  1. Quality of Care B Group VII

  2. 1) Public Policy Problem • Measuring quality of care has unintended consequences.

  3. 2) Dimensions of the problem of UnintendedConsequences

  4. 3) Rationale for targeting ‘unintended consequences’ • We do not know if quality measures improve care • Performance measures are not accurate for every type of interaction • Performance measures are adding to the cost of care.

  5. 4) Stakeholders “Do what you want - just make it easy for me” Patients – AARP, patient advocacy groups Providers Facilities - long term/acute/ambulatory Businesses Insurance companies (keep it cheap, please) Regulatory bodies – CMS, JCAHO

  6. 5) Prerequisites • The quality measure is evidence based, or will contribute evidence to future developments in health care

  7. 5a) National Action Plan • To prevent unintentional consequences, implementation of a quality measure must be preceded by a transparent process of field testing done in demographically representative sites and must include: • Time and staff required (collect, collate, report…) • Risk of increased testing • Plan for useful interpretation, followed by communication to stakeholders
