Effectiveness of an Electronic Health Record-based Intervention to Improve Follow-up of Abnormal Pathology Results
Archana Laxmisan, Dean F Sittig et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2012Referencias: 18
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: On March 11, 2009, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) implemented an electronic health record (EHR)-based intervention that required all pathology results to be transmitted to ordering providers by mandatory automated notifications. We examined the impact of this intervention on improving follow-up of abnormal outpatient pathology results. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: We extracted pathology reports from the EHR of …
The Effect of Referral and Transfer Patients on Hospital Funding in a Capitated Health Care Delivery System
Kenneth Pietz, Mother Martin Byrne et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referencias: 14
OBJECTIVES: (1) To investigate whether inpatients referred or transferred between facilities result in increased financial loss compared with those admitted directly, in a health care delivery system funded by capitation methods. (2) To determine whether the higher cost of those patients transferred or referred is fairly compensated by a diagnosis-based risk adjustment system, and whether tertiary care facilities bear an unfair financial burden f…
Therapeutic Goal Attainment in Patients With Hypertension and Dyslipidemia
Michael L Johnson, Kenneth Pietz et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006Referencias: 28
BACKGROUND: Recent guidelines emphasize the need to assess and treat overall risk for cardiovascular disease through the concomitant management of multiple risk factors. We sought to ascertain treatment patterns and attainment of therapeutic goals in patients with isolated and concomitant hypertension and dyslipidemia, both with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) and symptomatic cardiovascular disease. METHODS: Inception cohorts of more than 41,0…
A Decision-Theoretic Approach to Identifying Future High-Cost Patients
Kenneth Pietz, Eliseo Izquierdo Pérez et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006Referencias: 8
The decision-theoretic approach may provide insight into the economic consequences of classifying a patient as VHC or not VHC. More research is needed into methods of identifying future VHC patients so that capitation plans can fairly reimburse healthcare systems for appropriately treating these patients
Effect of Using Information From Only One System for Dually Eligible Health Care Users
Mother Martin Byrne, Margaret M Byrne et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2006Referencias: 7
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether all diagnoses and total illness burden of patients who use both the VA and Medicare health care systems can be obtained from examination of data from only one of these systems. METHODS: Cohorts included all age-eligible Medicare users who also used the VA health care system in fiscal years 2000-2002 but were not enrolled in a Medicare HMO. Relative risk scores (RRS; a measure of illness burden developed b…

Predicting Healthcare Costs in a Population of Veterans Affairs Beneficiaries Using Diagnosis-Based Risk Adjustment and Self-Reported Health Status
Kenneth Pietz, Carol M Ashton et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004Referencias: 17
BACKGROUND: Many healthcare organizations use diagnosis-based risk adjustment systems for predicting costs. Health self-report may add information not contained in a diagnosis-based system but is subject to incomplete response. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the added predictive power of health self-report in combination with a diagnosis-based risk adjustment system in concurrent and prospective models of healthcare cost. …
