  • Improving the Reliability of Physician “Report Cards”

    Kimberly Smith, Kimberly A Smith et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 26

    BACKGROUND: Performance measures are widely used to profile primary care physicians (PCPs) but their reliability is often limited by small sample sizes. We evaluated the reliability of individual PCP profiles and whether they can be improved by combining measures into composites or by profiling practice groups. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of electronic health record data for patients with diabetes (DM), congestive heart failu…

  • Engagement With Automated Patient Monitoring and Self-Management Support Calls

    John D Piette, Ann‐Marie Rosland et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2013References: 41

    BACKGROUND: Patient self-care support via Interactive Voice Response (IVR) can improve disease management. However, little is known about the factors affecting program engagement. METHODS: We compiled data on IVR program engagement for 1173 patients with: heart failure, depression, diabetes, or cancer who were followed for 28,962 person-weeks. Patients in programs for diabetes or depression (N=727) had the option of participating along with an in…

  • Missed Opportunities for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Screening Among Women With a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

    Catherine Kim, Bahman P Tabaei et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2006References: 12

    Objectives. We sought to determine rates and factors associated with screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods. We retrospectively studied women with diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus who delivered at a university-affiliated hospital (n=570). Data sources included medical and administrative record review. Main outcome measures were the frequency of any type of glucose testi…

  • Reliability of Clinical Guideline Development Using Mail-Only versus In-Person Expert Panels

    Donna L Washington, STEVEN J BERNSTEIN et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2003References: 19

    BACKGROUND: Clinical practice guidelines quickly become outdated. One reason they might not be updated as often as needed is the expense of collecting expert judgment regarding the evidence. The RAND-UCLA Appropriateness Method is one commonly used method for collecting expert opinion. We tested whether a less expensive, mail-only process could substitute for the standard in-person process normally used. METHODS: We performed a 4-way replication …

  • Effect of Specialty and Nationality on Panel Judgments of the Appropriateness of Coronary Revascularization

    STEVEN J BERNSTEIN, P Lázaro et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2001References: 19

    Background. Appropriateness criteria are frequently used to assess quality of care. However, assessing care in one country with criteria developed in another may be misleading. One approach to measuring care across countries would be to develop common standards using physicians from different countries and specialties. Objective. To identify the degree to which appropriateness ratings for coronary revascularization developed by a multinational pa…

  • Discussion Between Reviewers Does Not Improve Reliability of Peer Review of Hospital Quality

    Timothy P Hofer, STEVEN J BERNSTEIN et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2000

    OBJECTIVES: Peer review is used to make final judgments about quality of care in many quality assurance activities. To overcome the low reliability of peer review, discussion between several reviewers is often recommended to point out overlooked information or allow for reconsideration of opinions and thus improve reliability. The authors assessed the impact of discussion between 2 reviewers on the reliability of peer review. METHODS: A group of …

  • A randomized controlled trial of information‐giving to patients referred for coronary angiography

    Open AccessSTEVEN J BERNSTEIN, Kimberly A Skarupski et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations1998

    Objective To assess the impact of providing an educational videotape, ` Treatment Choices for Ischaemic Heart Disease: a Shared Decision‐Making Program Videotape ,' to patients referred for coronary angiography compared with standard patient‐physician decision making (usual care). Study design Randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting University Hospital and Veterans Affairs Hospital. Patients A consecutive sample of 217 patients referred for…

  • Variations by Specialty in Physician Ratings of the Appropriateness and Necessity of Indications for Procedures

    James P Kahan, ROLLA EDWARD PARK et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1996References: 16

    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…

  • A matter of opinion about hysterectomies

    Nina A Bickell, J A Earp et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1995Cited by: 7References: 12

    The degree to which national expert panel survey ratings of the appropriateness of hysterectomy differed from those of a random sample of practicing community gynecologists was determined. Community gynecologists rated hysterectomy as more appropriate on six of eight cervical dysplasia scenarios. Experts agreed among themselves on 19 of 32 indications (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.66); community gynecologists agreed on 12 of 32 indicati…

  • Measuring the Necessity of Medical Procedures

    James P Kahan, STEVEN J BERNSTEIN et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1994

    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…
