Who uses decision aids? Subgroup analyses from a randomized controlled effectiveness trial of two prostate cancer screening decision support interventions
Objective To examine who reported using unsolicited prostate cancer screening decision aids distributed as part of a randomized controlled trial, whether reported use varied by type of aid (video or pamphlet), and what affect reported use had on study outcomes. Methods A total of 1152 men aged 50 and older from four medical facilities in the United States were randomly assigned to pamphlet, video or usual care (control). Materials were mailed 2 w…

Through the Lenses of Organizational Sociology
This paper reviews various theoretical perspectives on organizational change which have been and could be applied to medical organizations. These perspectives are discussed as both filters influencing our observations (research) and mirrors of the shifting dynamics of delivery system reform (policy). We conclude with an examination of how such theories can provide useful insights into our rapidly changing health care system
The Role of Expectations in Patients?? Reports of Post-Operative Outcomes and Improvement Following Therapy
Outcomes research typically focuses on the technical capabilities associated with treatment that predicts patients' post-therapy outcomes adjusting for health-related factors. Research on the ability of placebo therapy to alter outcomes suggests that a patient's expectations about therapy can also influence outcomes. Few studies have examined the effects of expectations and their implications for assessing outcomes. This study followed 348 patien…

Relationship Between Patient Race and the Intensity of Hospital Services
This study reviews evidence on whether services in United States hospitals vary by racial groupings of patients. The focus is on both equity and quality of hospital services. Patients with the diagnosis of pneumonia were studied at 16 randomly selected hospitals. The services and outcomes studied include five measures of the intensity of diagnostic and therapeutic services received by patients, and death rates during hospitalization. Multiple reg…
Does Practice Make Perfect
The effect of a greater volume of patients with similar conditions being treated at a hospital on the outcomes achieved is investigated for almost 500,000 selected surgical and medical patients treated in over 1,200 nonfederal United States hospitals. In Part I the authors found strong and consistent evidence for surgical patients that high volume is associated with better outcome; evidence for medical patients was mixed. In this paper the author…
Does Practice Make Perfect
The effect of a greater volume of patients with similar conditions being treated at a hospital on the outcomes achieved is studied using a variety of categories of patients, 15 surgical and 2 medical, and involving 550,000 patients treated in over 1,200 nonfederal United States acute care hospitals. After demonstrating that there are significant differences in the outcomes of patients, taking into account patient health status, the authors examin…
Measuring the Complexity and Uncertainty of Surgery and Postsurgical Care
This article reports the results of a survey of a nationwide sample of more than 900 surgeons and post-surgical nurses, who were asked to rate the relative complexity and uncertainty of 71 surgical procedures frequently performed in hospitals. Average scores assigned to each surgical procedure by both types of raters are reported and the extent of agreement is assessed across indicator questions and types of raters. A surprisingly high level of a…
The Relationship Between Intensity and Duration of Medical Services and Outcomes for Hospitalized Patients
Much recent research on the delivery of care in health care systems has concentrated on the issues of cost containment and assurance of quality care. The research reported here is part of a larger study examining the organizational and contextual determinants of service intensity and duration, costs, and quality of outcomes for hospitalized patients in a stratified random sample of short-term hospitals in the United States. The focus of this pape…
