A key attribute of medical model is the development of companion diagnostics, which measure levels of proteins, genes or specific mutations are used to provide a specific therapy for an individual's condition by stratifying disease status, selecting the proper medication and tailoring dosages to that patient's specific needs. Additionally, such methods can be used to assess a patient's risk factor for a number of conditions and tailor individual preventative treatments.

Analysis: VHA’s NSQIP Program VHA’s NSQIP Program The VHA’s approach to the NSQIP program was to determine, through measurement strategies, the potential for complications and outcomes of the multitudes of surgical programs in their system. Risk adjusted outcomes were used to monitor and improve surgical components for their VA patients. They included information and data from 87,078 surgical cases related to 30-day mortality and morbidity rate outcomes. Comparative studies between all of their surgical sites were conducted resulting in benchmark standards using “risk adjusted models that were developed for general, vascular, orthopedic, urological, thoracic, cardiac and other surgery specialties. Cardiac surgery models were based on previous methods published” (Khuri et al., 1998) as well.
