Principles for Stakeholder Engagement in Observational Health Research
This Viewpoint advocates for the inclusion of patients and other stakeholders in interpreting data for observational research studies
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Diabetes Care Quality among Women of Reproductive Age in an Integrated Delivery System
Identifying Common Predictors of Multiple Adverse Outcomes Among Elderly Adults With Type-2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE: As part of a multidisciplinary team managing patients with type-2 diabetes, pharmacists need a consistent approach of identifying and prioritizing patients at highest risk of adverse outcomes. Our objective was to identify which predictors of adverse outcomes among type-2 diabetes patients were significant and common across 7 outcomes and whether these predictors improved the performance of risk prediction models. Identifying such pred…

The Relationship Between Prescription Copayments and Contraceptive Adherence in a New-user Cohort
BACKGROUND: Contraceptive nonadherence is an important contributor to unintended pregnancy in the United States. While the elimination of patient cost sharing has been cited as means to improve contraceptive access, little is known about the relationship between cost sharing and ongoing adherence and continuation of chosen methods. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between copayment amount and adherence to pharmacy-dispens…
Opportunities to Reduce Diabetes Risk in Women of Reproductive Age
Performance Management in Accountable Care Organizations in the U.S. and Germany
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Health Care System-level Factors Associated With Performance on Medicare STAR Adherence Metrics in a Large, Integrated Delivery System
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services provide significant incentives to health plans that score well on Medicare STAR metrics for cardiovascular disease risk factor medication adherence. Information on modifiable health system-level predictors of adherence can help clinicians and health plans develop strategies for improving Medicare STAR scores, and potentially improve cardiovascular disease outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To examine t…
Bringing Patients' Social Context into the Examination Room
Patient perceptions of integrated care
Patients may not understand the term integrated care but are relatively clear on what the concept of integrated care entails and support its successful implementation. Patients and their families are at the center of integrated care, and health systems need to support and empower them to successfully navigate the medical neighborhood
Standardizing Terminology and Definitions of Medication Adherence and Persistence in Research Employing Electronic Databases
OBJECTIVE: To propose a unifying set of definitions for prescription adherence research utilizing electronic health record prescribing databases, prescription dispensing databases, and pharmacy claims databases and to provide a conceptual framework to operationalize these definitions consistently across studies. METHODS: We reviewed recent literature to identify definitions in electronic database studies of prescription-filling patterns for chron…
Meaningful Variation in Performance
BACKGROUND: Variance reduction is sometimes considered as a goal of clinical quality improvement. Variance among physicians, hospitals, or health plans has been evaluated as the proportion of total variance (or intraclass correlation, ICC) in a quality measure; low ICCs have been interpreted to indicate low potential for quality improvement at that level. However, the absolute amount of variation, expressed in clinically meaningful units, is less…
Meaningful Variation in Performance
BACKGROUND: Recommendations for directing quality improvement initiatives at particular levels (eg, patients, physicians, provider groups) have been made on the basis of empirical components of variance analyses of performance. OBJECTIVE: To review the literature on use of multilevel analyses of variability in quality. RESEARCH DESIGN: Systematic literature review of English-language articles (n = 39) examining variability and reliability of perf…
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…
Predicted Quality-Adjusted Life Years as a Composite Measure of the Clinical Value of Diabetes Risk Factor Control
BACKGROUND: Control of blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and A1c can lower the risk for diabetes complications. These quality indicators often are examined separately and weighted equally in performance measurement, potentially discarding important information. OBJECTIVES: We sought to create a composite indicator of the clinical benefit, or value, of diabetes risk factor control that appropriately weights the clinical …
Racial and Ethnic Differences in a Patient Survey
BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated the influence of race and/or ethnicity on patients' ratings of quality of care. None have incorporated patients' values and beliefs regarding medical care in assessing these possible differences. OBJECTIVES: We explored whether patients' values, ratings, and reports regarding physicians' primary care performance differed by race and/or ethnicity. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional, mailed patient…
