RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Medicare's legacy quality reporting programs were consolidated into the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) in 2015. PURPOSE: The DataDerm registry of the American Academy of Dermatology was examined to understand the potential for and subsequent rate of improvement across 23 performance measures. METHODS: We examined the level of performance across 23 performance measures with at least 20 clinicians reporting on at least 50 patients' experience. We calculated the following values: the aggregate performance rate for each measure and the overall aggregate performance rate. RESULTS: The aggregate performance rate for each measure ranged from 20.4% for AAD 1 (Psoriasis: Assessment of Disease Activity), to 99.9% for measure ACMS 1 (Avoidance of Opioid Prescriptions for Reconstruction After Skin Resection). Three of 23 measures had an aggregate performance over 95%. The overall aggregate performance rate across all 23 measures was 81.2%, indicating an aggregate potential for improvement of 18.8% across the 23 measures. Nine performance measures reported across the first five years of DataDerm's existence were tracked through time to understand trends in performance through time. The performance across the nine performance measures meeting the inclusion criteria consistently improved in the initial years (2016 through 2018) of DataDerm participation and showed some variation in 2019 and 2020. CONCLUSIONS: These data provide evidence that the very act of participation in a multi-institutional registry and tracking compliance with performance measures can lead to improvements in compliance with the performance measures and therefore improvements in quality of care.

RESUMO

The utility of any database or registry depends on the completeness and accuracy of the data it contains. This report documents the validity of data elements within DataDerm, the clinical registry database of the American Academy of Dermatology. An external audit of DataDerm, performed by a third-party vendor, involved the manual review of 1098 individual patient charts from calendar year 2018 from 8 different dermatology practices that used 4 different electronic health records. At each site, 142 discrete data fields were assessed, comparing the data within DataDerm to the source data within the electronic health record. Audited data included 3 domains of data elements (diagnoses, medications, and procedures) and a performance measure ("Biopsy Reporting Time-Clinician to Patient"), which is 1 of several measures used by DataDerm as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry. Overall completeness of data was 95.3%, with a range among practices of 90.6% to 98.5%. Overall accuracy of data was 89.8%, with a range of accuracy among practices of 81.2% to 94.1%. These levels of completeness and accuracy exceed the rates in the literature for registries that are based on data that is extracted from electronic health records; and therefore, this audit validates the excellent quality of data in DataDerm.

RESUMO

The mission of the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) is to serve the public by improving the quality of ophthalmic practice through a continuing certification process that fosters excellence and encourages continual learning. Since 2001, achieving this mission has been enhanced by including public directors in the ABO governance. We review the evolution of including nonprofessional members on the governing boards of professional regulatory and self-regulatory organizations generally, provide history about the incorporation of non-professional public directors into the governance structure of the American Board of Medical Specialties and the ABO, and offer insights about the perceived impact of public directors on the ABO.

RESUMO

Patient safety focused on a reduction in both procedural and diagnostic error is the number one concern of the United States healthcare system in the 21st century. The American Board of Ophthalmology has a longstanding interest in patient safety, and in 2015, teamed with the American Academy of Ophthalmology to convene all ophthalmology subspecialties and other prominent national organizations to address patient safety in ophthalmology. This article reviews the topic and highlights concerns for ophthalmologists.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the validity of assigning suicidal individuals into differing typologies of suicidality based on their reported wish to live and wish to die. METHODS: One hundred five inpatients who reported suicidal ideation in the previous 48 hours completed a battery of assessments during inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. An algorithm was used to assign participants into 1 of 3 typologies of suicide: wish to live, ambivalent, or wish to die. Discriminant function analysis and group classification were used to predict group membership, followed by multiple analysis of variance and follow-up contrasts to measure between-group differences. MAIN RESULTS: Group classification resulted in 76% accuracy for predicting typology of suicidality based on scores from suicide-specific measures. Self-perceived risk of suicide and hopelessness were the strongest variables at differentiating between the 3 groups. Patients in the wish to die typology were less likely to report having never made a suicide attempt. CONCLUSIONS: Creating typologies of suicidality may prove useful to clinicians seeking to better differentiate among suicidal patients within a limited period of assessment.
