Kidney transplant may give better quality of life to patients.
Medicare payment allows for 6 counseling sessions of patients with end-stage renal disease.
For-profit centers were less likely to consider their patients eligible for KT, less likely to spend >20 min on KT education and educate the patients about KT more than once, or involve the patient’s family.
Response rate
Physician perception of how their time is spent.
There are fewer patients from for-profit centers on the kidney transplant list. Patients and their families in these centers receive less education about the option of kidney transplant. High volume practices were less likely to educate patients about kidney dialysis.
Patient mix: Insurance, age, and race were also examined.
Completea literature review of at least 4 sources that relate to Quality vs Access of Care (see background info provided below). Your sources must be published in a peer reviewed journal and at least three of the four should be primary studies. Instead of writing the literature review as a formal paper, use the provided template to complete the assignment. Fill in each column completely and succinctly. Make sure to use proper AMA citations.
background info: Case Study: Quality vs. Access
The Affordable Care Act raised the Medicaid reimbursement levels to Medicare levels, resulting in improved appointment availability for Medicaid recipients. One of the components of the Affordable Care Act now coming into effect is the reporting of quality measurements and tying these into reimbursement. Some of the measurements are subjective, such as patient satisfaction, while others are quantitative, such as percentage of patients with their diabetes under control. Patient adherence to treatment plans has been shown to be as low as 40%. Opponents of the rating system say this system will result in more difficult and low socio-economic group patients being turned away by providers.
· How could the payment system be modified to reward quality of care but not result in reduced access to those in lower socio-economic groups or with poorer health?
