Valuing Improvement in Value-Based Purchasing.
Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes. 2012 Feb 21;
Borden WB, Blustein J
BACKGROUND: (absolute performance) and improvement (performance increase over time). However, improvement is defined so as to give less credit to initial low performers than initial high performers. Because initial low performers are disproportionately hospitals in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, these institutions stand to lose under Medicare's VBP proposal.Methods and ResultsWe developed an alternative improvement scale and applied it to hospital performance throughout the United States. By using 2005 to 2008 Medicare process measures for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart failure (HF), we calculated hospital scores using Medicare's proposal and our alternative. Hospital performance scores were compared across 5 locational dimensions of socioeconomic disadvantage: poverty, unemployment, physician shortage, and high school and college graduation rates. Medicare's proposed scoring system yielded higher overall scores for the most locationally advantaged hospitals for 4 of 5 dimensions in AMI and 2 of 5 dimensions for HF. By using our alternative, differences in overall scores between hospitals in the most and least advantaged areas were attenuated, with locationally advantaged hospitals having higher overall scores for 3 of 5 dimensions for AMI and 1 of 5 dimensions for HF.ConclusionsUsing an alternative VBP formula that reflects the principle of "equal credit for equal improvement" resulted in a more equitable distribution of overall payment scores, which could allow hospitals in both socioeconomically advantaged and disadvantaged areas to succeed under VBP.

Effects of Noninvasive Electroacupuncture at Hegu (LI4) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) Acupoints on Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Altern Complement Med. 2012 Feb; 18(2): 137-42
Wu LL, Su CH, Liu CF
Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of noninvasive acupoint stimulation therapy with middle-frequency electrical waves on dysmenorrhea in young women. Methods: This randomized controlled trial enrolled 66 gynecology patients who had primary dysmenorrhea, which was defined as painful menstruation without pelvic pathology (secondary dysmenorrhea). Pathology was ruled out by gynecological ultrasound examination and serum concentration of CA-125. Subjects were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=34) and control group (n=32). Main outcome measures included McGill Questionnaire Short-form and numerical rating scale for pain intensity. Acupuncture-like trancutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (AL-TENS) of middle-frequency (1000 Hz-10,000 Hz) was applied at Hegu (LI4) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) points in the experimental group twice weekly for 8 weeks; the control group received AL-TENS on nonacupoints. Pre- and postintervention results were recorded. Results: Prior to AL-TENS intervention, no significant differences were found in pain scale and pain intensity between experimental and control groups. After AL-TENS intervention, average total pain score in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (experimental group 2.9±1.2, control group 5.4±2.2; p<0.001). Significant differences were observed between experimental and control groups in average change in pain scores between pre- and postintervention (experimental group 4.5±1.9, control group 1.39±2.0; p<0.001). Pain severity at postintervention was also significantly different between groups (p<0.001). Conclusions: Noninvasive electro-acupuncture stimulation therapy with middle-frequency electric waves applied at both Hegu (LI4) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) acupoints mitigates pain in dysmenorrhea.

Non-pharmacological treatment of depressive disorders: a review of evidence-based treatment options.
Rev Recent Clin Trials. 2012 Feb 17;
Dirmaier J, Steinmann M, Krattenmacher T, Watzke B, Barghaan D, Koch U, Schulz H
Background: In recent years, the importance of guidelines and standards has increased constantly. This paper describes the development of a standard for the non-pharmacological treatment of patients with depressive disorders. Aim: The primary goal of this paper is to describe the collection and evaluation regarding evidence for various non-pharmacological treatment options for depressive disorders to establish a basis for the current development of a standard for the treatment of patients with depressive disorders. Method: In order to identify evidence-based treatment elements, a comprehensive investigation of national and international guidelines was conducted first. The extracted guidelines were then assessed with regard to aspects of methodological quality and evidence-based treatment elements. In a further step, specific and systematic literature searches for residual treatment elements were conducted. For the corresponding literature search, a hierarchical approach was chosen: current guidelines were reviewed first and systematic reviews and meta-analyses second. Psychopharmacological treatments were excluded from the analysis, because this is covered by specific guidelines. Results: The following treatment elements with an adequate level of evidence were identified: psychotherapeutic interventions, marital/couples/family therapy and counselling, inclusion of family members, psycho education, exercise, problem solving therapy, guided self-help and behavioral activation treatments. Further evidence-based methods include diagnostical treatment elements, participative decision-making, development of the therapeutic alliance, Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System for Psychotherapy, computarized cognitive behavior therapy, psychopharmacological therapy, combined psychopharmacological and psychotherapeutic therapy, electroconvulsive therapy, phototherapy, sleep deprivation, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), acupuncture and St. John's wort. Conclusion: In summary, using a hierarchical approach, it was possible to assign different levels of evidence to the various treatment options for depression.
