The impact of measurement changes on evaluating hospital performance: the case of catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
Researchers observed that catheter-associated urinary tract infections in 592 hospitals immediately declined after federal value-based incentive program implementation, but found that this was fully attributable to a concurrent surveillance case definition revision. They found that post revision, more hospitals had favorable standardized infection ratios, likely leading to artificial inflation of their performance scores unrelated to changes in patient safety.

Do experts understand performance measures? A mixed-methods study of infection preventionists.
This study assessed expert interpretation of CLABSI quality data using a cross-sectional survey of members of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) Research Network (SRN). The investigators found that significant variability in the interpretation of CLABSI data exists among experts. They assert that this finding is likely related to data complexity, particularly with respect to risk-adjusted data. They suggest that improvements appear necessary in data sharing and public policy efforts to account for this complexity.
