Correlations across quality-related PCP practice style measures.
| # ED visits | # Avoidable hosp. | Pr(flu vaccine = 1) | Pr(diabetes care = 1) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| # ED visits | 1 | |||
| # Avoidable hospitalizations | 0.280 (0.272, 0.281) | 1 | ||
| Pr(flu vaccine = 1) | −0.027 (−0.032, −0.022) | −0.011 (−0.016, −0.006) | 1 | |
| Pr(recommend diabetes care = 1) | −0.025 (−0.030, −0.020) | −0.020 (−0.025, −0.015) | 0.075 (0.070, 0.080) | 1 |
Notes: This table presents correlations across PCP fixed effects forour four quality ofcare measures. Using our analysis sample, we estimate these fixed effects from a health care production function that includes patient fixed effects and time-varying patient characteristics (i.e., Medicare enrollment information and chronic conditions). We report estimates for the correlations across the quality of care practice styles along with their 95% confidence intervals.
