  • Relationship Between Processes of Care and Coronary Bypass Operative Mortality and Morbidity

    Maureen M O’Brien, A Laurie Shroyer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2004References: 49

    BACKGROUND: Information is limited regarding the effects of processes of care on cardiac surgical outcomes. Correspondingly, many recommended cardiac surgical processes of care are derived from animal experiments or clinical judgment. This report from the VA Cooperative Study in Health Services, "Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery," focuses on the relationships between 3 process groups (preoperative evaluation, intraoperative …

  • Relationships Between Patient-Related Risk Factors, Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgical Care Conceptual Models

    A Laurie Shroyer, Martin J London et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    The processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study involves data collection on a comprehensive array of patient risk factors, processes, structures, and short-term outcomes of care at 14 participating Veterans Administration medical centers. This article summarizes the PSOCS conceptual models that serve as the theoretical framework for analyzing the hypothesized risk-process-structure-outcome relationships being inve…

  • The Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery Study An Overview

    A Laurie Shroyer, Martin J London et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    The purpose of this article is to summarize the following set of 10 manuscripts on the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study. The authors believe that many of the innovative study design and implementation features of PSOCS will be of interest to clinicians and to the health services research community. This series of articles represents an extensive review of the existing literature and provides an overview…

  • The Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery Study Protocol

    A Laurie Shroyer, Martin J London et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Recently, a growing interest has arisen in defining and measuring health care outcomes. Although outcome measures may be used as potential quality-of-care screens, outcomes cannot indicate directly how care might be improved. Thus, the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study was designed to investigate the linkages between the processes and structures of care with risk-adjusted outcomes for cardiac surgery car…

  • Evaluating Anesthesia Health Care Delivery for Cardiac Surgery

    Martin J London, A Laurie Shroyer et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Anesthesia care is an integral component of cardiac surgery. Emphasis on cost-effectiveness and decreased hospital stay has prompted reevaluation of anesthesia practice. However, the role of anesthesia process and structure variables in relation to patient outcomes is largely unknown. Processes, Structures and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery is the first epidemiologic study to collect data on anesthesia processes, such as the pharmacologic co…

  • Variations in the Processes and Structures of Cardiac Surgery Nursing Care

    Catherine B Villanueva, SHANN T LUDWIG et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Nurses play an invaluable role as key members of the cardiac surgery patient's medical care team. Over the last century, the nursing profession has become more independent and autonomous. Despite the widespread use of nursing quality indicators, the effect of nursing-specific processes and structures of care on patient outcomes is unknown. Thus, the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Care in Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) study was initiated, in par…

  • Self-Report Measures for Assessing Treatment Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Patients

    Martin McCarthy, MARTIN J MCCARTHY et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Patient self-report measures are increasingly valued as outcome variables in health services research studies. In this article, the authors describe the Functional Status, Health Related Quality of Life, Life Satisfaction, and Patient Satisfaction scales included in the Processes, Structures, and Outcomes of Cardiac Surgery (PSOCS) cooperative study underway within the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. In addition to reporting on…
