Content Study of Error Rates and EQR by Keith Torkelson, MS, BS
Success Rate’s Relationship to
Error Rate
Understanding the Relationship between Success Rate and Error Rate:
Success rate and error rate are two sides of the same coin when measuring performance,
particularly in fields like usability testing, quality control, and machine
learning. They are inversely related,
meaning that a higher success rate generally corresponds to a lower error rate,
and vice versa.

Keith “Buster” Torkelson’s Measured
Error Rates
Analysis
Dimensional analysis is a technique for checking unit consistency in
equations and converting between
units by treating them like algebraic variables that cancel out. It
involves multiplying a measurement by a conversion factor (a ratio of
equivalent quantities in different units) until the desired units remain. This
method is widely used in science and engineering to verify formulas, simplify
complex calculations, and ensure accurate
unit conversions in various applications, from physics to medicine.

Summary – My Errors
>As you can see in this paper that:
Over the course of my life I have made several quantifiable errors. I have made
even more errors that I did not
address here. I chose pedagogical errors because most of the results are objective. I learned
that it’s too late in life to really improve on my quantifiable errors with
respect to my education. From the table Keith Torkelson’s measured Error Rates you
will notice that my grade point average across all of Orange County is a 4.0. I
am most proud of my score on the quantitative portion of the GRE examination
where my quantitative score comes out to 800
out of 800 or I’m in the 99th percentile. This paper was
stimulated by the fact that one of my doctors has difficulty getting one or
more of my prescriptions right each time. I believe his errors fall mostly under
communication errors.
Errors
>While researching this paper
I found out for the first time about the ISMP or Institute for Safe Medication Practices. They take even the
smallest error seriously. I probably will not report formally to them directly
any of the errors that impact me. In this paper we offer up a standard definition for
medication error. It is proposed by the National Coordinating Council for
Medication Error Reporting and Prevention. The primary error that my doctor has
been making is communicating
what he prescribes for me to the pharmacy. On several instances he failed to
put down the number of refills. In
general his staff remedies the situation. Since 1989 when I first was put on a psychotropic
medication several doctors have made
errors. The cost was that some of these medication errors were strongly
associated with me admitted to the hospital.
Specialists and Gratitude
>In this report we address the
CMS star system. As a special topic we address
physician burnout were literature indicates there appears to be an
epidemic of physician burnout. One study indicates that physician burnout is one of the driving forces in
making medical errors. Another special topic is addressing which physician’s
specialty is the happiest. Depending on the year the five happiest specialties
change each year. Back in 1996 we attended what is called Red Meat School or basic
livestock slaughter inspection. Our average grade was 94.5 across eight areas. In
closing we address a letter that was sent to us by a compliance officer for the effort we put in on her behalf,
we were very grateful to receive
recognition. This is the end of the summary.
Mitigation
>In my effort to resolve these
errors and potential future errors we intend to identify, prioritize, and
adjust the root causes of the errors.
One of the root causes of the errors is that the doctor does not go over the prescriptions
and ping the pharmacy that
they have received all some odd 8 prescriptions each cycle. Obviously, we don’t
want errors from any of our specialists and most of them have low error rates.
When looking back at the data we have that includes errors we figure the
potential cause is how fast the doctor has to get people in and out of the office. He is needed in the short-handed
profession of psychiatry. We now get to
plan ahead for his retirement.
Solution or Fixes
>The targeted solution we have
been using is that we get a hard copy of the Visit Summary which includes any massaging of medications
and we review it before we leave the clinic. Next, if there is an error we
bring it to the attention of the clerical staff. It becomes more difficult if
we fail to leave the office without the correct prescriptions lined up. The
doctor making these errors has no
quality assurance program. We would suggest that he derives a survey based upon the
approach of an online rating service. The primary mitigation effort is that we
double check the results from the appointment before leaving the building. Once
again we’d like to be issued some sort of an assessment indicating our
satisfaction with that day’s service. The highest
risk medical errors are those associated with our sleep medications
without sleep medication we don’t sleep and if we don’t sleep we become
symptomatic of behavioral health issues then our judgment is impaired - so it
is important to get the prescriptions right.
So pretty much the fix is to expect errors and correct them on our side
as needed. A year without medication
errors would constitute a solution.

Why report on
medication errors?
Reporting medication errors is crucial for improving patient safety by
identifying system weaknesses, preventing future occurrences, and fostering a learning culture
within healthcare organizations. Detailed reports allow for root cause
analysis, enabling the implementation of preventative strategies, the development
of new protocols, and the education of healthcare professionals to reduce the
risk of harm from preventable
medication-related events.

What is a Medication Error? –
Standard Definition
The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and
Prevention (NCC MERP). "A
medication error is any preventable
event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient
harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional,
patient, or consumer. Such events may be related to professional practice,
health care products, procedures, and systems, including prescribing, order communication, product labeling,
packaging, and nomenclature, compounding, dispensing, distribution,
administration, education, monitoring, and use." “The Council” urges medication errors
researchers, software developers, and institutions to use this standard
definition to identify errors.
Taxonomy
Provides a standard language and structure when analyzing medication
error reports.
FYI - See Taxonomy
http://www.nccmerp.org/sites/default/files/taxonomy2001-07-31.pdf
See Category Index
Types of Medication Errors
The Council realized the need for a standardized categorization of errors. On July 16, 1996, the
NCC MERP adopted a Medication Error Index that classifies an error according to
the severity of the outcome. It is hoped that the index will help health care
practitioners and institutions to track
medication errors in a consistent, systematic manner.
Medication Error Index
The index considers factors such as whether the error reached the patient and, if the patient was harmed, and to what degree. The
Council encourages the use of the index in all health care delivery settings
and by researchers and vendors of medication error tracking software. The ISMP
Medication Errors Reporting Program (link is external) has implemented this
index for use in its database.

Cost of Medication
Errors
Medication errors are a significant and costly problem, both globally and in the United States. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global annual costs of $42 billion. In the U.S., estimates vary but suggest annual costs in the tens of billions of dollars, including hospital costs from adverse drug events and broader societal impacts. These costs stem from patient harm, increased length of stay, additional treatments, and lost wages and productivity.
Other Medical Errors - Indirect
Other types of medical errors
include equipment and device malfunctions, infections, communication failures between staff, patient falls, and improper patient discharge leading to
adverse outcomes. Other, more specific errors can involve birth injuries,
leaving foreign objects in a patient's body during surgery, and misinterpreting laboratory results.

Interpret 2.5 CMS
Stars
A CMS star rating of 2.5 means the
organization's performance is below
average compared to other organizations nationally, but not at the
lowest possible level. The exact interpretation depends on the type of facility or plan being
rated, such as a nursing home, home health agency, or Medicare Advantage plan.

What is the star rating of
CalOptima?
(September 15, 2023) — CalOptima Health is pleased to announce its rating of 4 stars out of 5 stars in

Ratings 2023. This is our current
(2025) insurer for health needs.
Compare NCQA with CMS Stars
Scoring
NCQA and CMS Stars are distinct
healthcare quality measurement systems: NCQA's Health Plan Ratings
(HPR) evaluate health plans across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid sectors
using HEDIS measures and
other criteria, while CMS Stars Ratings focus specifically on Medicare
Advantage and Part D plans, incorporating HEDIS, patient experience (CAHPS), and other
program-specific features to provide a 1-5 star rating. While both use national
benchmarks and score on similar measure types (outcomes, process, access) with
different weights, HPR uses a percentile-based
scoring system, and CMS Stars use a clustering algorithm for HEDIS measures. A key difference is
that CMS Stars include bonus points
for consistently high overall performance, a "Reward Factor," and
allow for direct enrollment changes based on a plan's rating, while HPR grants bonus points for achieving NCQA
Accreditation status.
For Medicare Advantage (MA) and
Part D plans
For Medicare plans, a 2.5-star rating indicates below-average
performance based on an evaluation of multiple measures.
These measures often include
Preventive care
The frequency of preventive screenings
and vaccinations depends on a person's age, gender, medical history,
and risk factors. While an annual wellness visit with a primary care provider
is recommended for all adults, specific tests and immunizations vary.
Annual Wellness Visit
Most health plans, including Medicare, cover one annual wellness visit
to create or update a personalized
prevention plan. This visit is not a traditional physical exam but
focuses on risk assessment and health goals.
Data shows that many people with long-term conditions do not receive
the recommended tests and treatments, with significant racial and ethnic
disparities in care. While utilization is slowly increasing due to programs
like Medicare's Chronic Care Management (CCM), overall adoption remains low among eligible members.
An organization's plan for handling customer complaints and appeals is
well-regarded when it is accessible, fair, timely, and focused on learning from mistakes. The
overall quality can be assessed by examining the process itself, tracking key
metrics, and reviewing the customer's experience.
Most Americans give their health plans a positive rating, but overall satisfaction is mixed and
declining among some groups. Recent studies show that satisfaction is strongly
tied to factors like affordability,
ease of access to care, and quality of customer service.
Important considerations
No matter the specific plan or provider,
it's important to remember that star ratings should not be the only factor in your decision.

Resident physicians' clinical
training and error rate: the roles of autonomy, consultation, and familiarity
with the literature
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24728954/
by E Naveh · 2015 · Cited by 18
Apr 12, 2014
Resident physicians' clinical training poses unique challenges for the delivery of safe patient care. Residents face special risks of involvement in medical errors since they have tremendous responsibility for patient care, yet they are novice practitioners in the process of learning and mastering their profession. The present study explores the relationships between residents' error rates and three clinical training methods (1) progressive independence or level of autonomy, (2) consulting the physician on call, and (3) familiarity with up-to-date medical literature, and whether these relationships vary among the specialties of surgery and internal medicine and between novice and experienced residents.
Supportive and Judgment Free
142 Residents in 22 medical departments from two hospitals participated
in the study. Results of hierarchical linear model analysis indicated that
lower levels of autonomy, higher
levels of consultation with the physician on call, and higher levels of
familiarity with up-to-date medical literature were associated with lower
levels of resident's error rates.
The associations varied between internal and surgery specializations and novice
and experienced residents. In conclusion, the study results suggested that the
implicit curriculum that residents should be afforded autonomy and progressive independence with
nominal supervision in accordance with their relevant skills and experience
must be applied cautiously depending on specialization and experience. In addition,
it is necessary to create a supportive
and judgment free climate within the department that may reduce a
resident's hesitation to consult the attending physician.
Resident Physicians
Resident physicians are medical school graduates undergoing intensive, hands-on, supervised training
in a specialized field of medicine through a residency program. These programs,
also known as Graduate Medical Education (GME), provide essential clinical experience and increasing
autonomy in patient care, lasting from three to seven years or more,
depending on the chosen specialty. Residents work under the guidance of
experienced attending physicians and are referred to as interns in their first
year, providing care, performing procedures, and learning to become independent practitioners.

medicine again. Although this shouldn’t be used as an excuse not to address the
issues within medicine and medical education, the situation is not as grim as
some people make it out to be. According
to Medscape’s 2020 Physician Lifestyle and Happiness Report, the specialties
with the greatest proportion of happy
physicians were rheumatology at number one followed by general surgery,
public health & preventive medicine, allergy & immunology, and
orthopedics. The bottom five were neurology, critical care, internal medicine,
gastroenterology, and endocrinology. In

Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple-choice test administered by the U.S. Military
Entrance Processing Command to determine
a person's qualification for enlistment in the Armed Forces. The test
assesses academic abilities and predicts occupational success in various
fields, with scores determining both eligibility to enlist and placement into
specific military vocational roles.
High school students in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades often take the ASVAB, which
can be administered by computer or paper and pencil. No one service member qualifies for all duties in the
military, as every role has distinct and specific requirements. Each branch of
the U.S. Armed Forces has unique and rigorous standards for recruits, and even
more stringent requirements for certain occupations like special forces,
pilots, or explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).

Appendix
Input from Reader
^That's an interesting assessment - have you thought about a summative final paragraph addressing what you've learned from all this analysis of your own errors and error rates in general? Seems like you have a lot of data on error rates and possible causes but I wonder what you think the next steps or mitigation measures are?
Writing a Summary
A structured approach to mitigation measures involves identifying,
prioritizing, and addressing the root causes of errors. After analyzing the
error data and identifying potential causes, the next steps include creating
targeted solutions based on the type of error and then monitoring and refining
the implementation process. Prioritize
mitigation based on risk assessment. Not
all errors are equal. Prioritize which ones to tackle first based on their
potential impact and likelihood. Use a risk matrix to categorize each error
based on these factors.
