QUALITY OF CARE MEASURES FOR CARDIOVASCULAR PATIENTS

描述：此应用程序建议使用各种数据源来 制定、实施和评估一套心血管表现 在各种健康计划中采取措施。它将专注于开发 针对一组相互关联的心血管疾病的措施(即急性 心肌梗死、充血性心力衰竭和高血压)。这个 项目由两个阶段组成。第一阶段将是开发和试点 对这些措施的测试。目标是开发和实施方法 对于1)验证措施；2)评估其效用/重要性 计划、消费者和雇主；3)确定征收成本和 健康计划的执行情况；以及4)建立报告 向有关部门通报措施结果的机制 派对。数据将在以下三个健康计划中收集和报告 这段时间。在第一阶段结束时，数据将在 与1)消费者对信息产品的调查相结合，以及 2)与消费者、雇主和计划代表一起修改德尔福 确定在第二阶段实施中应使用哪些措施。

Description: This application proposes to use various data sources to develop, implement, and evaluate a set of cardiovascular performance measures across a variety of health plans. It would focus on developing measures for a group of interrelated cardiovascular conditions (i.e., acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and hypertension). The project consists of two phases. Phase I will be a development and pilot test of the measures. The goals are to develop and implement methodologies for 1) validating the measures; 2) assessing their utility/importance to plans, consumers, and employers; 3) determining the cost of collection and implementation to the health plans; and 4) establishing a reporting mechanism for communicating the results of the measures to the relevant parties. Data will be collected and reported in three health plans during this period. At the end of phase I, the data will be analyzed in conjunction with 1) surveys from consumers of the information produce, and 2) a modified Delphi with consumers, employers, and plan representatives to determine which measures should be used in the phase II implementation.
