Researchers at the University of California Berkeley revealed details of one of the first studies to look at measures of quality performance at medical groups nationwide. The team examined 700 groups across the country and found wide variations in quality between the top-performing and poorest groups. The research, which appears in the August issue of Managed Care Research and Review, studies six care dimensions including care management, health promotion, disease prevention, physician turnover, use of electronic medical records and financial stability.
