Variation in Hospital Use of Postacute Care After Surgery and the Association With Care Quality
BACKGROUND: Little is known about hospital use of postacute care after surgery and whether it is related to measures of surgical quality. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used data merged between a national surgery registry, Medicare inpatient claims, the Area Resource File, and the American Hospital Association Annual Survey (2005-2008). Using bivariate and multivariate analyses, we calculated hospital-level, risk-adjusted rates of postacute care use for bot…
Differences in Patients, Surgical Complexity, and Outcomes After Cancer Surgery at National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Centers Compared to Other Hospitals
BACKGROUND: Interest in comparing hospital surgical quality continues to increase, particularly with respect to examining certain hospital designations such as National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Centers (NCI-CC). Our objectives were to compare patients, surgical complexity, and risk-adjusted 30-day outcomes following major cancer surgery at NCI-CC versus non-NCI centers. METHODS: From the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Qu…
Impact of Physician–Patient Discussions on Patient Satisfaction
BACKGROUND: When 2 treatment choices (ie, mastectomy vs. breast conserving therapy) show no difference in a primary clinical outcome (ie, survival), patient satisfaction becomes an important marker of the quality of care received. OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of physician-patient discussion of primary surgical treatment outcomes on patients' satisfaction with medical care (MC) among women with incident breast cancer (BC). METHOD: We used self…
