Quantile Regression Estimates of the Effect of Hospital Value-Based Purchasing on Clinical Process and Patient Experience Performance
| Percentile | Effect Estimate (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Process | Patient Experience | |
| 5th | −0.26 (−1.23, 0.71) | −0.23 (−0.92, 0.46) |
| 10th | −0.45 (−1.03, 0.13) | −0.85 (−2.13, 0.42) |
| 25th | 0.11 (−0.76, 0.97) | −0.61 (−1.14, −0.08) |
| 50th | −0.50 (−1.31, 0.32) | −0.09 (−0.71, 0.54) |
| 75th | −0.13 (−0.78, 0.53) | −0.15 (−0.84, 0.55) |
| 90th | −0.24 (−1.27, 0.79) | −0.51 (−1.44, 0.43) |
| 95th | 0.35 (−1.76, 2.46) | −0.06 (−1.15, 1.02) |
Note. No effects were significant at p < .05. Clinical process models include 21,287 observations from 3,041 hospitals; patient experience models include 15,315 observations from 3,063 hospitals. 95% CIs based are based on block-bootstrap standard errors. Estimates are based on models with controls for measure mix and using the matched comparison group.
