The Seattle evaluation of computerized drug profiles
Since 1979, all outpatient pharmacy transactions at the US Public Health Service Hospital in Seattle have been captured in a computer system which generates a profile of each patient's active and previously used drugs. We conducted a controlled trial in which patients were allocated to profile or no-profile groups while the computer continued to collect data on everyone. In all, 41,572 clinic visits made by 6,186 patients were studied. The incide…
The Effect of Chest Radiographs on the Management and Clinical Course of Patients With Acute Cough
The authors studied 2018 consecutive patients with a cough of less than 1 month's duration, presenting for medical care with this problem for the first time. Chest films were taken of all of the last 1819 of these patients. After physicians had specified diagnoses and patient management plans for the last 1531 of these 1819 patients, 98 per cent of the 1531 were randomized either to a group whose chest films were then used in their care, or to a …
The Seattle Evaluation of Computerized Drug Profiles
We studied whether furnishing care providers with computer-generated summaries of patients' current and past medications would reduce the time they spent on various drug-related tasks during patient visits. An observer used time-sampling methods to measure the amount of provider time spent on each of 10 activities during 166 clinic visits, some with profiles and some without them. Additional data were taken from the medical record on factors that…
Phased trial of a proven algorithm at a new primary care clinic
A previous study showed that a clinical algorithm for respiratory illnesses, consisting of a checklist, a set of instructions (logic), and computer audit/feedback, could reduce costs significantly while maintaining a high quality of care. The results of this study show that the algorithm system, developed and validated at one primary care clinic, can be successfully imported to another primary care clinic. In the present study, the algorithm syst…
Reproducibility of Clinical Data and Decisions in the Management of Upper Respiratory Illnesses
The ability of non-physician providers to collect the data required by an algorithm for upper respiratory illness management, and the appropriateness of resulting key management decisions, were studied by comparing non-physician data and management decisions on 426 patients with those of internists. The internists, blinded to Amosists' findings and plans, evaluated the same patients and indicated management without using the algorithm (AM-MD) stu…
The Effectiveness and Cost of Acute Respiratory Illness Medical Care Provided by Physicians and Algorithm-assisted Physicians?? Assistants
The medical management of patients with acute respiratory illnesses was analyzed at two different clinics during a 14- to 21-month period. Patients received care from either physicians or physician-supervised physician's assistants (PA). The PAs used respiratory illness clinical algorithms to guide their choice of diagnostic tests and treatment. Illness outcome, patient satisfaction, and medical care cost data were obtained for all patients appro…
