In November 1999, the Mid-Atlantic Renal Coalitions (MARC) developed and distributed its first version of a facility-specific Profile Report to the medical directors and head nurses of dialysis facilities in Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. The profiles were distributed to support the facilities' internal quality improvement efforts and were not intended to be released as public documents. Facility characteristic and profiling indicators were selected based on the availability, reliability, and value of the data. The Profile Report consisted of 2 data displays with corresponding definition tables. An evaluation mechanism was discussed, but it was determined that the initial report would not be formally evaluated and that this would be included as a feature of future versions. Future versions will be expanded, as additional data become available, and will include rankings and data trending where appropriate.
1999年11月，中大西洋肾脏联盟（MARC）为华盛顿特区、马里兰州、弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州透析机构的医疗主任和护士长制定并分发了第一版机构特定概况报告。这些概况报告是为支持各机构的内部质量改进工作而分发的，并非作为公共文件发布。机构特征和概况指标是根据数据的可得性、可靠性和价值选定的。概况报告由2个数据展示及相应的定义表组成。讨论了一种评估机制，但决定对初始报告不进行正式评估，这将作为未来版本的一个特点。随着更多数据可用，未来版本将得到扩充，并将在适当情况下纳入排名和数据趋势分析。
