Measuring quality in diabetes care: an expert-based statistical approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a methodology for using health insurance claims data to monitor quality of care. The method uses a statistical model trained on the quality ratings of a medical expert. In a pilot study, the expert rated the quality of care received over the course of two years by 101 diabetes patients. A logistic regression model accurately identified the quality of care for 86% of the patients. Because the model uses data derived from patients' health insurance claims it can be used to monitor the care being received by a large patient population. One important use of the model is to identify potential candidates for case management, especially patients with complicated medical histories.

Importance of an alternative approach to measuring quality in a volume-to-value world: a case study of diabetes care
Background To develop a statistical tool that allows practitioners and/or their practice managers to easily select the relevant range in which volume and value are maximised. Methods Data for the study were based on 55 primary care practices that participated in the Colorado Improving Performance in Practice programme in 2014. We used two composite variables including the volume of processes ...
