  • Redesign of an Electronic Clinical Reminder to Prevent Falls in Older Adults

    Gwendolyn V Spears, Carol P Roth et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 14

    BACKGROUND: Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injury among US older adults. Guidelines recommend screening patients for fall risk, and providing exercise for patients with gait and balance problems. We redesigned an electronic clinical reminder to improve identification and management of Veterans at high risk for falls, and piloted the reminder in 3 Veterans Health Administration community-based outpatient clinics. METHODS: This projec…

  • Is Patient-Perceived Severity of a Geriatric Condition Related to Better Quality of Care

    Lillian C Min, Lillian Min et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2011References: 46

    BACKGROUND: Care for falls and urinary incontinence (UI) among older patients is inadequate. One possible explanation is that physicians provide less recommended care to patients who are not as concerned about their falls and UI. OBJECTIVE: To test whether patient-reported severity for 2 geriatric conditions, falls, and UI, is associated with quality of care. RESEARCH DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of elders with falls and/or fear of falling (n…

    BACKGROUND: Older patients with multiple chronic conditions may be at higher risk of receiving poorer overall quality of care compared with those with single or no chronic conditions. Possible reasons include competing guidelines for individual conditions, burden of numerous recommendations, and difficulty implementing treatments for multiple conditions. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether coexisting combinations of 8 common chronic condit…

  • The Effect of a Quality Improvement Initiative on the Quality of Other Aspects of Health Care

    David A Ganz, Neil Wenger et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007References: 20

    PROBLEM: Policymakers and clinicians are concerned that initiatives to improve the quality of care for some conditions may have unintended negative consequences for quality in other conditions. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether a practice redesign intervention that improved care for falls, incontinence, and cognitive impairment by an absolute 15% change also affected quality of care for masked conditions (conditions not targeted by the in…

  • Comparison of Administrative Data and Medical Records to Measure the Quality of Medical Care Provided to Vulnerable Older Patients

    Catherine H MacLean, Rachel Louie et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006References: 21

    BACKGROUND: Administrative data are used to determine performance for publicly reported in health plan "report cards," accreditation status, and reimbursement. However, it is unclear how performance based on administrative data and medical records compare. METHODS: We compared applicability, eligibility, and performance on 182 measures of health care quality using medical records and administrative data during a 13-month period for a random sampl…

  • Hospital Readmissions and Quality of Care

    Joel S Weissman, John Z Ayanian et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1999References: 32

    BACKGROUND: Readmission rates are often proposed as markers for quality of care. However, a consistent link between readmissions and quality has not been established. OBJECTIVE: To test the relation of readmission to quality and the utility of readmissions as hospital quality measures. SUBJECTS: One thousand, seven hundred and fifty-eight Medicare patients hospitalized in four states between 1991 to 1992 with pneumonia or congestive heart failure…
