Abbreviations: BCI, bayesian credible interval; BP, blood pressure; EHR, electronic health record; MRA, medical record abstraction.

a

Prior distributions used in bayesian latent class models are provided. Equivalent normal (μ, σ2) distributions are presented for the beta (α, β) distributions.

b

Prior set 1 is based on prior elicitation from experts.

c

Prior set 2 represents diffuse priors.

d

Indicates with respect to the true (unknown) status of whether a patient received recommended care (ie, performance met or not).
