Crude and adjusted rates were estimated for the 2006-2009 period. Multivariate regression models and direct standardization procedures were used to control for potential confounding due to individual characteristics. Variable life-adjusted display charts were developed, and 2008-2009 results were compared with those from 2006-2007.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Results of 54 outcome indicators were published online at <url>http://www.epidemiologia.lazio.it/prevale10/index.php</url>.</p> <p>Public disclosure of the indicators' results caused mixed reactions but finally promoted discussion and refinement of some indicators.</p> <p>Based on the P.Re.Val.E. experience, the Italian National Agency for Regional Health Services has launched a National Outcome Program aimed at systematically comparing outcomes in hospitals and local health units in Italy.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>P.Re.Val.E. highlighted aspects of patient care that merit further investigation and monitoring to improve healthcare services and equity.</p> | ||
