Clinical Registries and Evidence-Based Care Pathways Raising the Bar for Meaningful Measurement and Delivery of Value-Based Care

摘要

Unfortunately, most present value incentives are based on largely inaccurate or irrelevant health care metrics. Process measures are assumed to be accurate proxies for true patient outcome, despite the fact that many lack proven validity. Administrative data generally used to document performance is often inaccurate or incomplete. Furthermore, many large data repositories and programs often emphasize only the cost side of the value equation. Simply put, existing value measurement tools do not reflect aspects of care relevant to patients, and have yet been demonstrated to improve care.
