Measuring Equity in the Hospital Setting
BACKGROUND: Health care quality varies by patient factors, including race-and-ethnicity and preferred language. Addressing inequities requires identifying them and incentivizing equity. OBJECTIVES: We apply an approach first implemented in the Medicare Advantage setting to measure equity in patient experiences by race-and-ethnicity [Asian American and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI), Black, Hispanic, vs. White] and language pref…
Measuring Inconsistency in Quality Across Patient Groups to Target Quality Improvement
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) may be aimed at improving care for all patients, or it may be targeted at only certain patient groups. Health care providers have little guidance when determining when targeted QI may be preferred. OBJECTIVES: The aim was to develop a method for quantifying performance inconsistency and guidelines for when inconsistency indicates targeted QI, which we apply to the performance of health plans for different pati…
Quality of Buprenorphine Care for Insured Adults With Opioid Use Disorder
AIM: The aim of this study was to characterize quality of buprenorphine care for opioid use disorder (OUD) by quantifying buprenorphine initiation, engagement, and maintenance for individuals in a large, diverse, real-world cohort in the United States. DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING: OUD treatment in the outpatient setting. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 45,210 commercially insured and Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollees 18 yea…
Model Homes
BACKGROUND: The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model has been widely adopted, but the evidence on its effectiveness remains mixed. One potential explanation for these mixed findings is variation in how the model is implemented by practices. OBJECTIVE: To identify the impact of different approaches to PCMH adoption on health care utilization in a long-term, geographically diverse sample of patients. DESIGN: Difference-in-differences evaluati…
Assessing Cancer Patient Experience of Care in Outpatient Oncology Practices in the United States
INTRODUCTION: Cancer patients' experience of care is an important component of quality that has not previously been used for comparing performance. We administered a new patient experience survey to cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy treatment. We examined its measures for sensitivity to adjustment for case-mix and response tendency (level of general optimism/pessimism) and reliability for making performance comparisons between pra…
Explaining the Relationship Between Minority Group Status and Health Disparities
Purpose: There is growing concern that value-based payment for health care may disadvantage health care organizations that serve populations with social risk. In the broader investigation of social risk factors, including income, education, neighborhood deprivation, and other risks, the focus on race and ethnicity as a risk factor for disparities in health and health care has diminished. Understanding the independent contribution of minority grou…

This study provides support for the reliability and validity of new items to supplement the CG-CAHPS 1.0 Survey to assess aspects of primary care that are important attributes of PCMHs
Are Characteristics of the Medical Home Associated With Diabetes Care Costs
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between primary care medical home clinical practice systems corresponding to the domains of the Chronic Care Model and annual diabetes-related health care costs incurred by members of a health plan with type-2 diabetes and receiving care at one of 27 Minnesota-based medical groups. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of the relation between patient-level costs and Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) prac…

Mobilizing a Region to Redesign a Local System of Care
Local efforts to redesign systems of care offer fertile ground for community-based participatory research approaches to take hold and flourish. Drawing on the experiences of a learning collaborative of maternal and child healthcare stakeholders in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, this article describes 8 action steps for operationalizing key community-based participatory research principles in the context of local systems change. Highlights of the…
Association of Health Plans' Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (Hedis) Performance With Outcomes of Enrollees With Diabetes
BACKGROUND: Few quality of care evaluations examine the relationship between clinical processes and patient outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between health plan performance on Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) clinical processes and intermediate outcome measures and Health Outcomes Survey (HOS) self-reported physical and mental health scores among Medicare plan enrollees with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN: Sec…

The Effects of Mental Health Factors on Ambulatory Care Visits by Rural Teens
This study sought to determine the effects of mental health variables on rural adolescents' use of ambulatory health care services and whether these effects varied across common outpatient settings. Using a cross‐sectional survey design, 2,297 adolescents who attended public schools in grades 7 through 12 in one isolated rural Mississippi River Delta county were assessed via a standardized health behavior survey. This self‐report measure inquired…
Physician Gender and Psychosocial Care for Children
OBJECTIVE: To examine differences by physician gender in the identification and treatment of childhood psychosocial problems. DESIGN: Survey of patients (n = 19,963) and physicians (n = 366) in primary care offices in 2 large, practice-based research networks. Multivariate regressions were used to control for patient, physician, and visit characteristics, with a correction for the clustered sample. SUBJECTS: Children ages 4 to 15 years seen conse…
