| The measurement of health care performance has great potential to further advance evidence-based medicine. For many years, Mathematica has developed, tested, and implemented a wide range of health care measures intended to promote better clinical practice thereby containing costs, while improving quality. Lessons from our work along with fresh ideas about how electronic clinical data, combined with a Bayesian approach to performance reporting, can help support evidence-based clinical practice will be shared in this forum . A panel of leading health care and performance measure experts discussed intermediate and long-term approaches to strengthening the relationship between measures of health care performance and one of the many goals of these measures—to support evidence-based clinical practice. |

| Leading health care experts discussed how methods used in engineering, political science, and clinical trials research could be applied to health services research. Forum speakers illustrated how these novel evaluation methods could be used to obtain rapid-cycle feedback; more generalized findings; and a better understanding of which features of the intervention, patients served, and organizational setting make a difference. In conjunction with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), researchers from Mathematica and other organizations also developed a series of briefs, that were presented at the forum, that explore how a combination of traditional health services research and these novel methods could be used to improve evaluations of patient-centered medical homes. |
