Background: Assessing care continuity is important in evaluating the impact of health care reform and changes to health care delivery. Multiple measures of care continuity have been developed for use with claims data. Objective: This study examined whether alternative continuity measures provide distinct assessments of coordination within predefined episodes of care. Research Design and Subjects: This was a retrospective cohort study using 2008–2…
Evaluation of a Center of Excellence Program for Spine Surgery
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and many private health plans are encouraging patients to seek orthopedic care at hospitals designated as centers of excellence. No evaluations have been conducted to compare patient outcomes and costs at centers of excellence versus other hospitals.

OBJECTIVES: We assessed the relationship between SES and episode costs and the impact of adjusting for SES on physicians' …
