Toward the Development of Integrative Risk-Adjusted Measures of Quality Using Large Clinical Data Bases

The Case of Anesthesia Services

Steven T. Fleming

University of Missouri-Columbia

This article describes a process to risk-adjust multiple outcomes of care and aggregate them into integrative measures ofquality. A methodology is outlined for anesthesia services which is designed to use the new data base that is being constructed by the American Association for Nurse Anesthetists. Most of the methods should apply to otherhealthprofessions as well if outcomes of care and risk factors can be identified. The basic approach is to choose either exemplary or adverse outcomes of care which are under the control of the provider and to standardize these outcomes to take into consideration multiple risk factors.
