No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Healthcare providers are routinely being assessed for metrics designed to assess the quality of the care they deliver. There is growing consensus that these measurements, which typically assess the percentage of patients meeting a specific standard of care, should be adjusted for the clinical complexity of the providers. This study will assess whether adjusting for the social complexity of the patient panel adds significantly to adjustment for clinical complexity in explaining apparent differences in quality of care provided by Primary care providers and clinics.
