The Center for Research in Ambulatory Health Care Administration (CRAHCA) Profiling Project database analyzes physician practice patterns and variations using administrative data. This resource aids in comparing healthcare practices based on provider, patient, and organizational demographics.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Health Care Administration
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • The Center for Research in Ambulatory Health Care Administration (CRAHCA) Profiling Project database was established to analyze healthcare delivery.
  • The database aggregates data from 77 practices, integrating organizational, provider, and patient demographics with administrative information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an overview of the applications and limitations of the CRAHCA Profiling Project database.
  • To detail the database's capacity for profiling physicians using Resource Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) relative value units and identifying practice patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Data collection from 77 healthcare practices.
  • Linking organizational, provider, and patient demographic data with administrative data.
