Use of Medicare data to identify team-based primary care: is it possible?
This study’s goal was to determine if Medicare data can be used to identify type and degree of collaboration between primary care providers (PCPs), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in a team care model. Researchers surveyed 63 primary care practices in Texas and linked the survey results to 2015 100% Medicare data. They measured sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of dyad teams in Medicare data. They found a higher PPV between MD-nurse practitioner/physician assistant pairs than for MD-MD pairs. There was low sensitivity over all (27.8%), but specificity was 91.7% and PPV 72.2%.
