1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThe concept of shifting from volume (i.e., billing for as many patients and services as possible) to value (i.e., reducing costs while improving quality) has been a key underpinning of the development of accountable care organizations (ACOs), yet the cultural change necessary to make this shift has been previously unexplored. DATA SOURCES/STUDY

settingPrimary data collected through site visits to four private sector ACOs. STUDY

designCross-sectional, semi-structured interview study with analysis done at the ACO level to learn about ACO development. DATA COLLECTION: One hundred and forty-eight interviews recorded and transcribed verbatim followed by rigorous qualitative analysis using a grounded theory approach. PRINCIPAL

findingsThe importance of shifting organizational culture from volume to value was emphasized across sites and interviewees, particularly when defining an ACO; describing the shift in organizational focus to value; and discussing how to create value by emphasizing quality over volume. Value was viewed as more than cost-benefit, but rather encapsulated a paradigmatic cultural change in the way care is provided.

conclusionsWe found that moving from volume to value is central to the culture change required of an ACO. Our findings can inform future efforts that aim to create a more effective value-based health care system.
