Abbreviated Care‐Process Quality Indicator Sets Linked with Survival and Functional Status Benefit in Older Adults Under Ambulatory Care

Abstract: Objectives Better quality-of-care measured by 140 care-process quality indicators (QIs) from the Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders Study (ACOVE-1) predicts better survival. A subsequent study (ACOVE-2) reduced the measures to 69 ambulatory-care QIs. We identified further need to prioritize and reduce the QIs to facilitate future quality improvement efforts. We aimed to identify subsets of ambulatory QIs associated with better survival and physical function outcomes. Design Observational cohort study Sett… Show more

“…In contrast, the current results found a relationship with survival, possibly because of the older age of the sample, which would have resulted in greater mortality in general, thereby affording better power for detecting associations. One other study of older adults, the Assessing the Care of Vulnerable Elders study, also reported that composite care process measures (including but not limited to DM care processes) measured using chart review in older U.S. community‐dwelling adults in primary care were associated with short‐term survival and better functional status, independent of age at baseline.…”

“…18,29,30 Delirium prevention and mobility promotion are two high-priority areas of care for geriatric orthopedic surgery patients. 4,12,31 Therefore, we categorized the QIs into three mutually exclusive subtypes: geriatric condition-based care (e.g., delirium screening) versus non-geriatric care (e.g., thrombosis prophylaxis), delirium care (versus all other care), and care to promote mobility (versus all other care).…”
