Evaluating the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases at an urban public hospital outpatient clinic
Sexually transmitted diseases occur disproportionately among the poor, are often treated in public hospitals and clinics, and have not been subjected to quality-of-care evaluation. We designed a medical record abstraction system using well-established, specific process-of-care criteria drawn from the medical literature and experts and grouped into three levels of quality: excellent, adequate, and minimal. One hundred seventy-six consecutive patie…
Physician ratings of appropriate indications for three procedures
We previously reported substantial disagreement among expert physician panelists about the appropriateness of performing six medical and surgical procedures for a large number of theoretical indications. A recently completed community-based medical records study of about 4,500 patients who had one of three procedures--coronary angiography, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and carotid endarterectomy--shows that many of the theoretical indications…
Measuring the Clinical Appropriateness of the Use of a Procedure Can We Do It
Increasing attention is being paid to data on geographic differences in population-based rates of use of medical and surgical procedures. To understand these differences and to determine what level of use is appropriate, a method is needed to judge the clinical appropriateness of services. We recently developed and tested such a method in two large, urban geographic areas. Eighty-one medical records from a randomly selected sample of 30 billing e…
Derivation of clinical indications for carotid endarterectomy by an expert panel
We used a two-round consensus panel method to derive and rate the appropriateness of comprehensive sets of detailed clinical indications for performing carotid endarterectomy. Before meeting, nine nationally influential physicians rated 675 indications; after review and discussion, they rated 864. The method did not force unanimity; our purposes were not only to encourage agreement but also to uncover areas of disagreement concerning the procedur…
The Appropriateness of Using a Medical Procedure
Understanding the clinical appropriateness of a procedure's use may be critical in explaining geographic variations in its use. Little is known, however, about whether data on appropriateness can be obtained from a medical record. A national panel of physicians formulated a list of 300 mutually exclusive, detailed clinical indications for performing coronary angiography. Using this list, we compared the reasons physicians perform coronary angiogr…
Physician ratings of appropriate indications for six medical and surgical procedures
We convened three panels of physicians to rate the appropriateness of a large number of indications for performing a total of six medical and surgical procedures. The panels followed a modified Delphi process. Panelists separately assigned initial ratings, then met in Santa Monica, California where they received reports showing their initial ratings and the distribution of the other panelists ratings. They discussed the indications and revised th…
Physician and Patient Satisfaction as Factors Related to the Organization of Internal Medicine Group Practices
The present study compares patient satisfaction scores with job satisfaction scores of the physicians providing their care in 16 general internal medicine teaching hospital group practices. Practice sites with more satisfied patients were also more likely to have more satisfied housestaff and faculty physicians. Additionally, higher satisfaction scores for both physician groups and patients were consistently associated with a greater percentage o…
Consensus methods
Consensus methods are being used increasingly to solve problems in medicine and health. Their main purpose is to define levels of agreement on controversial subjects. Advocates suggest that, when properly employed, consensus strategies can create structured environments in which experts are given the best available information, allowing their solutions to problems to be more justifiable and credible than otherwise. This paper surveys the characte…
Girls' and Boys' Changing Attitudes Toward School
This study considered children in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade in order to determine whether boys and girls differ from one another in their attitudes toward school when they first begin, and whether the relationship between boys' and girls' attitude changes with time. The information used in the study was collected during an evaluation of the California pre-school program. A total of 6011 educationally disadvantaged children in 14…
