Staff Recognition

Kellogg Information Systems:
Over spring break 2005, Kellogg Information Systems (KIS) staff detected and contained a security breach on the Kellogg server system. KIS staff dealt simultaneously with rebuilding affected systems; performing forensic work on the affected systems; resetting passwords of Kellogg faculty, students, and staff; assisting users with password issues; providing communication regarding the breach; as well as keeping up with their normal role of keeping the entire Kellogg system operating. This required weeks of nearly around-the-clock efforts through which the KIS staff displayed extraordinary levels of dedication and professionalism. The Kellogg community is grateful for their extraordinary efforts during this event.

“Is More Information Better? The Effects of ‘Report Cards’ on Health Care Providers” Journal of Political Economy (Vol. 111, No. 3)

Abstract: “Health care report cards – public disclosure of patient health outcomes at the level of the individual physician or hospital or both – may address important informational asymmetries in markets for health care, but they may also give doctors and hospitals incentives to decline to treat more difficult, severely ill patients. Whether reports cards are good for patients and for society depends on whether their financial and health benefits outweigh their costs in terms of the quantity, quality, and appropriateness of medical treatment that they induce. Using national data on Medicare patients at risk for cardiac surgery, we find that cardiac surgery reports cards in New York and Pennsylvania led both to selection behavior by providers and to improved matching of patients with hospitals. On net, this led to higher levels of resource use and to worse health outcomes, particularly for sicker patients. We conclude that, at least in the sort run, these report cards decreased patient and social welfare.”
