Inpatient Bed Tracking: State Responses to Need for Inpatient Care

States have begun to collect and post information on bed availability (i.e., create bed registries or bed tracking systems) as a tool for providers, patients, and caregivers to identify open beds more efficiently. In the absence of a bed registry, emergency room staff, patients, or other providers must call multiple hospitals or residential settin

Development of a Quality Measure for Adults with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. H. Stakeholder Feedback

In January 2015, we held four discussion groups with clinicians and supervisors, clients, site administrators, and health plans and payers to gather feedback on the measure's importance, face validity, usefulness, and feasibility. During this time, we also gathered feedback from site coordinators. Below, we summarize key themes identified across t

Development of a Quality Measure for Adults with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. G. Results of Sensitivity and Specificity Analyses

To begin to understand the measure's validity, we calculated its sensitivity and specificity. For the purposes of this investigation, sensitivity is defined as the proportion of clinicians identified by clients or the clinicians themselves as high performers in the delivery of evidence-based psychotherapy when compared to supervisor scores.

F. Approach to Creating a Measure Score

Development of a Quality Measure for Adults with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. F. Approach to Creating a Measure Score

In order for a measure to be useful for performance and accountability purposes, the measure must discriminate performance and there must be a mechanism for scoring it to identify individuals who delivery evidence-based psychotherapy. As an initial approach to developing a measure score, we created standardized factor scores for each of the five f

Development of a Quality Measure for Adults with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. B. Exploratory Factor Analysis

To identify the underlying factor structure of the survey, we fit a series of EFA models with varying numbers of latent factors (5, 6, 7, and 8). We examined the models' statistical fit and how well they corresponded to our theoretical understanding of the underlying constructs of evidence-based psychotherapy for PTSD.
