Geographic Variation in Utilization of Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgical procedure on Medicare beneficiaries, with an annual cost to the Medicare program of more than $3.4 billion. In this study, the relationship between demographic, environmental, and provider-related factors, and the likelihood that cataract surgery will be performed on a Medicare beneficiary were assessed. The association between likelihood of cataract surgery and patient age, sex, race, in…
Deliberations on the Dissemination of Port Products
This report outlines the activities undertaken by the Inter-PORT Dissemination work group during its first 2 years of operation. The work group's initial purpose was to assist the individual PORTs in developing their plans for both disseminating research findings and evaluating the effectiveness of these strategies. However, it became quickly apparent that in a discipline little more than a decade old, a commonly understood vocabulary had yet to …
Medical technology assessment and practice guidelines
There is the expectation that outcomes research and the promulgation of medical practice guidelines will be able to identify and hopefully reduce the amount of unnecessary or inappropriate medical care through a variety of methods, including utilization review. However, past efforts by public and private insurers to deny claims on the basis of formal technology assessments or practice guidelines have frequently been overturned by the courts for m…
Variations Research
Early research on variations in clinical practice highlighted substantial differences in the rate at which various surgical procedures were done in different locations.1 Since then, the focus of variations research has expanded to include the analysis of variations in other aspects of the content of care, such as the rate of hospital admissions for particular diagnoses, the length and cost of such hospital stays, the frequency with which patients…
Can Patients Use an Automated Questionnaire to Define Their Current Health Status
Patient management decisions rarely incorporate standardized health status assessments, since accurate and reliable measures are difficult and expensive to obtain. In prior research with various methods for obtaining health data from patients, it was found that physicians' acceptance of a method was improved if it provided an individualized printout. It was also determined that patients will readily complete a health status questionnaire on a com…
Accuracy of Medicare Claims Data for Estimation of Cancer Incidence and Resection Rates Among Elderly Americans
To explore the reliability of Medicare Part A claims data for clinical and health services research related to the care of patients with cancer, the authors compared estimates of the incidence of and resection rates for cancer of the breast, colon, and lung derived from analysis of Medicare Part A data versus data from the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. Incidence rates of breast, colon, and…
Risk Reduction From Low Osmolality Contrast Media
Decisions regarding the use of and reimbursement for new medical technologies frequently involve complex cost-quality trade-offs. Among physicians, hospital administrators, and insurers, interindividual variation in the value of benefits attributable to these technologies often leads to conflicting opinions about their appropriate use. Although society now encourages patient involvement in such decisions, few methods for obtaining patient valuati…
