  • Title: Physician profiling: trends and implications.
    Author: Ruffin M.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1995 Nov; 21(11):34-7. PubMed ID: 10153733.
    Abstract:
    In the October 1995 issue of Physician Executive, the author discussed the general notions of profiling of professionals, comparing the emerging methods of profiling of physicians to methods already in place for profiling professional athletes, investment bankers, and others. In this issue, the author provides details on specific methodologies in place for profiling physicians. While the science of profiling may be in its infancy, managed care organizations and third-party payers are clearly demanding more precise and useful information on the practice patterns of the physicians they hire or contract with.
