Jencks SF, Huff ED, Cuerdon T. Change in the quality of care delivered to Medicare beneficiaries, 1998-1999 to 2000-2001. Journal of the American Medical Association. 2003;289(3):305-312.
In an effort to assess the impact of the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) program on the quality and safety of health care in the United States, the authors tracked national- and state-level changes in performance on 22 quality indicators for care of Medicare beneficiaries using observational cross-sectional studies of national- and state-level fee-for-service data for Medicare beneficiaries during 1998-1999 (baseline) and 2000-2001 (follow-up).
