planning Organizations Could Manage Regional PACE Programs(The Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration, and Environmental Law, 2013-07-03) Brown, JeremyItem Pollution Abatement Spending and Corporate Profitability: Texas Manufacturing(Bureau of Business Research, The University of Texas at Austin, 2010-08) Fujii, Hidemichi; Kellison, J. Bruce; Gibson, David V.Manufacturing firms are generally on the front lines of environmental protection because most industrial pollution is a result of manufacturing activity. The problem is that firms do not have strong incentives for pollution abatement because they see it as an additional cost and investment in nonproductive activity. This article focuses on the Texas manufacturing sector, where PACE (pollution abatement costs and expenditures) spending, perhaps surprisingly, led the nation in 2005.Item The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly: A Qualitative Study on Three Sites in a Southwestern State(2017-12) Asher, Lucas; Angel, JacquelineThe PACE program offers an opportunity for states to deliver social and health services to its most vulnerable citizens using a capped number of state and federal funds. In my thesis, I examine whether PACE is an ideal model of care to serve this frail population by comparing and contrasting three operating PACE sites in a Southwestern state.Item Rulings Probably Won’t Affect PACE in Long Run(The Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration, and Environmental Law, 2012-12-06) Brown, Jeremy
