Download or read book Improving Patient Decision making in Health Care written by Shannon Brownlee and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, a collaborative project with the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation, looks at the variation in surgical rates in 306 hospital referral regions across the United States (a hospital referral region is a large health care market containing at least one referral hospital). In the Appendix, patients can find the rates for ten different surgical procedures and one test in 12 different hospital referral regions and 166 hospital service areas in the New England region (a hospital service area encompasses the geographic area served by a relatively small number of hospitals). Other editions will look at variation in the rates of these procedures in other regions. Data for the entire nation, encompassing more than 3,400 hospital service areas, can be found on the Dartmouth Atlas web site (www.dartmouthatlas.org).This report is divided into three parts. The first section, "The Importance of Choice in Health Care," explains the concept of shared decision-making, a process that helps patients understand their choices fully and allows them to share treatment decisions with their clinicians. The second section, "Variation in Preference-Sensitive Care," briefly describes the treatment choices facing patients with eight different conditions, all of which can--but do not have to be--treated with surgery. The last section, "Ensuring Patients Get the Care They Need and Want," discusses steps patients can take to make sure they get the care they want and need. It also discusses how physicians and other clinicians can support shared decision-making to ensure that patients make fully informed choices. When done right, shared decision-making results in a better decision: a personalized choice based on the best scientific evidence and the patient's own values.

Book excerpt: This short Atlas report updated measures of Medicare expenditures, end-of-life care, readmission rates, and the quality of ambulatory care using 2018 Medicare claims data. There are some hopeful signs in the trends; inflation adjusted Medicare expenditures per enrollee were relatively constant--one of the few cases in health care where expenditures per person have not grown--while the influence of "outlier" regions such as Miami and McAllen, Texas has diminished. Readmission rates have declined, while quality measures have risen. Despite these aggregate improvements, however, changes over time in expenditures, readmission rates, and quality of care continue to exhibit wide variation, with little change in the interquartile ranges (the ratio of spending and other measures between the 75th to the 25th percentile HRR). Furthermore, the averages mask considerable geographic variability in changes over time. In some regions, for example, rates of mammography rose, while in others they fell. Documenting these changes over time is essential for providers and policymakers to understand whether their efforts to reduce expenditures and improve quality have been successful; a more difficult question is why some regions improved so much, while others did not.

Download or read book Forum Session Announcement Geographic Variation in Health Care Spending written by and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Areas in the Deep South and the north Atlantic region appear in the dark- est color, indicating the highest spending. [...] This regional variation has supported the belief that Medicare spending could be reduced by 29 percent, with no diminu- tion in quality of care, if spending in all areas resembled that in low spending areas of the country.2 While this claim has piqued the in- terest of policymakers, it has also worried providers and others who fear indiscriminate reductions in Medicare payments or services. [...] How much can be attributed to prices paid for health care services; the illness burdens of popula- tions; social determinants of health like education, poverty, and race; or provider responses to the financial incentives in fee-for-service medicine? Researchers affiliated with The Dartmouth Atlas have cre- ated an extensive body of work designed to identify the causes of the variation and measure. [...] Even as the research continues, the policy proposals to reduce the "excess" spending illustrated by The Dartmouth Atlas circulate. [...] Even though the dramatic differen- ces in spending across the country have been used as evidence that the level or growth in spending could be lowered without hurting quality of care, most of the variation remains unexplained.
