Associations between quality measures and outcomes for children hospitalized with bronchiolitis.
The authors used adherence to the Pediatric Respiratory Illness Measurement System (PRIMES) indicators to evaluate the strength of associations for individual indicators with length of stay (LOS) and cost for bronchiolitis. They found that three indicators were significantly associated with shorter LOS and lower cost, while two underuse indicators were associated with higher cost. They concluded that a subset of PRIMES quality indicators for bronchiolitis were strongly associated with improved outcomes and can serve as important measures for future quality improvement efforts.
