For this study, researchers assessed the quality performance of 351 cardiologists at 48 hospitals in New York. The outcome measure used was risk-adjusted mortality rates for nonemergent PCI from 1998-2007. Researchers sought to find any changes in market share for hospitals and cardiologists and physicians leaving practice.
Their analysis showed quality performance and ranking did not affect hospitals’ or physicians’ market share or influence physicians to leave practice.
