• Tallies of available information about the presence or absence of a factor in association with a given outcome (eg, whether or not a driver in a motor vehicle fatality had a blood alcohol concentration above acertain level).
• Population-attributable risk calculations were used to arrive at estimates based on determinations of the relative risk for a particular health outcome of a population exposed to a specified health risk
Number of Deaths and Percentage of Disability-Adjusted Life-Years Related to the 17 Leading Risk Factors in the United States in 2010 for Both Sexes Combined
Figure Legend:
• Fineberg critique– Poor representation of
socioeconomic factors– Sum of the effects of risk
factors exceeds 100%– Method works through
diagnosis rather than total mortality

What Are the Underlying Causes of Death in the United States?From Schroeder, N Engl J Med 2007; 357:1221-1228
• A variety of different analyses consider the factors underlying the most common cause of death.
• Across studies, the high estimate for the benefits of health care is 20%, with most studies estimating around 10%.

ATTRIBUTABLE TO BEHAVIORAL FACTORS
NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO BEHAVIORAL FACTORS
Need for Research Studies
♦ Most studies use their own measures, often unknown characteristics and quite different measures for same construct
♦ Without standard or more harmonized measures, difficult to do reviews, syntheses, compare across studies
In the billions of dollars spent on EHRs in last several years, one thing is missing: Patient-Reported Measures
Advent of patient-centered medical home and “meaningful use” of EHRs
Impossible to provide patient-centered care if no patient measures, goals, preferences, concerns collected
With recent advances in measurement, meaningful use incentives, time is right
Need for Primary Care
Domains and Items for Patient Health Update
Why Use IOM?• In order to achieve harmonization, we must come to
consensus on– Which domains should be measured
• Must develop criteria for identifying domains– Examine both data elements and mechanisms for
data collection using evidence from the research as well as input from key stakeholders
• EHR vendors; • government, • health and technology agencies;• the private health care industry
