    Tom Moritz began his professional career in 1975 at the National Natural Resources Library of the U.S. Department of the Interior in Washington, DC. He is a member of the IUCN Species Survival Commission and currently serves on the National Visiting Committee for the core integration system, U.S. National Science Digital Library and is a member of the National Science Committee for ITIS (the Integrated Taxonomic Information System). He has active…

  • 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 …

  • Statistical Methods and Strategies for Working with Large Data Bases

    Guillermo Marshall, William G Henderson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    This article describes the statistical methods and strategies to be used in establishing the linkages between processes and structures of care with risk-adjusted outcomes in a large multicenter Veterans Affairs cooperative study in health services of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The statistical analyses consist of test involving nine specific hypotheses related to the effect of processes and structures of care on risk-adjusted outcomes. F…

  • 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…

  • Development of an Interactive Data Base Management System for Capturing Large Volumes of Data

    Thomas E Moritz, Thomas Moritz et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    Accurate collection and successful management of data are problems common to all scientific studies. For studies in which large quantities of data are collected by means of questionnaires and/or forms, data base management becomes quite laborious and time consuming. Data base management comprises data collection, data entry, data editing, and data base maintenance. In this article, the authors describe the development of an interactive data base …

  • 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 Processes and Structures of Cardiac Surgery Practice

    H Gareth Tobler, Gulshan K Sethi et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1995

    It is hypothesized that variations in the processes and structures of the selection of patients and the conduct of the surgical procedure may influence risk-adjusted outcome in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. For this reason, the results of the pilot phase of this Veterans Affairs cooperative study were reviewed to determine the variation in the operative practices at six pilot institutions. There were large variations in the percentage of e…

  • 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…
