Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physician profiling to assess physicians' competence is essential in the reappointment process. But more important than simply reappointing physicians, Medical Staff leaders must provide meaningful feedback to help them improve their quality of care. To do that, they must decide what data to collect, how to collect it, and how to communicate it to help physicians improve performance. HCPro's new book: 10 Steps to Successful Physician Profiling: How to Achieve Excellent Physician Performance, shows how to create and use "physician performance feedback reports," a tool that makes it easier to communicate meaningful data to physicians, to help them change their behavior. Customizable CD-ROM included: 10 Steps to Successful Physician Profiling: How to Achieve Excellent Physician Performance comes with a customizable color-coded physician performance report. The CD-ROM consolidates collected data - from clinical quality, service quality, and activity to resource utilization and even peer relationships - and creates a functional color display so physicians can easily see where they need to improve. Pre-calculated formulas show performance trends and help communicate to physicians where they rank in comparison to their peers

Download or read book The Reliability of Provider Profiling written by John L. Adams and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public and private purchasers and health plans are demanding more information about the quality and relative costliness of U.S. physicians to increase physician accountability and aid in value-based purchasing. Although performance measurement has been in place for some time in hospitals and managed care organizations (MCOs), the focus on physician profiling is a relatively new development. The inherent limitations of the available data at the physician level have brought to the fore technical issues that were less important at higher levels of aggregation in hospitals and MCOs. One of these technical issues is the reliability of a physician's performance measurement. This technical report explains the use and implementation of reliability measurement for quality measures in provider profiling in health care. It provides details and a practical method of how to calculate reliability measures from the sort of data typically available. It also explains why reliability measurement is an important component of evaluating a profiling system.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Health care today harms too frequently and routinely fails to deliver its potential benefits. Significant evidence suggests that high quality primary care can positively affect health outcomes. I explored three related topics mentioned frequently in current United States health reform -- Electronic Health Records (EHR), physician profiling and Medical Home. An investment in these areas is expected to significantly improve quality of care and efficiency; however, there is only a patchwork of evidence supporting such claims. To achieve EHR promises, my research employed a standardization lens to study the dynamics between EHR embedded structures and primary care processes. Using grounded theory, a standardization dynamics model was created describing the influencers, conditions and consequences of the process state. A matrix of two conditions, information exchange and patient complexity, identified four distinct pathways that require a different balance between standardization and flexibility. The value of such pathways is that they frame choices about how to use embedded IT structures to support effective delivery processes. Physician profiling is an emerging methodology used in health care quality improvement programs. Efforts to measure performance at the individual physician level face a number of challenges, including the need for sufficient sample size to support reliable measurement. A process for creating a physician profiling model was developed, and a model designed for a case study site. Results indicate that reliable physician profiling is possible across care domains using a hierarchical composite model. Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a new care delivery approach for providing comprehensive primary care that seeks to strengthen the physician-patient relationship. This exploratory study utilizes Pearson correlation coefficients to test four hypotheses about relationships between two sources of data: (1) PPC-PCMH Survey results that measure adoption of PCMH structures and (2) patient experience data from Massachusetts Health Quality Partners (MHQP). The results showed that the PPC-PCMH structures of access and communication were negatively correlated with the related patient experience measure. This study contributes to the literature by addressing deficiencies in how EHR-enabled processes, physician profiling models and Medical Home constructs are measured, to support improved outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance Measurement is the first in a new series of an ongoing effort by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to improve health care quality. Performance Measurement offers a comprehensive review of available measures and introduces a new framework to examine these measures against the six aims of the health care system: health care should be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. This new book also addresses the gaps in performance measurement and introduces the need for measures that are longitudinal, comprehensive, population-based, and patient-centered. This book is directed toward all concerned with improving the quality and performance of the nation's health care system in its multiple dimensions and in both the public and private sectors.
Download or read book Assessing the Accuracy of Provider Profiling Methods for Classification written by Victoria Ding and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provider profiling as a means to describe and compare performance of health care professionals has gained great momentum in the past decade. The implications of profiling, which can drive provider incentives and guide health policy, call for precise and accurate statistical methods. We used a simulation study to compare the performance of three commonly used methods for estimating provider performance (ranking) and for identifying high performing providers (classifying). We evaluated classification performance based on sensitivity and specificity and ranking performance based on mean squared error. We found that when between-provider variability in performance was low, all three methods performed poorly, with low accuracy for identifying top performers and high mean squared error for ranking. We then demonstrated the performance of these methods in an application to data on satisfaction with mental health care providers. Based on these findings, we caution against the use of any classification method in the setting of low between-provider variability and recommend the use of risk-adjusted methods, which take into account variation in characteristics of providers' patients, when the ratio of between-provider variability to within-provider variability is high.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical report describes the methods and sensitivity analyses used by the authors in an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Purchasers are experimenting with a variety of approaches to control health care costs, including limiting network contracts to lower-cost physicians and offering patients differential copayments to encourage them to visit "high-performance" (i.e., higher-quality, lower-cost) physicians. These approaches require a method for analyzing physicians' costs and a classification system for determining which physicians have lower relative costs. There has been little analysis of the reliability of such methods. Reliability is determined by three factors: the number of observations, the variation between physicians in their use of resources, and random variation in the scores. A study of claims data from four Massachusetts health plans demonstrates that, according to the current methods of physician cost profiling, the majority of physicians did not have cost profiles that met common reliability thresholds and, importantly, reliability varied significantly by specialty. Low reliability results in a substantial chance that a given physician will be misclassified as lower-cost when he or she is not, or vice versa. Such findings raise concerns about the use of cost profiling tools and the utility of their results.
