Collecting and comparing health outcomes
========================================
I will shortly be undertaking a study comparing the use of health outcomes
in improving health care quality in the UK and California. I am trying to
find as many schemes (large and small) as possible.
Do you know of any scheme or project or initiative which uses comparisons of
health outcomes across different provider units? These schemes may be formal
or informal, top-down or bottom-up, long established or brand new. The
important thing is that they should produce (never mind the use!)
comparisons of one or more health outcomes (risk-adjusted or otherwise) from
two or more provider units (maybe single surgeons, departments of hospitals).
In the first instance I would be most grateful for a reference or an email
address or a phone contact.
This message is primarily aimed at the UK, but if you know of any
Californian schemes I would certainly welcome that information.
Many thanks for any suggestions
