Adherence to Quality Indicators and Survival in Patients With Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND: International initiatives increasingly advocate physician adherence to clinical protocols that have been shown to improve outcomes, yet the process-outcome relationship for adhering to breast cancer care protocol is unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study explores whether 100% adherence to a set of quality indicators applied to individuals with breast cancer is associated with better survival. RESEARCH DESIGN AND SUBJECTS: Ten quality indicato…
Components of Care Vary in Importance for Overall Patient-Reported Experience by Type of Hospitalization
BACKGROUND: Patients are hospitalized for disparate conditions and procedures. Patient experiences with care may depend on hospitalization type (HT). OBJECTIVES: Determine whether the contributions of patient experience composite measures to overall hospital ratings on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Survey vary by HT. RESEARCH DESIGN: In cross-sectional observational data, we defined 24 HTs using major diagno…
Costs of Intravenous Adverse Drug Events in Academic and Nonacademic Intensive Care Units
BACKGROUND: Adverse drug events (ADEs), particularly those involving intravenous medications (IV-ADEs), are common among intensive care unit (ICU) patients and may increase hospitalization costs. Precise cost estimates have not been reported for academic ICUs, and no studies have included nonacademic ICUs. OBJECTIVES: To estimate increases in costs and length of stay after IV-ADEs at an academic and a nonacademic hospital. RESEARCH DESIGN: This s…
Variations by Specialty in Physician Ratings of the Appropriateness and Necessity of Indications for Procedures
The authors compare the appropriateness ratings and mutual influence of panelists from different specialties rating a comprehensive set of indications for six surgical procedures. Nine-member panels rated each procedure: abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery, carotid endarterectomy, cataract surgery, coronary angiography, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery/percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (common panel). Panelists individually rat…
Measuring the Necessity of Medical Procedures
This is a report on the extension of the concept of the appropriateness of a procedure to the necessity, or crucial importance, of that procedure. To state that a procedure is crucial means that withholding the procedure would be deleterious to the patient's health. Appropriateness and necessity ratings for six procedures were obtained using a modified Delphi panel process developed in earlier work. Panels were composed of practicing clinicians w…
