Role: Principal investigator (subcontractor to Stanford University) NIH/National Institute on Aging grant R03 AG16019 9/1/98-8/31/99 Thromboembolism after Illness or Surgery in the Elderly The objective of this project was to use existing data sets to estimate the incidence of thromboembolic complications within the first 3 months after a wide variety of different operations and a spectrum of medical illnesses requiring hospitalization in the elderly. Role: Co-investigator (Richard White, UC Davis, PI) Agency for Healthcare Research Quality (AHRQ) grant R18 HS10985 9/30/00-8/31/04 Information about Quality in a Randomized Evaluation The objectives of this project are to: 1) identify factors associated with consumers' use of employer-disseminated information about health plan and medical group performance; 2) determine whether and how consumers use such information during open enrollment; 3) use qualitative methods to explore why consumers consistently request quality information, but then fail to use it; and why they claim to value quality, but then base their decisions largely on price; 4) design and implement an intensive program for disseminating quality information to receptive or "vulnerable" subpopulations; and 5) evaluate the impact of this program by randomizing members of a large purchasing organization to receive existing quality information with or without this supplemental program. Role: Principal investigator Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) grant R29 HS08574 9/30/94-10/31/99 The Outcomes of Hospital Outcome Studies The objectives of this project were to: 1) evaluate the impact of publicly released hospital outcomes data on AMI, diskectomies, and deliveries in CA, and data on CABG and PTCA in NY, on hospital volumes and referral patterns; 2) evaluate whether this impact varies by age, gender, race/ethnicity, insurance source, diagnostic category, urgency of admission, or market characteristics; 3) explore how hospitals in CA and NY have used outcomes data, and to solicit feedback concerning the optimal content and format of outcomes reports; 4) explore how other interest groups, such as consumer organizations and purchasers, have used outcomes data, and to solicit similar feedback; and (5) to apply these results in developing a new generation of hospital outcome studies that will be more responsive to the needs of consumers, providers, and purchasers.
