Case‐Mix Adjustment of Multidimensional Patient‐Reported Outcomes to Assess Hospital Performance

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multidimensional patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to compare the performance of health care providers. Meaningful comparisons require the data to be adjusted for differences in case‐mix. The common approach in the literature is to aggregate PROM data into univariate summary scores prior to case‐mix adjustment. In
