We compared the performance of the claims model over time in various validation cohorts, calculating similar model fit indices as those used in the derivation and validation samples.
However, the diagnostic performance of outpatient claims in our jurisdiction is notoriously poor.
Factors influencing the performance of claims-based comorbidity measures include the dataset, studied population, outcome, and data periods [ 7, 19].
These concerns, however, highlight the importance of maximizing the performance of claims-based algorithms by assessing their validity, such as has been done in this study.
Under these circumstances, performance standards allow the characteristics and functional attributes of a proprietary method or technique to be described and offer a procedure for evaluating the performance of methods claimed to be substantially similar.
Before the lowest NRL-era crowd of 3,622, hooker Friend put in a consummate wet weather performance to claim man-of-the-match honours.
Certainly, the strength of will in the performance made nonsense of claims that he has lost the dressing room.
The administrative burden associated with the introduction of the new health insurance law could explain the decreased performance concerning reimbursement of claims.
We evaluated the performance of the administrative claims model in validation cohorts using the other half of the 2000 MEDPAR data, and all claims data for each of years 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2003 (Figure 1).
Porter (2003) survey on economic performance of U.S. regions claims that regional development policies have to be particularly attuned to traded clusters because of their capability to support higher wages but also because they drive local employment and affect regional economic performances.
