What do mortality studies reveal about hospital volume, teaching status, and ownership?

Abstract

Numerous recent studies use risk-adjusted patient mortality rates to measure hospital performance, focusing on such hospital characteristics as volume of patients, teaching status, and ownership. This article summarizes the empirical findings of these studies, critiques their methods and models, and offers recommendations for overcoming several obstacles to meaningful correlation of patient outcomes and provider performance.
