Use of insurance claims data in measuring quality of care.

Abstract

This article discusses data that might be used for measuring quality of care, for health care administrative purposes, and for tracking the use of technologies. The advantages and limitations of administrative data banks for research purposes and some process-of-care and outcome analysis are noted. Three important obstacles to their use--reliability of diagnosis and service information, unique patient identifiers, and provider identifiers--are discussed briefly.
