  • National Evaluation of Patient Preferences in Selecting Hospitals and Health Care Providers

    Ryan J Ellis, Tarik K Yuce et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2020References: 20

    BACKGROUND: Patient utilization of public reporting has been suboptimal despite attempts to encourage use.

  • Development of a Novel Composite Process Measure for Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis

    Christine V Kinnier, Mila H Ju et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016References: 29

    BACKGROUND: Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is important clinically, and VTE quality metrics are used in public reporting and pay-for-performance programs. However, current VTE outcome measures are not valid due to surveillance bias, and the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP-VTE-2) process measure only requires prophylaxis within 24 hours of surgery. OBJECTIVES: We sought to (1) develop a novel measure of VTE prophylaxis that req…

  • Surgeons’ Perceptions of Public Reporting of Hospital and Individual Surgeon Quality

This study (1) evaluated surgeons' perceptions of public reporting of surgical quality; and (2) ident…

  • Differences in Patients, Surgical Complexity, and Outcomes After Cancer Surgery at National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Centers Compared to Other Hospitals

    Ryan P Merkow, David J Bentrem et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 3

    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…
