The Research in a nutshell
In Health Care, Geography is Destiny
Medical practice occurs within a local context: Per capita
expenditures, resource use and utilization vary extensively
among regions, communities and health care organizations.
The Research in a nutshell
In Health Care, Geography is Destiny
Medical practice occurs within a local context: Per capita
expenditures, resource use and utilization vary extensively
among regions, communities and health care organizations.
Much of this variation is unwarranted: It isn’t explained by
illness, evidence-based medicine or patient preferences.
The causes and remedies of unwarranted variation differ
according to the category of care.
Preference-Sensitive Care
• Involves tradeoffs -- more than one treatment exists and the
outcomes are different
• Decisions should be based on the patient’s own preferences – On
the ethic of informed patient choice
• But provider opinion often determines which treatment is used

Determining the Need for Hip and Knee Arthroplasty:
The Role of Clinical Severity and Patients’ Preferences
• . . . Among those with severe arthritis, no more than 15%
were definitely willing to undergo (joint replacement), emphasizing
the importance of considering both patients’ preference and
surgical indications in evaluating need and appropriateness of
rates of surgery
Which Rate is Right?
Medical Necessity = clinically appropriate + informed patient choice
Which Rate is Right?
Medical Necessity = clinically appropriate + informed patient choice
Informed patient choice is an ethical imperative for uncovering “true”
demand for surgery & learning which rate is right.

Informed patient choice is an ethical imperative for uncovering “true”

In the absence of informed patient choice, surgeons are at risk for
operating on the wrong patient: on patients who preferred another
treatment.

Effective tools are available to improve decision quality and avoid
wrong patient surgery.
Supply-Sensitive Care
Everyday services provided mainly to patients with medical
(non-surgical) conditions: physician visits, referrals to
specialists, MRIs, laboratory tests, screening exams and
hospitalizations, and stays in ICUs
Supply-Sensitive Care
Everyday services provided mainly to patients with medical
(non surgical) conditions: physician visits, referrals to
specialists, MRIs, laboratory tests, screening exams and
hospitalizations, and stays in ICUs
At issue is the frequency of use of such care, particularly in
managing chronic illness over time: “Which rate is Right?”

Supply-sensitive care accounts for most of the more two-fold
variation in Medicare spending among regions.

A behavioral interpretation of variation in
frequency of use of supply-sensitive care
• The frequency of use is governed by the assumption that
resources should be fully utilized, i.e. that more is better.
• Specific medical theories and medical evidence play little role in
governing frequency of use.

• The frequency of use is governed by the assumption that
resources should be fully utilized, i.e. that more is better.
• Specific medical theories and medical evidence play little role in
governing frequency of use.
• In the absence of evidence and under the assumption that more is
better, available supply governs frequency of use.

Conclusion: Song et al.
The use of clinical or claims-based diagnoses in risk adjustment may
introduce important biases in comparative effectiveness studies, public
reporting and payment reforms.
Conclusion: Welch et al.
There is an inverse relationship between regional frequency of diagnosis
and the case fatality rate for chronic conditions.
Conclusion: Wennberg et al.
Adjusting for illness using HCCs, Iezzoni chronic illness and Charlson co-
morbidity index make regions with high visit rates seem to have lower
mortality and lower costs and visa versa.

  • 2. Unwarranted Variation in Health Care Delivery and the Struggle for Reform Aligning Incentives for Patient Engagement Washington D.C. May 24, 2013 John Wennberg
  • 3. The Research in a nutshell In Health Care, Geography is Destiny Medical practice occurs within a local context: Per capita expenditures, resource use and utilization vary extensively among regions, communities and health care organizations.
  • 4. The Research in a nutshell In Health Care, Geography is Destiny Medical practice occurs within a local context: Per capita expenditures, resource use and utilization vary extensively among regions, communities and health care organizations. Much of this variation is unwarranted: It isn’t explained by illness, evidence-based medicine or patient preferences. The causes and remedies of unwarranted variation differ according to the category of care.
  • 5. Preference-Sensitive Care • Involves tradeoffs -- more than one treatment exists and the outcomes are different • Decisions should be based on the patient’s own preferences – On the ethic of informed patient choice • But provider opinion often determines which treatment is used

  • 12. Determining the Need for Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: The Role of Clinical Severity and Patients’ Preferences • . . . Among those with severe arthritis, no more than 15% were definitely willing to undergo (joint replacement), emphasizing the importance of considering both patients’ preference and surgical indications in evaluating need and appropriateness of rates of surgery
  • 13. Which Rate is Right? Medical Necessity = clinically appropriate + informed patient choice
  • 14. Which Rate is Right? Medical Necessity = clinically appropriate + informed patient choice Informed patient choice is an ethical imperative for uncovering “true” demand for surgery & learning which rate is right.
  • 15. Which Rate is Right? Medical Necessity = clinically appropriate + informed patient choice Informed patient choice is an ethical imperative for uncovering “true” demand for surgery & learning which rate is right. In the absence of informed patient choice, surgeons are at risk for operating on the wrong patient: on patients who preferred another treatment.
  • 16. Which Rate is Right? Medical Necessity = clinically appropriate + informed patient choice Informed patient choice is an ethical imperative for uncovering “true” demand for surgery & learning which rate is right. In the absence of informed patient choice, surgeons are at risk for operating on the wrong patient: on patients who preferred another treatment. Effective tools are available to improve decision quality and avoid wrong patient surgery.

  • 18. Supply-Sensitive Care Everyday services provided mainly to patients with medical (non-surgical) conditions: physician visits, referrals to specialists, MRIs, laboratory tests, screening exams and hospitalizations, and stays in ICUs
  • 19. Supply-Sensitive Care Everyday services provided mainly to patients with medical (non surgical) conditions: physician visits, referrals to specialists, MRIs, laboratory tests, screening exams and hospitalizations, and stays in ICUs At issue is the frequency of use of such care, particularly in managing chronic illness over time: “Which rate is Right?”
  • 20. Supply-Sensitive Care Everyday services provided mainly to patients with medical (non surgical) conditions: physician visits, referrals to specialists, MRIs, laboratory tests, screening exams and hospitalizations, and stays in ICUs At issue is the frequency of use of such care, particularly in managing chronic illness over time: “Which rate is Right?” Supply-sensitive care accounts for most of the more two-fold variation in Medicare spending among regions.

  • 26. A behavioral interpretation of variation in frequency of use of supply-sensitive care • The frequency of use is governed by the assumption that resources should be fully utilized, i.e. that more is better. • Specific medical theories and medical evidence play little role in governing frequency of use.

  • 28. A behavioral interpretation of variation in frequency of use of supply-sensitive care • The frequency of use is governed by the assumption that resources should be fully utilized, i.e. that more is better. • Specific medical theories and medical evidence play little role in governing frequency of use. • In the absence of evidence and under the assumption that more is better, available supply governs frequency of use.
  • 29. Which Rate is “Right”? More frequent use of supply-sensitive care isn’t resulting in better outcomes:
  • 30. Which Rate is “Right”? More frequent use of supply-sensitive care isn’t resulting in better outcomes: • More than two-fold variation in frequency of use is uncorrelated with prevalence of severe chronic illness and with outcome measured by mortality.
  • 31. Which Rate is “Right”? More frequent use of supply-sensitive care isn’t resulting in better outcomes: • More than two-fold variation in frequency of use is uncorrelated with prevalence of severe chronic illness and with outcome measured by mortality. • Technical quality of care tends to be better in low use regions.

  • 37. Conclusion: Song et al. The use of clinical or claims-based diagnoses in risk adjustment may introduce important biases in comparative effectiveness studies, public reporting and payment reforms. Conclusion: Welch et al. There is an inverse relationship between regional frequency of diagnosis and the case fatality rate for chronic conditions. Conclusion: Wennberg et al. Adjusting for illness using HCCs, Iezzoni chronic illness and Charlson co- morbidity index make regions with high visit rates seem to have lower mortality and lower costs and visa versa.

Notas do Editor

  1. In the states, despite early efforts to conduct health planning, the population served by a given health care organization is not know or ignored, despite 40 years of small area analysis. In the UK, budgets and other aspects of resource allocation have more or less been made on a geographic, per capita basis. However, under the new commissioning strategy, the UK is moving away from population-based medicine.

  9. The effect of hospital bed capacity is to exercise a subliminal effect on the clinical threshold for admitting patients to hospital; the effect is seen across most acute and chronic medical conditions; but not for elective surgery, which generally isn’t correlated with regional variation in bed capacity.
