TL;DR
There is no systematic bias against operating on high-risk coronary artery bypass graft patients in the risk-adjusted performance system in New York, and hospitals and surgeons with the lowestrisk-adjusted mortality for all cases also had the lowest risk- adjusted mortality for high- risk cases.
Abstract
The authors conclude that there is no systematic bias against operating on high-risk coronary artery bypass graft patients in the risk-adjusted performance system in New York.

The arguments in favor of the scorecard approach from the clinical medicine viewpoint are that the process of measuring outcome provides a formal approach to improving individual decision making and system-wide allocation of resources, as shown in other complex work environments with the adoption of the Deming method of continuous quality improvement.

The experience of one hospital in New York State whose results showed a higher than expected surgical mortality is described, with a focused effort to optimize the management of patients, resulting in zero mortality for emergency coronary artery bypass grafting during the following year.

Risk-adjusted outcomes for CABG patients derived from administrative data exhibit substantial patterns of consistency, which cannot be detected for low-risk patients but are evident for the top quartile of patients stratified by risk.
