“…New York) were less likely to undergo a PCI procedure if they were in shock [ 34 ]. Public reporting of CABG mortality in New York led to an increase of sicker patients being referred to the adjacent state Ohio [ 35 ].

“…A common remark heard by doctors is that they worry about case-mix correction and that a negative outcome compared with others can be explained by the more difficult patient population served. A good case-mix correction applied in crude data could change the compared clinical outcome and is important to avoid unintended consequences [ 35 , 41 , 42 ]. Furthermore, it is important to remember that quality indicators are just an indication of the real quality of care.…”

The assessment of quality of care is becoming increasingly important in healthcare, both globally and in the Netherlands. The Dutch Minister of Health declared 2015 to be the year of transparency, thereby aiming to improve quality of care by transparent reporting of outcome data. With the increasing importance of transparency, knowledge on quality measurement will be essential for a cardiologist in daily clinical care. To that end, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Dutch healthcare structure, quality indicators and the current and future assessment of quality of cardiac care in the Netherlands.

“…PPR practice could also be improved. Wasfy et al 55 have argued for a shift in PPR focus from procedures to disease-based population health. Positive impacts on patients undergoing the relevant procedures may obscure the fact that negative effects may, as an indirect consequence, occur in patients not undergoing the relevant procedure.…”
