  • Implementing Unique Device Identification in Electronic Health Record Systems

    Thomas R Campion, Stephen B Johnson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014References: 18

    BACKGROUND: The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed creating a unique device identification (UDI) system for medical devices to facilitate postmarket surveillance, quality improvement, and other applications. Although a small number of health care institutions have implemented initiatives comparable with the proposed UDI system by capturing data in electronic health record (EHR) systems, it is unknown whether institution…

  • A Framework for Evidence Evaluation and Methodological Issues in Implantable Device Studies

    Art Sedrakyan, Danica Marinac-Dabic et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2010References: 29

    Implantable medical devices (IMD) are frequently used in interventional medicine. There are a host of complex methodological issues to consider in conducting device studies. A general conceptual framework for evidence evaluation is needed to help investigators conduct comparative studies in this setting. It is known that clinical trials of implants require study design planning and creative execution that are quite different from those in pharmac…

  • Changes in Racial Disparities in Access to Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery Between the Late 1990s and Early 2000s

    Dana B Mukamel, David L Weimer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007References: 24

    BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in medical care in the United States are pervasive and persistent. Minorities, African American patients in particular, have lower utilization rates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and, compared with white patients, they receive care from surgeons with worse records of performance. OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine the persistence of disparities in CABG care (overall access to surgery and access to hi…

  • Quality Report Cards, Selection of Cardiac Surgeons, and Racial Disparities

    Open AccessDana B Mukamel, David L Weimer et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2004

    Quality report cards have become common in many health care markets. This study evaluates their effectiveness by examining the impact of the New York State (NYS) Cardiac Surgery Reports on selection of cardiac surgeons. The analyses compares selection of surgeons in 1991 (pre-report publication) and 1992 (post-report publication). We find that the information about a surgeon's quality published in the reports influences selection directly and dim…

  • Calculating the Costs of Training in Primary Care

    J William Gavett, Alvin I MushlinARTICLEMedical Care1986

    The costs of postgraduate medical education remain a relevant topic for educators and managers as well as for the payors of medical care. Historically, the pervasive problem has been that of identifying education costs in a program that jointly produces patient services and research as well as training. This problem is often approached by an accounting "allocation" of program costs to education. The previous literature on calculating the costs of…

  • Marginal Ambulatory Teaching Cost Under Varying Levels of Service Utilization

    D M Panton, Alvin I Mushlin et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1980

    The ambulatory component of residency training jointly produces two products, namely, training and patient services. In costing educational programs of this type, two approaches are frequently taken. The first considers the total costs of the educational program, including training and patient services. These costs are usually constructed from historical accounting records. The second approach attempts to cost the joint products separately, based…

  • The Role of New Health Practitioners in a Prepaid Group Practice

    David M Levine, Laura Morlock et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1976

    Practice patterns and patient-reported outcomes of care are compared in detail for ten physicians and 12 new health practitioners delivering ambulatory care in two departments of a prepaid group practice, the Columbia Medical Plan (CMP). All providers completed questionnaires for a 50 per cent random sample of patients seen during a two-week period. Patients completed questionnaires prior to receiving care and were interviewed one week and one mo…
