Leadership Experiences and Perceptions of Mid-Career to Senior Clinician-Scientists
The Disproportionate Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Time Allocation of Recipients of NIH Career Development Awards Who Are Women or Caregivers of Dependents
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as a Test Case for Value Assessment During the Presurgical Period
BACKGROUND: Few performance measures assess presurgical value (quality and utilization). OBJECTIVES: Using carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as a case study: (1) develop a model to evaluate presurgical quality and utilization and (2) identify opportunities for value improvement. RESEARCH DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study utilizing Veterans Affairs (VA) national administrative data. SUBJECTS: Patients who were evaluated in a VA primary care clinic o…
Enhancing the Value of Clinical Work—Choosing Wisely to Preserve the Clinician Workforce
This Viewpoint discusses how to extend Choosing Wisely principles to identify clinical management practices that lead to unnecessary burdens, approaches to identify and prioritize those low-value practices, the partnerships needed to reduce burdens, and a research agenda for evaluating the consequences of change
Treatment Intensification and Risk Factor Control
BACKGROUND: Intensification of pharmacotherapy in persons with poorly controlled chronic conditions has been proposed as a clinically meaningful process measure of quality. OBJECTIVE: To validate measures of treatment intensification by evaluating their associations with subsequent control in hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus across 35 medical facility populations in Kaiser Permanente, Northern California. DESIGN: Hierarchical a…
The Quality of Pharmacologic Care for Adults in the United States
BACKGROUND: Despite rising annual expenditures for prescription drugs, little systematic information is available concerning the quality of pharmacologic care for adults in the United States. We evaluated how frequently appropriate pharmacologic care is ordered in a national sample of U.S. residents. METHODS: The RAND/UCLA Modified Delphi process was used to select quality-of-care indicators for adults across 30 chronic and acute conditions and p…

The Quality of Health Care Delivered to Adults in the United States
BACKGROUND: We have little systematic information about the extent to which standard processes involved in health care--a key element of quality--are delivered in the United States. METHODS: We telephoned a random sample of adults living in 12 metropolitan areas in the United States and asked them about selected health care experiences. We also received written consent to copy their medical records for the most recent two-year period and used thi…
Quality of Health Care for Women
The QA Tools system offers an alternative approach to evaluating health system performance. Potential advantages include the richness of the information produced by the system, the ability to create summary scores for consumers and purchasers, and the system-level performance information for use in quality improvement activities
Building a Better Quality Measure
BACKGROUND: National performance measures monitor the proportion of diabetic patients with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels >/=130 mg/dL, but such simple intermediate outcomes measure poor control, not necessarily poor care. "Tightly linked" quality measures define good quality either by a good intermediate outcome (LDL /=130 mg/dL using the simple intermediate outcome measure, only 13% (148 of 1154) were classified as having substandard qual…
Racial Disparities in Diabetes Care Processes, Outcomes, and Treatment Intensity
BACKGROUND: Black Americans with diabetes have a higher burden of illness and mortality than do white Americans. However, the extent to which differences in medical care processes and treatment intensity contribute to poorer diabetes outcomes is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To assess racial disparities in the quality of diabetes care processes, intermediate outcomes, and treatment intensity. METHODS: We conducted an observational study of 801 white and 11…
