Adding New Components to a Composite Quality Metric
OBJECTIVES: This study illustrates how the statistical reliability of an individual measure relates to the overall reliability of a composite metric, as understanding this relationship provides additional information when evaluating measures for endorsement. BACKGROUND: National quality measure endorsement processes typically evaluate individual metrics on criteria such as importance and scientific acceptability (eg, reliability). In practice, qu…
When Payment Systems Collide
BACKGROUND: Different types of providers often face differing financial incentives for providing similar types of care. This may have implications for payment systems that target improvements in care requiring multiple types of providers. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine how hospitalization influences the anemia of Medicare patients with chronic renal failure, where anemia is treated under a prospective payment system duri…
Do Resource Utilization and Clinical Measures Still Vary Across Dialysis Chains After Controlling for the Local Practices of Facilities and Physicians
BACKGROUND: Because of adverse survival effects, anemia management and financial incentives to increase doses of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) have been controversial. Prior studies showed more aggressive anemia management in dialysis facilities owned by for-profit chains, but have been criticized for not accounting for practices of individual physicians and facilities. OBJECTIVE: To improve understanding of how dialysis practices and …
Using Knowledge of Multiple Levels of Variation in Care to Target Performance Incentives to Providers
BACKGROUND: In developing "pay-for-performance" and capitation systems that provide incentives for improving the quality and efficiency of care, policymakers need to determine which healthcare providers to evaluate and reward. OBJECTIVES: This study demonstrates methods for determining and understanding the relative contributions of facilities and physicians to the quality and cost of care. Specifically, this study distinguishes levels of variati…
