Harmonizing Qualitative Data Across Multiple Health Systems to Identify Quality Improvement Interventions
Background: Heterogeneity in healthcare systems' organizational structures, policies and decisions influences practice implementation and care delivery. While quantitative data harmonization has been used to compare outcomes, few have conducted cross-site qualitative inquiry of healthcare delivery; thus, little is known about how to harmonize qualitative data across multiple settings. Objective: We illustrate a methodological approach for a theor…

Accuracy and Complexities of Using Automated Clinical Data for Capturing Chemotherapy Administrations
BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy data are important to almost any study on cancer prognosis and outcomes. However, chemotherapy data obtained from tumor registries may be incomplete, and abstracting chemotherapy directly from medical records can be expensive and time consuming. METHODS: We evaluated the accuracy of using automated clinical data to capture chemotherapy administrations in a cohort of 757 ovarian cancer patients enrolled in 7 health plans i…

We are grateful for Baker’s letter and the opportunity to reply. In our article we focused on the relative (not absolute) size of health care disparities in New Zealand and the United States between the indigenous populations and the numerically dominant populations. Although Baker is correct in pointing out that infant mortality, male life expectancy, and homicide rates are worse in the United States, the disparities between Maoris and Europeans…
Disparities in Indigenous Health
Objectives. We compared the health statuses of the indigenous populations of New Zealand and the United States with those of the numerically dominant populations of these countries. Methods. Health indicators compared included health outcome measures, preventive care measures, modifiable risk factor prevalence, and treatment measures. Results. In the case of nearly every health status indicator assessed, disparities (both absolute and relative) w…
