A nationwide program to improve clinical care quality in the Kyrgyz Republic
BACKGROUND: To assess baseline quality of care in the Kyrgyz Republic in 2019 and determine the effect of online simulated patients in changing doctors' practice in three specific disease areas: non-communicable disease, neonatal/child health, and maternal health. METHODS: Over 2000 family health, pediatric, neonatology, therapy, and obstetric-gynecologic doctors from every rayon (district) hospital and at least one associated family health (Prim…
Comparative effectiveness of two disparate policies on child health
BACKGROUND: Should health systems invest more in access to care by expanding insurance coverage or in health care services including improving the quality of care? Comparing these options experimentally would shed light on the impact and cost-effectiveness of these strategies. METHODS: The Quality Improvement Demonstration Study (QIDS) was a randomized policy experiment conducted across 30 districts in the Philippines. The study had a control gro…
Misdiagnosis of obstetrical cases and the clinical and cost consequences to patients
BACKGROUND: Misdiagnosis may be a significant and under-recognized quality of care problem. In birthing facilities located in anurban Philippine setting, we investigated the diagnostic accuracy for three obstetric conditions: cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), and pre-eclampsia. DESIGN: =103). We linked misdiagnosis - identified by the simulated cases - to obstetrical complications of the patients at the participatin…
Quality Variation and its Impact on Costs and Satisfaction
BACKGROUND: Improving the quality of inpatient hospital care is increasingly attainable in a variety of settings. However, the relationship between rising quality and costs is unclear; similarly the relationship between varying levels of quality and a patient's satisfaction remains poorly defined. METHODS: We use data from the Quality Improvement Demonstration Study (QIDS) based in 30 district hospitals in the Philippines. There were 974 children…

Quality of care and its impact on population health
The burden of disease, economic costs and clinical consequences of tuberculosis in the Philippines
OBJECTIVE: To provide a multidisciplinary and comprehensive analysis on the impact of tuberculosis (TB) in a high incidence country. METHODS: Data from several large scale surveys, carried out between 1997 and 2001 in the Philippines, were used to: (1) perform a burden of disease (BoD) analysis, (2) model the economic costs to society due to lost wages, and (3) determine the clinical outcomes, including the costs of care, for a hypothetical cohor…
Assessing the Accuracy of Administrative Data in Health Information Systems
BACKGROUND: Administrative data play a central role in health care. Inaccuracies in such data are costly to health systems, they obscure health research, and they affect the quality of patient care. OBJECTIVES: We sought to prospectively determine the accuracy of the primary and secondary diagnoses recorded in administrative data sets. RESEARCH DESIGN: Between March and July 2002, standardized patients (SPs) completed unannounced visits at 3 site…
An Evaluation of Universal Health Insurance in the Elderly
By simultaneously analyzing utilization rates, disease patterns, and relative costs of care, policymakers may be able to avert a financing crisis. Stronger pricing strategies and better disease targeting would adjust utilization and increase efficiency of health expenditures
Market reforms and public incentives
Comparison of Vignettes, Standardized Patients, and Chart Abstraction
CONTEXT: Better health care quality is a universal goal, yet measuring quality has proven to be difficult and problematic. A central problem has been isolating physician practices from other effects of the health care system. OBJECTIVE: To validate clinical vignettes as a method for measuring the competence of physicians and the quality of their actual practice. DESIGN: Prospective trial conducted in 1997 comparing 3 methods for measuring the qua…
