Abstract

As discussed here, HCFA mortality information is not a simple index of hospital performance. The data included are just one indicator of patient outcome for just one group of the total in-patient hospital population. With growing public interest in the quality of healthcare, however, it is in a hospital's best interest to analyze HCFA mortality data and respond to public inquiries regarding quality of care.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
