Learn how data can be used to measure value in healthcare. We’ll review the use of randomized trials along with natural experiments to provide credible estimates of the effects of healthcare delivery reforms on costs and patient health.
This presentation will
highlight how data can be used to measure value in healthcare. In
particular, the use of randomized trials, along with natural experiments that
focus on the effective random assignment of treatment to patients, can provide
credible estimates of the effects of healthcare delivery reforms on costs and
patient health. These methods also provide a framework to measure
hospital and physician quality—an increasingly important task as payment reforms
aim to “pay for quality”.
