Payments for Covered Outpatient Drugs Exceed Providers' Costs
GAO-01-1118: Published: Sep 21, 2001. Publicly Released: Sep 21, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8942
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Although physicians and other health care providers acknowledge that they can buy drugs for prices lower than Medicare payments, they contend that they need drug payments in excess of their actual costs to compensate for inadequate or nonexistent Medicare payments for administrating the drugs. Physicians are able to obtain Medicare-covered drugs at prices significantly below current Medicare payments, which are set at 95 percent of average wholesale prices (AWP). The prices paid by wholesalers and group purchasing organizations that would be generally available to physicians were considerably less than AWPs used to establish the Medicare payment for these drugs. The difference between these prices and AWP for physician-administered drugs in GAO's sample varied by drug. For most physician-administered drugs, the average discount from AWP ranged from 13 percent to 34 percent; two physician-administered drugs had discounts of 65 percent and 86 percent. Other suppliers are also able to buy drugs at prices that are considerably less than the AWP used to establish the applicable Medicare payment. Pharmacy suppliers were predominant billers for 10 of the high-expenditure and high-volume Medicare-covered drugs GAO analyzed. These suppliers generally provide two types of drugs--drugs administered through durable medical equipment (DME) and covered oral drugs, such as certain immunosuppressives. Also, suppliers generally receive a payment from Medicare for DME and supplies. Private and other public payers use different payment methods for drugs and their administration. Private health plans use their drug-purchase and patient volume to negotiate favorable prices for drugs and physician and supplier services related to supplying or delivering the drugs. Other public payers also use their purchasing volume along with information about actual transaction prices from private payers to lower their drug payments.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the Department of Health and Human Services issued a proposed rule regarding payment reform for Part B Drugs on Wednesday August 20, 2003 (42 CFR Part 405). The proposed rule would revise, based on one of four approaches, the current payment methodology for Medicare Part B covered drugs and biologicals that are not paid on a cost or prospective payment basis. Among those four approaches is the proposal to pay for drugs using market-based prices derived from market monitoring.
Recommendation: In order to improve the accuracy of Medicare payments for drugs and related services, the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) should establish Medicare payment levels for part-B prescription drugs and their delivery and administration that are more closely related to their costs. Payments for drugs should be set at levels that reflect actual market transaction prices and the likely acquisition cost to providers. To accomplish this, the Administrator should consider how information on market transactions already available to Health and Human Services or Veterans' Affairs may be used as a benchmark for Medicare payment levels. If the Administrator determines that legislative action would be required to use such information in setting Medicare reimbursements, he should seek this action immediately.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Section 303(d) of the Medicare Modernization Act requires the implementation of a competitive acquisition program (CAP) for Medicare Part B drugs and biologicals not paid on a cost or prospective payment system basis. Beginning with drugs administered on or after January 1, 2006, physicians will be given a choice between buying and billing these drugs under the average sales price (ASP) system or obtaining these drugs from vendors selected in a competitive bidding process.
Recommendation: In order to improve the accuracy of Medicare payments for drugs and related services, the Administrator of CMS should examine the benefits and risks of expanding the current competitive bidding demonstration projects for drugs covered under part B.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services within the Department of Health and Human Services is undertaking a number of activities to monitor access to care for Part B covered drugs. These efforts include monitoring Medicare claims data and calls into 1-800 Medicare, analyzing trends in Medicare drug reimbursement rates, conducting Regional Office environmental scanning, and issuing a contract for a 4 year study of the effects of Part B drug payment reform. These ongoing activities address the GAO recommendation.
Recommendation: In order to improve the accuracy of Medicare payments for drugs and related services, the Administrator of CMS should institute a process to monitor access to Medicare part-B covered drugs to ensure that payment changes do not negatively affect access for particular drugs, or groups of beneficiaries or in certain geographic areas.

Know your enemy While many remember Reagan for his friendly demeanor, they should also know that Reagan had a tactician's mind-set to back it up. This is evident in Reagan's actions after Yuri Andropov rose to power as leader of the Soviet Union. As Reagan's secretary of state, George Shultz, recalled on the recent Charlie Rose tribute to Reagan (which is good viewing and available online), Reagan had Shultz arrange a private meeting with the Soviet ambassador. The ambassador came to Reagan's family quarters for what was going to be a five-minute meet and greet, as his stated intention was for the ambassador to take a message of peace to Andropov. Instead of five minutes, it was well over an hour, and Reagan's probing questions demonstrated a vast knowledge of the Soviet Union for which few gave him credit. The point is simple: Knowledge is power, and it's even more effective to know more than others think you do. Coming across as a bit softer or slower than you truly are isn't always a bad thing.

Have you started bonding with your unborn baby? If so, what are you doing?
bonding with your bump
it's funny, now that I know it's a boy and saw the us pics, it's like finding out I am preggo all over again! I feel like there is a real person in there now more than ever!
We give DS a blessing every night before bed. Now DS gives the baby the same blessing. He talks right to the belly and says, "I love you baby brother." It's cute!
I think the heartburn helps us bond reminds me he's here!
Not yet - I still have trouble feeling pregnant most of the time. I have little to no desire to shop for baby stuff yet and since we don't have a name I feel like its a huge weight on me. Maybe once we know the gender it will be easier to start bonding.
yep. I am feeling baby move a lot now and that helps. Once I know the sex, it will be even better.
I have, but just recently I think. I felt really detached for a while because of our m/c last year, and I didn't want to get really excited. But finding out that I'm going to have a daughter was/is the best feeling ever. And now that I can feel her move and call her by name it makes it feel that much more real.
We haven't really done anything major...I mainly just poke around at my belly and try to feel the baby move. DH talks to my belly sometimes and I like to crank up the radio and sing to the baby in the car on the way home from work, since that tends to inspire movement. Ever since my bump has become more visible and I have been able to feel some movement, I have been feeling a lot more connected with the baby. I think once we get moved into our house and I start setting up the baby room and find out the sex, I will feel it even stronger.
Nope, not yet anyway. I'm feeling rather detached.
Yes, I'm starting to bond, against my better judgment (sadly, it was a defense mechanism for me to be detached after losing our son last year- really for anyone who's experienced a loss, I think). But I am def. starting to get attached now that we keep getting more and more good news at our appts and it looks like this is really going to happen. It's incredible and so exciting to me to think that I'm going to have a daughter. I was so unsure at first about having a girl...I didn't know what to do with a girl, lol! But now that I know for sure that it's a "she" swimming around in there, I think of her as our little baby girl!

I'm feeling the same way. Right now baby is just something that keeps me feeling crappy most days I think once we have the gender and name things will start getting more real for me.
Feeling more movement and especially seeing the ultrasound pictures made me truly feel the "reality" I guess of the pregnancy. DH and I have already bought a bunch of books, and we have been reading them to my bump haha. My friend loaned me a fetal microphone...which is just two little speakers you can stick on your tummy and a mic on the other end. We have been using that, it's fun baby usually obliges us with a fluttered or a roll while we are reading to it it's been a nice way for DH and I to bond together with the baby too!
Shamefully... nothing really for me yet. I think it's maybe because I really was wanting another girl and of course it's a boy. I'm not too worried though, it was like this with my other sons, but once they got here I was overjoyed... it's just getting to that place.

Unfortunately, we can't solve transportation problems by focusing on transportation systems alone. Rather, we must consider the combined effects with other metropolitan systems. Artificial systems, based on artificial societies and agent-modeling technology, are effective tools for this purpose. Metropolitan transportation, logistics, and ecosystems are intrinsically open, dynamic, unpredictable, and complex in their behaviors and effects. We must adopt a management and control strategy for those systems based on continuous investigation and improvement and should use computational experiments with artificial systems to overcome the difficulty of experimenting with real systems.

New York's secretive ethics board has rejected an attempt by a minority of its members to reveal how it's handing a sexual-harassment scandal in the state Assembly.
The Joint Commission on Public Ethics members say they were appalled by press reports indicating the board is avoiding the case.
Members are also criticizing a press release from Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office about the consequences if the board decided against investigating a private settlement authorized by Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
Silver approved a $103,000 agreement in June to end sexual-harassment claims against Democratic Brooklyn Assemblyman Vito Lopez.
The board also indicated at a meeting Monday that an internal rift is a threat to the continued operation of the commission.
A special prosecutor is already investigating the settlement and harassment claims against Lopez.

Great Hotel For Business
it was a great overnighter
I've stayed at this hotel before and generally it is good. However they are not too attentive to breakfast when business is slow. On this stay, there was no coffee.
My family and I had a great experience at your hotel very friendly employees,very clean room very comfortable. The only complaint that I really have is just the fact that there is no smoking section and if you smoke in the front of the building all the smoke comes directly inside to the lobby and I don't think that's fair for the other people that are staying there, there is no smoking section and if you smoke in the front of the building all the smoke comes directly inside to the lobby and I don't think that's fair for the other people that are staying there should smell smoke from front of the hotel. I hope you all enjoyed the flower arrangement!
Horrible! My wife and son stayed here in early February. The outside temperature was ten degrees outside and the heater turned on every 30 minutes and blew cold air into the room without heating it making sleep impossible even wearing a winter coat. The manager promised a refund the next day which never happened. I followed up about five times with him over the next six weeks and was always promised a refund was in the mail. I even called their corporate customer service and got the same empty promises.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Tim Mahoney releases diss track against Adam Levine
Area pop singer/songwriter Tim Mahoney, who calls himself the "King Of Almost" and whose main claim to fame was being mistaken for a girl by Adam Levine on the NBC reality show The Voice, has written a diss track, jokingly voicing his beef with the Maroon 5 crooner. "Hey Adam Levine," a song Mahoney wrote about the experience of being on the show and being eliminated from his team by Adam Levine, was posted on soundcloud three days ago. Here's the chorus, in which Mahoney pins Levine to the wall with lyrical daggers:

So, a simple, stupid question...
I can access my posts by category, for instance by going here:
Is there a similar [hidden, apparently, or non-existent] relative URL to which I can go and have my links listed out in some fashion automatically? Or, alternately, is there some [ shortcode ] I can enter on a page to output a link list with some parameters?
If not, why isn't this fairly basic functionality part of the core WP codebase? It really should be. Just my opinion. I mean, what's hte point of having an entire section of the admin panel devoted to adding links, if there's no simple way of outputting or viewing them or showing them to your end users?
I know, there are a few so-so plug-ins for it. I'm just wondering if there's some better native way of doing it that is so arcane nobody has documented it in admin panel's 'help' drop-down (which is thus not especially helpful)...
See what I'm saying?
Basically, I'd just like to be able to output a simple, stupid list of links, preferably with their descriptions. Maybe even with their URLs listed separately, if I was feeling silly... Oh, and with any and all categories assigned to the links displayed below them so people can category-browse the links. For instance clicking on the "support services" category or the "government" category.
Seems weird that different "things" (posts, links) are treated a bit differently. If there's a rolling archive of posts, it seems like there could / should be a rolling archive of links too?

Search for first Americans to plunge underwater (FL)Breaking News
James Adovasio's latest archaeological expedition to find the first Americans will require little digging.
Still, the Mercyhurst Archaeological Institute director will have to reach depths of several hundred feet.
Adovasio plans to co-lead a two-week expedition in the Gulf of Mexico at the end of the month to look for evidence of early American Indians along the ancient coast of Florida, now about 300 feet underwater, Mercyhurst College in Erie announced Monday.
"We have these little hints ... that there are potentially early sites off the coast of Florida," said Adovasio, former chairman of the University of Pittsburgh's anthropology department."That is what makes this so exciting."

Primary Examiner-Chancellor E. Harris Attorney-Seide1& Gonda ABSTRACT: An iron rest is disclosed having an open frametype iron supporting member and a support leg coupled to the frame to raise one edge of the frame clear of a support surface, the iron supporting member being coated with a self-lubricating, high melting point plastic polymeric material to prevent marring of a supported iron, sticking of an iron to the rest, buildup of starch on the rest, and other undesirable effects.
PATENTED 05229 I978 M/I/EA/TOA? DAVID LEHRMAN A Tram/71 IRON REST This invention relates to iron rests, and more particularly, to iron rests having a coating of nonsticking plastic polymeric material on certain of its parts.
Numerous constructions have been proposed for iron rests. One well-known construction employs a stamped or otherwise formed imperforate sole plate engaging element of corrosionresistant sheet material, the edges of which are wrapped around a core of fibrous insulating material such as asbestos board. Alternatively, a sheet metal backing may be provided to wholly enclose the core.
The above-described conventional iron rest is subject to several serious shortcomings. In the first place, when used with steam irons, the heat-conductive metal imperforate sole plate engaging element tends to cause condensation beneath the iron, the condensate frequently running off the support and soaking the ironing board cover and pad. Moreover, there is a tendency for starch to accumulate on the rest. Such accumulated starch is unsightly, and moreover, may be inadvertently transferred to a garment. In addition to the foregoing, the sheet metal material of conventional iron rests frequently discolors under heat and moisture, thus giving them an untidy appearance.
In one proposed construction attempting to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of conventional iron rests, an open frame member is provided for supporting the iron. A support leg coupled to the frame members supports a portion of the frame member out of contact with the supporting surface. With such an arrangement, steam from the iron escapes freely through the open frame, and the condensation problem is partially overcome. Such an arrangement does not, however, alleviate the starch buildup problem, nor does it prevent discoloration or corrosion of the rest.
Moreover, the increasing popularity with consumers of irons having sole plates coating with nonstick material has pointed up a further serious shortcoming of known iron rests of both conventional and open frame construction. When the weight of the iron is concentrated on a small supporting area, as it is in open frame type iron rests, there is a greater tendency for the rest to mar the irons sole plate. This tendency is particularly pronounced in the case of relatively soft nonstick" coatings. Thus, use of known iron rests with coated irons tends to seriously shorten the useful life of the coatings.
The present invention overcomes all of the known shortcomings of prior art iron rests by providing a rest of open frame construction, wherein the iron supporting member is itself coated with a self-lubricating nonstick material. Quite unexpectedly, the present construction has been found to overcome all of the above-mentioned shortcomings of known iron rest constructions.
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel iron re st.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel iron rest of the open frame type, and wherein an iron support member is coated with a nonstick material.
It is another object to provide a novel iron rest suitable for use with irons of all commercially available sizes.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings a fonn which is presently preferred; it being understood, however, that this invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an iron rest in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an iron rest in accordance with the invention, showing an iron in place thereon.
FIG. 3 is a bottom view showing an iron in place on the iron rest.
FIG. 4 is a side elevation view of the presently disclosed iron rest.
FIG. 5 is a view taken along the line 5-5 of FIG. 4.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like nu- .merals indicate like elements, there is seen in FIG. 1 an iron rest designated generally by the reference numeral 10.
The iron rest includes an iron support member designated generally by the reference numeral 12. The support member 12 includes a pair of spaced bar members 14 and 16, defining medial support elements. Also, the support member 12 includes a bar member defining a peripheral edge element 18. In a preferred form, the medial support elements 14 and 16 and the peripheral edge element 18 are constructed of wirelike bar stock, of round cross section.
Also, in a preferred embodiment, as is apparent from FIGS. 1 and 3--5, the medial support elements 14 and 16 are coupled to lower surfaces of the peripheral edge element 18. For example, the medial support elements 14 and 16 may be coupled to the lower surface of the peripheral edge element 18 by welds 20 and 22, best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4.
As is also apparent from the drawings, the cross-sectional dimension of the peripheral edge element 18 is somewhat larger than that of the medial support elements 14 and 16. Thus, in the preferred form of the invention, the peripheral edge elements 18 provide a means for retaining an iron on the iron support member 12. The peripheral edge element 18 preferably includes tapered side portions approximating the usual plan shape of an iron. Ideally, the peripheral edge element 18 is sufficiently large to accommodate within its periphery the largest commercially available iron.
As is best seen in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5, the sole plate 24 of an iron 26 may be received and supported on the medial support elements 14 and 16.
The peripheral edge element 18 includes an upturned rear portion 28, which serves to prevent sliding of the heel of the iron 26 rearwardly, off the support member 12. The rear portion 28 provides a convenient location for a weld 30, joining free ends of the peripheral edge element 18.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, a support leg 32 is coupled to the iron support member 12. In the illustrated form of the invention, loops 34 and 36 in respective medial support ele ments l4, 16. The support leg 32, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment of a single piece of round bar stock, includes trunnion portions 38, 40 in engagement with respective loops 34, 36. Thus, the loops 34 and 36 and trunnion portions 38 and 40 provide a convenient hinge means for the support leg 32. Referring to FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, bight portions 42 and 44, extending forwardly from the trunnion portions 38 and 40, serve to maintain the support leg 32 in an upright or operative position. With the support leg 32 in the operative position, the iron rest 10, when placed on a support surface 46, is supported by the support leg 32 and rear corner portions 48, 50 of the peripheral edge element 18, adjacent the rear portion 28. Support leg 32 may be pivoted about trunnion portions 38, 40 to the dotted line position in FIG. 4, thus producing a compact item for storage.
The above-described open frame iron rest is not per se novel. An important aspect, however, of the present iron rest 10, is the coating 52 of plastic polymeric material applied to the iron support member 12. The coating 52 is of self-lubricating, high melting point material, such as self-lubricating fluorohydrocarbons. By self-lubricating fluorohydrocarbons" is meant fluorinated or partially fluorinated and partially chlorinated hydrocarbons such as tetrafluoroethylene. Examples of such materials are the products sold under the trademark Teflon by E. l. du Pont de Nemours Co. By way of illustration, the coating 52 is seen in FIG. 1 partially broken away from the peripheral edge element 18 and medial support element 14. The coating 52 may be applied to the iron support member 12 in any well-known manner. For example, it has been found that application of the coating 52 electrostatic ally yields a smooth, uniform film of coating material. The coating 52 may be applied after fabrication of the iron support member 12, but before assembly with the support leg 32.
In one form of the invention, the coating 52 is applied as a twocoat system, including a .3 mil thick tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) primer coat, and a top coat of .9 mil .2 milthick 851-21 Teflon."
The above-described iron rest provides minimum surface contact between the sole plate 24 of the iron 26 and the iron support member 12. Moreover, since no bare metal on the iron support member 12 contacts sole plate 24, scraping or scratching of the sole plate 24 is prevented. If the sole plate 24 is itself coated with nonstick material, such material contacts only the coating 52. The coating 52 has a degree of hardness similar to the nonstick coating of the iron, and therefore marring of the iron is precluded. The coating 52 covers substantially the entire surface area of the iron support member 12. Thus, referring to H0. 5, side portions of the sole plate 24 of the iron 26 are protected from metal contact as well as bottom portions.
Starch buildup is not a problem with the above-described iron rest, since no form of starch presently available adheres to coating 52. Starch deposited on upper surfaces of the iron support member 12 tends to run off. Any residue may be removed by a light wiping.
The coating 52 serves to protect the metal of the support member 12 from corrosion due to steam. Thus, the present iron rest 10 provides a long useful life. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of the coating is such that condensation on the coated elements is reduced noticeably.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification as in dicating the scope of the invention.
1. In an iron rest of the type comprising an elongated bar member forming a raised peripheral wall, said wall supporting at least two elongated rod members in spaced side by side relation, said rod members being connected to the lower surface of said peripheral wall so that the sole plate of an iron on the rest will be supported by said rod members and be constrained against sliding movement by said raised peripheral wall, said raised peripheral wall having a portion thereof being turned upwardly to define a support for the heel of an iron, a support leg pivotally connected to one end of said rod members and being movable from a collapsed position where it lies against said rest and an operative position where it stands away from said rest, said support leg functioning to hold said rest and an iron carried thereby away from a supporting surface to permit steam emanating from the iron to escape, said peripheral wall being operative to prevent an iron from sliding off of said rest when said support leg is in its operative position the improvement comprising, said raised peripheral wall and said elongated rod members are coated with a self lubricating, high melting point, plastic polymeric material to prevent the sole plate of the iron from being damaged and to prevent accumulations of materials on said rest and the discoloration of said rest from heat and moisture.

@ARTICLE{Kirsch08thepower, author = {Adam Kirsch and Michael Mitzenmacher}, title = {The power of one move: Hashing schemes for hardware}, journal = {IEEE INFOCOM}, year = {2008}}
In a standard multiple choice hashing scheme, each item is stored in one of d ≥ 2 hash table buckets. The availability of choice in where items are stored improves space utilization. These schemes are often very amenable to a hardware implementation, such as in a router. Recently, researchers have discovered powerful variants where items already in the hash table may be moved during the insertion of a new item. Unfortunately, these schemes occasionally require a large number of items to be moved during an insertion operation, making them inappropriate for a hardware implementation. We show that it is possible to significantly increase the space utilization of a multiple choice hashing scheme by allowing at most one item to be moved during an insertion. Furthermore, our schemes can be effectively analyzed, optimized, and compared using numerical methods based on fluid limit arguments, without resorting to much slower simulations.

BALTIMORE SUPPORT GROUP for SOCIAL ANXIETIES. Shy, Introverts and Anxious people Welcome! Hi. I'm Rachel, started attending a support group in DC over 3yrs ago. I have social anxieties and I was becoming agoraphobia. I was self-isolating and avoiding human interactions. I've been facilitating the Support Group Meetings in DC for Social Anxieties for over 2yrs. I'm the organizer of " DC Social Anxiety Support Group Events" Meet Up. I live in Baltimore and I want to expand into this area. Typically we have 5-6people attending our weekly/biweekly. Wednesday meeting. We share our experiences living with and overcoming our anxieties. Baltimore meetings will be on Wednesdays at 7:30-8:30pm. We'll start with a Casual Conversation about Social Skills. (For example making eye contact, making phone calls, giving and receiving compliments, office parties.) We'll go around and say our Names and a Personal Triumph. (For example, I went on an interview, I attended a meet up.) Then we will have an Open Discussion. We can discuss different social situations, difficulties, and challenges. We will finish the meeting with Personal Goals. (For example Connect more with friends and family). Hopefully together we will find good Solutions, Ideas, and Advice. The purpose of this meeting, so you can go through the day in a calm and smoother way, with less anxieties. This group might not be the exact answer for you, But please consider attending at least of our meet ups. This is a great place to start! Once you get the momentum rolling you will surprise yourself! We also do different fun activities around the city. Please note this is peer support only NOT Professional help. This is for people with social anxieties only, if you want to bring a friend or family member as encouraging support that's fine. STUDENTS! If you are "required to attend a support group" for a College Course Credit, you're can call me to discuss you LEADING one of our meeting.(I mean guiding our the conversation with me shadowing you.) I we post a notice for that Wednesday, stating, we will be having a guest facilitator. You are NOT Allowed to just come to Observe Us. (Go to AA instead, because these people are too SHY! I have a hard enough time getting them to open up and talk about their issues, without you watching them!) Thank you for Respecting Our Shyness.

Nearly 35K New Mexicans sign up for health plans
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — State officials report that nearly 35,000 New Mexicans have signed up for health insurance through a federal online marketplace since October.
The figures released Friday are based on enrollment information [auth] supplied to the state's insurance regulator by private insurance companies offering health plans through the exchange.
The federal government says 8 million nationally have signed up for insurance coverage.
New Mexico has used a federally operated website to enroll individuals since October, but will switch to a state-based computer system for individuals later this year for the next open enrollment period.
State officials say about 26,400 individuals signed up for plans by the end of March, but enrollment reached almost 35,000 by April 15.
The state-run exchange handled small businesses, and about 560 workers and their dependents enrolled.

The Puck Stops Here
Worst +/- Rating
by PuckStopsHere on 03/19/13 at 10:34 PM ET
Comments (0)
Brian Campbell of the Florida Panthers has the worst +/- rating in the NHL. He has a -18 rating. He is also the ice time player in the league this season. He has played almost 25 more minutes than Ilya Kovalchuk, who is second in ice time in the league. These two numbers go together when you consider that Florida is the last place team in the NHL with the worst +/- rating.
It shouldn't be a big shock that the player who plays the most on the worst +/- team has the worst +/- in the league. Largely this shows that +/- is a team stat and Campbell is on a bad team. This is one problem with using raw numbers to compare players statistically. Nobody plays more than Campbell and there is no worse team than where he plays. It shouldn't be surprising that his raw numbers are bad.
If we look at rate numbers - specifically his team adjusted +/- as calculated by behind the net - we find that Campbell is average for a Panther. Essentially we can conclude that Campbell is no worse than any of his teammates in terms of his puck possession. It is his bad team that gives him his league worst +/- rating.
This shows clearly that +/- is valuable when looked at in context of a player's role on his team. It shows that he plays the most minutes on the worst team. It isn't correct to use this top prove Campbell is the worst player in the league because he isn't close. It is his role on his bad team that makes his raw counting +/- look so bad. It might be fair to say that Campbell is not good enough to succeed in such a role, but few players are. The most we can conclude is that Campbell is not a superstar defenceman but he is clearly vital to Florida given his playing time. Of course a better team than Florida would be able to offer more players to fill key defensive spots allowing him to reduce his playing time.
