Association Between Process-Based Quality Indicators and Mortality for Patients With Substance Use Disorders.

Significant overall and within-facility service area associations of quality indicators and mortality support their use in encouraging providers to deliver the indicated care. These indicators should be prioritized above others lacking comparably strong process-outcome associations. PMID: 28728641 [PubMed - in process]
