Doctors’ On Call Assessment Tools - Doctor Tech Assessments - Accountability and Transparency

20160528-TH: Executive Summary – Abstract
This study and report is about our real world experience with one of our, if not he best, psychiatrist – Dr. David M Dobos of SoCal Kaiser Permanente. Referencing Vitals online Rate Your Doctor Experience data: Three others rated Dr. Dobos services at a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Doctor Dobos was (Circa 2000) and is a practicing Kaiser psychiatrist. For this year (2016), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded Kaiser 5 Stars with 5 being the best. Vitals stars are not the same as CMS Stars with the latter involving way more data points for its calculation. Using the Vitals method we scored our service experience with Dr. Dobos a 4.5 out of 5 stars. There is no evidence on-line as of May 26, 2016 that Dr. Dobos has reported on any of his successes for self-performance (cure rates, savings with medications, hospitalization diversions, etc,). Some doctors are now reporting that depression is now more curable than ever. We use our Results Up Front Method (RUFM) in this report.

Applying Lessons Learned
We chose RUF because it is to be presented and a post in our Blog and not a refereed paper. For this study we created some assessment tools: Doctor On Call to further flesh out our service experience, an Addressing Transparency Tool, and two assessments to investigate Dr. Dobos in relationship to technology. Doctor Dobos outscores our current psychiatrist (BSL-Control) about all but one of the assessment tools. Our current psychiatrist (BSL) is a contractor about a program that CMS rates with only 3 stars. If we don’t get time to pursue this Doctor On Call endeavor we state that Dr. Dobos’ colleague Dr. David Royce Chandler was one of our worst psychiatrists. With the lessons learned here we hope to hire a superior psychiatrist to succeed our current one. We also hope to give any new psychiatrist a heads up as to our expectations. Key to our expectations is not to experiment on us. We are still deciding whether to publish the assessments (Betas) we wrote for this study.

Why We Cipher?
Our professor, Gary Michael Zager, for Introduction to Health & Human Services taught us ethical principals. One was called a Dual Relationship. Mr. Zager says (2012) not to destroy a therapeutic relationship if it exists or existed. We are seeing BSL right now and would like to avoid burning this bridge. Thus BSL and GBDP are ciphers for a person and a program.

Statement of Intent (General for all MDOCAs)
20160602-TH: Statement of Intent
A major intent is for MSG to gain confidence about its’ External Quality Review (EQR) and sharing process. We try to share lived experience while applying MSG’s Harm Reduction Policy. We are shopping early for a new (superior) psychiatrist in order to prevent preventable losses (AKA an episode).

Predictions Using Stars - Performance Distribution

-Implied Perfection
A CMS Stars score of 5 implies perfection yet that is not the case. Scores are rounded. In the graph the area of green represents the program and staff keepers. The area in yellow represents the needs improvement - program and staff elements. The area in red implies elements that might best be replaced. As we look closer at the distribution it needs a bit of tweaking to better reflect reality. The point is: What is the true difference between a 5 Star (Kaiser) and a 3 Star (GBDP) program? How can one be used to help the other?
