摘要

摘要:美国联邦医疗保险(Medicare)的医院比较系统旨在通过星级评分系统和医院对比,帮助患者做出明智的医疗选择。尽管医院使用评级系统作为对质量的认可,但目前尚不清楚这些信息是否有助于消费者针对某些疾病做出具体选择。此外,该系统也没有向医院提供任何指导,说明哪些质量改进会带来更好的结果,以及为什么会这样。利用4793家医院的数据,本研究探讨了结构、过程和结果的三元关系。我们的研究结果表明,星级评级系统不足以做出特定疾病的决定。更重要的是,几乎没有证据表明结构和过程相关变量与疾病特定的临床质量结果有关。

An Evaluation of Medicare's Hospital Compare as a Decision-Making Tool for Patients and Hospitals
ABSTRACT:Medicare's Hospital Compare aims to assist patients to make informed decisions about their choice of care through its star rating systems and side-by-side comparison of hospitals. Despite the use of the rating system by hospitals as an endorsement of quality, it is not clear whether the information helps consumers make choices specific to certain diseases. Moreover, the system also does not provide any guidance to hospitals as to which quality improvements lead to better outcome and why. Using data from 4793 hospitals, this research explores the relationship using the triad of structure, process, and outcome. Our results show that the star rating system is inadequate for making disease-specific decision. More importantly, there is little evidence linking the structure and process related variables with disease specific clinical quality outcomes.
