* This measure rate is based on a review of a sample of patients statewide and is not available for individual medical groups. For more information about these measures, please see Questions and Answers. ** This measure is reported at the state level only. Difference in results among medical groups could be due to different ways the groups bill health plans for this service. While the performance score for any one group may not be accurate, across the state there is significant room for improvement in the correct use of antibiotics for adults with acute bronchitis. |
