Quality Measurement and Accountability for Community-Based Serious Illness Care: Synthesis Report of Convening Findings and Conclusions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The movement of U.S. health care to value-based payment presents a critical opportunity to improve accountability for the quality of serious illness care, while constraining the growth of spending. The changing incentives in the health care system are driving innovation in the delivery of serious illness care in traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage and commercial plans. Implementation of an accountability system for serious illness care is vital for ensuring that cost containment efforts do not result in undertreatment or worse quality of care for the seriously ill.In May 2017, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation convened 45 serious illness care experts and stakeholders - such as physicians, researchers, patient advocates, policy experts - in Banff, Alberta, Canada, to identify a path forward for building an accountability system for high-quality, community-based serious illness care programs. The group reached consensus on a definition of the serious illness population, the necessary components of an accountability system and guiding principles for quality measurement. In addition, convening participants identified a starter set of quality measures, future pathways for implementation of an accountability system and needed future research.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
