The appendices to the final report provide detailed information about the data, methods, analyses, and findings from the independent evaluation of the five years of CPC+ for the 2,905 practices in regions that began CPC+ in 2017.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS's) Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPi) was the largest national-scale practice transformation model.
The Appendices to the Fourth Annual Report provide detailed information about the data, methods, analyses, and findings from the independent evaluation of the first four years of CPC+ for the practices that began the model in 2017.
This paper meta-analyzes 12 heterogeneous studies that examine bias in the comparative interrupted time-series design (CITS) that is often used to evaluate the effects of social policy interventions.
From 2012 to 2015, Sanford Health, a large health care system, integrated behavioral health services and chronic condition care management in some of its primary care practices in the Dakotas and rural Minnesota.
We test RD’s validity across 15 studies, each of which compared impact estimates from RD with those from a corresponding RCT. We find bias below 0.01 standard deviations on average, and below 0.07 by study based on results shrunken to capitalize on information from the other studies.
Learning health systems use routinely collected electronic health data (EHD) to advance knowledge and support continuous learning.
The third paper in a series on how learning health systems can use routinely collected electronic health data (EHD) to advance knowledge and support continuous learning, this review describes how analytical methods for individual-level electronic health data EHD, including regression approaches, interrupted...
Even if demonstrated in a randomized trial, successful results from one test may not replicate in other settings or time periods.
This is an interim evaluation report for the Partnership for Patients (PfP) campaign. The goals of the evaluation were to assess the reduction in inpatient harms and readmissions during the period 2011–2014, and to assess, if possible, the contribution that PfP made to those reductions.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) directed nearly US$29.2 million to comparative effectiveness research (CER) methods development.
The goal of the evaluation is to assess the harm reduction during the period when all three engines (CMMI, federal partners, and private partners) were engaged simultaneously in an extraordinary effort to meet the common goals.

This study compares key patient outcomes at Brand New Day, a Medicare SNP for dual eligibles with severe mental illness, under two alternatives—routine care (services routinely provided at the plan before the study) and enhanced care (more frequent or more intensive services)—for each of 11 care components....
The study findings suggest that only one of the interventions tested (more frequent routine contacts and medication review) appeared to have led to improved outcomes, but the lack of consistency of favorable findings across outcomes for this intervention, and the anomalous finding for the teachback method,...
This paper identifies opportunities for using multifactorial designs and electronic health record data to evaluate quality improvement efforts in physicians' practices.
This brief focuses on using efficient orthogonal designs to evaluate patient-centered medical home (PCMH) models.
Using data from patients surveyed after primary care provider visits, this working paper found patients had favorable perceptions of electronic health records (EHRs). Patients believed that EHRs improved the quality of care, and most were not concerned with confidentiality of records.
