Qualificação hospitalar utilizando modelos lineares generalizados: o caso da mortalidade na revascularização do miocárdio

Abstract

Through the use of regression applied to a quality indicator, we tried to establish a method by which hospital quality could be asserted. Also exploratory work was done by comparing fixed effects regression model with a model in which the hospital was treated as a random effect. Results suggest that hospitals with the best quality indicators also have the lowest adjusted cost. These findings have important potential applications to the structuring of health systems interested in value based purchasing for the end user.
