Clinical Performance Measurement During Case Review (see examples below)

Example A: Commonly Used Overall Rating Method

This assessment, limited to an overall score, classifies the review decision, but does not measure clinical performance.

Example B: Sample Methodology and Rating Scale for Measuring Clinical Performance

Multiple elements of clinical performance are rated on a 5 point scale from Best to Worst. Page one of several.

cf: Rubin HR et al. Guidelines for Structured Implicit Review of Diverse Medical and Surgical Conditions. RAND; 1989 N-30066-HCFA.
