  • Relationship Between Processes of Care and Coronary Bypass Operative Mortality and Morbidity

    Maureen M O’Brien, A Laurie Shroyer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004Referencias: 49

    BACKGROUND: Information is limited regarding the effects of processes of care on cardiac surgical outcomes. Correspondingly, many recommended cardiac surgical processes of care are derived from animal experiments or clinical judgment. This report from the VA Cooperative Study in Health Services, "Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery," focuses on the relationships between 3 process groups (preoperative evaluation, intraoperative …

  • Case Managed Residential Care for Homeless Addicted Veterans

    Kendon J Conrad, Cheryl I Hultman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1998Referencias: 8

    OBJECTIVES: The effectiveness of case-managed residential care (CMRC) in reducing substance abuse, increasing employment, decreasing homelessness, and improving health was examined. METHODS: A five-year prospective experiment included 358 homeless addicted male veterans 3, 6, and 9 months during their enrollment and at 12, 18, and 24 months after the completion of the experimental case-managed residential care program. The customary control condi…

  • The Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery Study Protocol

    A Laurie Shroyer, Martin J London et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Recently, a growing interest has arisen in defining and measuring health care outcomes. Although outcome measures may be used as potential quality-of-care screens, outcomes cannot indicate directly how care might be improved. Thus, the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study was designed to investigate the linkages between the processes and structures of care with risk-adjusted outcomes for cardiac surgery car…

  • Evaluating Anesthesia Health Care Delivery for Cardiac Surgery

    Martin J London, A Laurie Shroyer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Anesthesia care is an integral component of cardiac surgery. Emphasis on cost-effectiveness and decreased hospital stay has prompted reevaluation of anesthesia practice. However, the role of anesthesia process and structure variables in relation to patient outcomes is largely unknown. Processes, Structures and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery is the first epidemiologic study to collect data on anesthesia processes, such as the pharmacologic co…

  • Self-Report Measures for Assessing Treatment Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Patients

    Martin McCarthy, MARTIN J MCCARTHY et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Patient self-report measures are increasingly valued as outcome variables in health services research studies. In this article, the authors describe the Functional Status, Health Related Quality of Life, Life Satisfaction, and Patient Satisfaction scales included in the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) cooperative study underway within the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. In addition to reporting on…
