Performance Reports on Quality -- Prototypes, Problems, and Prospects
Abstract
In recent years, it seemed that regular performance reports on the quality of health care would soon be de facto if not de jure national policy. Several states established statewide reporting systems for hospitals. Voluntary coalitions of employers and health plans developed performance-report prototypes and began pilot testing. The Clinton administration's proposal for comprehensive health care reform1 and those of its competitors -- proposals from Representative Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) and Senator John Chafee (R-R.I.) -- included provisions for federally mandated reports on quality.Comprehensive health care reform in the United States is now dead. The prospect of a national reporting . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
