  OBJECTIVE: The use of administrative data to identify inpatient complications is technically feasible and inexpensive but unproven as a quality measure. Our objective was to validate whether a screening method that uses data from standard hospital discharge abstracts identifies complications of care and potential quality problems. DESIGN: This was a case-control study with structured implicit physician reviews. SETTING: Acute-care hospitals in Ca…
