Mortality differences between New York City municipal and voluntary hospitals, for selected conditions
To determine if mortality differences between municipal and voluntary hospitals in New York City persist after adjustment for computerized administrative data (age, sex, principal diagnosis, and secondary diagnosis), six conditions in those hospitals from 1984 through 1987 were studied. Unadjusted mortality was significantly higher in municipal hospitals for myocardial infarction, stroke, and head trauma, and lower for congestive heart failure an…
Assigning Appropriateness Ratings for Diagnostic Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Using Two Different Approaches
Methods that combine information in the medical literature with expert clinical judgment are needed to determine the appropriateness of use of a procedure. The purpose of this study is to better understand the reliability and construct validity of this process by comparing ratings of appropriateness for diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy that were developed using different approaches by two independent groups. Both the RAND/UCLA Health S…
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…
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…
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…
Community Organization and the Romantic Temper
This article by R.Park is notorious for his famous ability - to transcend from setting the fundamental theoretical questions to their manifestations in real social problems naturally and by the shortestpass. The political system is based on the assumption that the local community is a local political entity. If the local community is organized, aware of their local interests, and has its own opinion, then we have the most thriving democracy. Ther…
