Willingness to pay and accept risks to cure chronic disease
Measurements of disease burden focus most often on economic outputs--neglecting effects on quality of life. More comprehensive quantification is based on what people would pay or risk to avoid illness. Many, however, find it difficult to respond thoughtfully to hypothetical questions about what they would pay or risk. With response rates frequently under 50 per cent, the practicality of these methods has been of concern. In this study, specially …
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Quality Assurance in Sixteen Ambulatory Care Practices
A crossover randomized controlled trial of cycles of quality assurance in 16 primary care (8 medical, 8 pediatric) group practices was conducted. Of four medical and four pediatric tasks important to patient outcome, two were randomly assigned to experimental intervention (a quality assurance cycle), and two were also measured and used as blinded controls for each medical or pediatric group practice. Task performance was measured in each group fo…
Resource requirements for evaluating ambulatory health care
We implemented the most frequently used form of quality assurance activity: abstracting information on the quality of patient care from medical records and communicating findings to providers in 16 ambulatory care groups. Site providers accepted the evaluation criteria, agreed that deficiencies in care were detected, and, for some medical tasks, effected improvements in care. Direct costs in 1980 dollars for the quality assurance cycle including …
Quality Assurance in Eight Adult Medicine Group Practices
Four evaluations of ambulatory medical care tasks were developed for use in quality assurance. The evaluations used medical records data and explicit criteria incorporating branching logic. They were implemented in eight general medicine provider groups in two teaching hospitals and six related health centers. Agreement with criteria among 316 provider responses to questionnaires varied from 57% to 100%. The percentage of cases with one or more v…

The incidence and economic costs of cancer, motor vehicle injuries, coronary heart disease, and stroke
The economic impact of disease and injury has most often been calculated by examining the costs associated with the prevalence of the impairments in the reference year. An alternative accounting approach is to assign all disease costs to the year of incidence, an approach which entails present-valuing to the year of incidence both health care expenditures and lost productivity. The incidence approach is the more appropriate for gauging the econom…
