Putting U.S. Health Care on the Right Track

Cortese, Denis A., Korsmo, Jeffrey O.·2009·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Americans do not consistently receive high-value health care. Collectively, our country spends more on health care than any other nation, but our people do not receive the best outcomes, safety, service, or access in return. Although some organizations, regions, and states deliver high-quality, affordable care, many do not. It's time to make high-value health care the norm in the United States.To reach that goal, we must hold physicians and other providers accountable for providing high-value health care, defined in terms of both quality and cost: value=quality÷cost. In this equation, quality includes clinical outcomes, safety, and patient-reported satisfaction, and cost . . .

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.
