Development and validation of a tool to assess emergency physicians' nontechnical skills
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Nontechnical skills are "the cognitive, social and personal resource skills that complement technical skills, and contribute to safe and efficient task performance." Our research team developed and evaluated the task of developing and validating a behavioral marker system for the observational assessment of emergency physicians' nontechnical skills.
Targeted crisis resource management training improves performance among randomized nursing and medical students

Anaesthetists' Non-Technical Skills (ANTS): Evaluation of a behavioural marker system
BACKGROUND: Non-technical skills are critical for good anaesthetic practice but are not addressed explicitly in normal training. Realization of the need to train and assess these skills is growing, but these activities must be based on properly developed skills frameworks and validated measurement tools. A prototype behavioural marker system was developed using human factors research techniques. The aim of this study was to conduct an experimental evaluation to establish its basic psychometric properties and usability.

Effect of compensation method on the behavior of primary care physicians in managed care organizations: Evidence from interviews with physicians and medical leaders in Washington State
The perceived relationship between primary care physician compensation and utilization of medical services in medical groups affiliated with one or more among six managed care organizations in the state of Washington was examined. Representatives from 67 medical group practices completed a survey designed to determine the organizational arrangements and norms that influence primary care practice and to provide information on how groups translate the payments they receive from health plans into individual physician compensation.
Primary care physician compensation method in medical groups: Does it influence the use and cost of health services for enrollees in managed care organizations?
CONTEXT: Growth of at-risk managed care contracts between health plans and medical groups has been well documented, but less is known about the nature of financial incentives within those medical groups or their effects on health care utilization.
OBJECTIVE: To test whether utilization and cost of health services per enrollee were influenced independently by the compensation method of the enrollee's primary care physician.
