Reducing practice variation in clinically complex patient populations is one of the biggest challenges in medicine. Paidos Health Management Services has released a fascinating nationwide review of more than 13,000 premature and other medically complex newborns. The report--an invaluable benchmarking tool--demonstrates that variation often leads to less-than-optimal outcomes for newborns and unnecessary costs to the health care system.
