Introduction

• Increased use of report cards, especially in health care and education

• Two best examples:– NCLB legislation for education– NY’s publication of coronary artery bypass graft

(CABG) mortality rates for surgeons and hospitals

Disagreement about usefulness

• For: Better informed consumers make better decisions, makes markets more efficient– Choose best doctors– Provides incentives for schools and doc’s to improve care

• Against– May give incomplete evidence. Can risk adjust but not

on all characteristics– Doc’s can manipulate rankings by selecting patients with

the highest expected success rate, decreasing access to care for the sickest patients

This paper• Uses data on al heart attack patients in Medicare in from

1987-94• Impact of reports cards in NY and PA• Examines three sets of outcomes associated with report

cards– Matching of patients to providers: is there a match of the sickest

patients to best providers?– Incidence and quantity of CABG

• Do total surgeries go up or down?• Shift to healthier patients?

– Is there a substitution into other forms of treatment NOT measured by the report card?

Report Cards

• NY– Hospital specific, risk adjusted CABG mortality

rates based on 1990– Physician specific rates in 1992

• PA – hospital specific data in 1992• Effective dates – impact patient decision

making in 1991 (NY) and 1993 (PA) concerning hospitals, 1993 in both states for physicians

Data

• Population potentially impacted are those with acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) in Medicare

• Easily obtained from Medicare claims data• Large fraction treated with CABG• Selection into the sample unlikely impacted by

report cards• Physicians treating AMI likely to have multiple

treatment options (e.g., heart cath., medical treatment, etc.)
