  • Methods for Assessing Condition-Specific and Generic Functional Status Outcomes After Total Knee Replacement

    M Elizabeth Kantz, Wendy J Harris et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1992

    Many assume that, relative to generic measures, condition-specific health measures are both more sensitive to the condition's severity and more specific because they are less affected by other conditions. We analyzed the sensitivity and specificity of the generic SF-36, condition-specific scales based on the SF-36, and condition-specific measures based on the Knee Society's Clinical Rating System in a study of osteoarthritis patients following kn…

  • Patient-Based Health Status Measures in Outpatient Dialysis

    Paul S Kurtin, Allyson Ross Davies et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1992

    This paper describes the initial development of a patient-based outcomes assessment program in an outpatient dialysis unit. This project presented four logistical and practical issues that are discussed in this paper: patient acceptance of quarterly administrations of a generic health status survey (the SF-36); timing of administration during dialysis session; respondent burden; and staff burden. Also discussed are three issues related to the cli…

  • Physician and Patient Satisfaction as Factors Related to the Organization of Internal Medicine Group Practices

    Lawrence S Linn, Robert H Brook et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1985

    The present study compares patient satisfaction scores with job satisfaction scores of the physicians providing their care in 16 general internal medicine teaching hospital group practices. Practice sites with more satisfied patients were also more likely to have more satisfied housestaff and faculty physicians. Additionally, higher satisfaction scores for both physician groups and patients were consistently associated with a greater percentage o…

  • Does Free Care Improve Adults' Health?

    Robert H Brook, John E Ware et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine1983

    Does free medical care lead to better health than insurance plans that require the patient to shoulder part of the cost? In an effort to answer this question, we studied 3958 people between the ages of 14 and 61 who were free of disability that precluded work and had been randomly assigned to a set of insurance plans for three or five years. One plan provided free care; the others required enrollees to pay a share of their medical bills. As previ…

  • Patient Satisfaction and Change in Medical Care Provider

    M Susan Marquis, Allyson Ross Davies et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1983

    Longitudinal data from The Rand Corporation's Health Insurance Experiment were used to test the hypothesis that provider continuity can be modeled as one behavioral consequence of patient satisfaction. Bivariate and multivariate analyses (controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, prior use of services, health status, and health insurance plan) supported our hypotheses. A multivariate linear probability function indicated that a 1-point de…
