Association between physician-level continuity of care (BB-COC) and outcomes.

BB-COC = Bice-Boxerman continuity of care; Q = quintile.

Notes: Source is 2011 Medicare Claims Data.1 Outcomes are (1) the natural log of allowed patient charges, and (2) whether or not the beneficiary was hospitalized in in 2011. Multilevel analysis of 1,178,369 beneficiaries and 6,551 primary care physicians. Models include controls for physician and patient characteristics (see Supplemental Table 3, available at http://www.annfammed.org/content/16/6/492/suppl/DC1/).
