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 care. Data are being collected on a comprehensive array of risk factors, processes, structures, and outcomes of care at 14 Veterans Affairs Medical Centers for this prospective, observational study. Approximately 6,000 cardiac surgery patients will be enrolled in this study over a 4.5-year period. Patient selection is based on a 6 workday rotating sampling frame with an oversampling of emergent patients. During the study, a register of all patients undergoing cardiac surgery at these centers is being maintained to assess the overall context of patient recruitment. The study will continue to enroll patients through December 1996. Major study end points extend beyond traditional measures of 30-day mortality and morbidity to encompass more innovative intermediate outcome measures, including changes in physical functional status and health-related quality of life
