Abstract

A special inquiry in the 2017 Economic Census for health care services asks about management practices for monitoring clinical performance in NAICS 621-623. Three questions ask (1) who sees the measures of clinical performance, (2) who chooses the clinical performance measures to collect, and (3) how frequently senior management reviews them. The Economic Census collects data from all firms known to have more than one establishment (i.e., multi-units) and randomly selects firms with one establishment (i.e., single units). This technical note examines survey response and item response to the three clinical performance questions on the forms for industries under NAICS 621-623 that are further subdivided by single- versus multi-unit status for a total of 18 different forms. These data are used to construct two simple establishment-level management scores. These evaluations help to support the use of these data to study the relationship between the health care providers’ management practices and their financial and clinical performance. For background on why this content was added and for more details on how these data can be used to construct management scores, see “Addressing Data Gaps: Four New Lines of Inquiry in the 2017 Economic Census†by Emek Basker, Randy A. Becker, Lucia Foster, T. Kirk White, and Alice Zawacki. CES Working paper 19-28. September 2019.
