Dr. Dudley's major research interests include developing measures of quality and efficiency of care, assessing the impact of value-based purchasing by employers and health plans, the consumer role in value-based purchasing, and financial risk adjustment (adjusting premiums and capitation rates to reflect the severity of illness of enrollees).
He has served as a consultant on health policy issues to the Institute of Medicine's National Roundtable on Quality of Care, Committee on Quality of Health Care in America, and National Cancer Policy Board, to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, to the World Health Organization, to the Pacific Business Group on Health, General Motors, the Leapfrog Group and other large employers, and to the American Thoracic Society and other medical societies.
He has three primary projects currently. The California Intensive Care Outcomes (CALICO) project involves developing reports of hospital-specific ICU quality of care and efficiency for all hospitals with ICUs in California. The California Hospital Assessment and Reporting Task Force (CHART), which he leads, has convened representatives of consumers, purchasers, health plans, and hospitals in California to establish a consensus, universal, robust hospital performance reporting system. The award-winning CHART web site, www.CalHospitalCompare.org, has received over 1.5 million page views in the last year. Recently, he also authored the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Decision Guide on Pay-for-Performance and its Decision Guide on Consumer Incentives. In 2005, he received the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. |
