Past studies of hospital rate setting regulation conclude that mature programs have been effective in constraining hospital expenditures. However, if rate regulation is influenced by higher hospital expenditures the relationship between expenditures and rate setting is confounded. This study assesses the impact of rate setting on hospital and non-hospital expenditures using a simultaneous-equation model which separates the effects of hospital expenditures on the decision to regulate from the effects of regulation on expenditures. The simultaneous-equation results indicate that mature rate setting is associated with lower per capita health care expenditures, including hospital and non-hospital expenditures. 相似文献

政府管制与房价持续上升 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
本文认为房价持续上升的原因是政府对房地产市场的资本进入限制。消费者对住房的需求旺盛。拉高了房价,房地产公司的利润丰厚。问题是房地产公司为什么能一直保持丰厚的利润?其原因就是政府对房地产市场的资本进入限制所造成的房地产市场的垄断。本文比较了都存在信息不对称性的家庭装修市场和房地产市场不同的市场结构,不同的发展结果。最终得出结论:只有房地产市场的激励竞争才能解决房价持续上涨的根本问题.所以在强化政府这只看得见的手的作用的同时,不要抑制了市场这只看不见的手的作用。 相似文献

We use the Australian National Health Survey to estimate the impact of private hospital insurance on the propensity for hospitalization as a private patient. We account for the potential endogeneity of supplementary private hospital insurance purchases and calculate moral hazard based on a difference-of-means estimator. We decompose the moral hazard estimate into a diversion component that is due to an insurance-induced substitution away from public patient care towards private patient care, and an expansion component that measures a pure insurance-induced increase in the propensity to seek private patient care. Our results suggest that on average, private hospital insurance causes a sizable and significant increase in the likelihood of hospital admission as a private patient. However, there is little evidence of an expansion effect; the treatment effect of private hospital insurance on private patient care is driven almost entirely by the substitution away from public patient care towards private patient care. We discuss the implications for policies that aim to expand supplementary private insurance coverage for the purpose of reducing excess demand on the public healthcare system. 相似文献

Regulating internal markets for hospital care 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rosella Levaggi 《Journal of Regulatory Economics》2007,32(2):173-193
Internal markets have been created in an attempt to shift power from producers to consumers in a context where consumers have
very weak incentives to seek out low-cost producers and have little knowledge about the quality of health care. The idea is
that by establishing public agencies to act as the sole purchasers on behalf of consumers in their area of jurisdiction, the
asymmetry of information can be moderated and a more competitive environment created in which costs will be minimized and
quality enhanced. Whether these aspirations can be fulfilled will depend on how the internal market is organized. In this
article the cost-minimizing properties of alternative market structures where hospitals do not share the same objectives are
examined. The scheme is designed from the standpoint of a benevolent regulator that provides services using two hospitals
with fixed locations. The paper shows that price discrimination is a superior instrument. Finally some market forms are always
dominated and should be avoided.

This study assessed the impact of hospitalist care on hospital malpractice premiums. The retrospective cohort study used hospital financial data from the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development and the annual hospital survey conducted by the American Hospital Association. The sample included 1000 California hospitals from 2006 to 2010. The effect of hospitalist care on hospital malpractice premiums was evaluated using generalized estimation equation models with log link normal distribution after controlling for hospital and market characteristics, patient utilization and staffing patterns. In multivariable analyses, hospitals with more full-time hospitalists per average daily census were associated with lower malpractice insurance premiums. For example, a one-hospitalist increase per 100 daily censuses resulted in a 5.1% reduction in malpractice insurance premiums. Hospitalist care was associated with a reduction in malpractice insurance expenses. The data reveal that hospitalist care is more efficient and effective in patient treatment and preventing complications. The improved efficiency may reduce malpractice insurance expenses. 相似文献

To reduce hospital expenditures, many jurisdictions now regulate hospital rates. Prior theoretical work has demonstrated, however, that the effect of rate regulation on total expenditures is a priori unclear. Empirical research has found that hospital rate setting programs have reduced expenditures per diem and per admission, but not necessarily hospital expenditures or total health care expenditure per capita. This study extends this empirical research. It employs pooled cross section-time series data on state level expenditure, regulatory, and demographic variables obrserved annually for 1975–85. The analysis provides little evidence that hospital rate setting programs have reduced hospital expenditures. Some rate setting programs actually are positively and significantly related to hospital expenditures. Overall, this study does not suggest that regulatory programs will reduce hospital expenditures. 相似文献

The variables that relate to cost of hospital care for a large sample of elderly patients at risk for falling are examined. The chief predictors of cost of hospitalization were medical, pharmacy, and nursing interventions. Use of nursing interventions, on average, raised the median hospital cost less than use of medical or pharmacy interventions. Using a standardized nursing language with the hospital's information system can provide nurses with information that demonstrates the cost effectiveness of their interventions. 相似文献

Performance targets are commonly used in the public sector, despite their well known problems when organisations have multiple objectives and performance is difficult to measure. It is possible that such targets may work where there is considerable consensus that performance needs to be improved. We investigate this possibility by examining the response of the English National Health Service to high profile waiting time targets. We exploit a natural policy experiment between two countries of the UK (England and Scotland) to establish the global effectiveness of the targets. We then use a within-England hospital analysis to confirm that responses vary by treatment intensity and to control for differences in resources which may accompany targets. We find that targets met their goals of reducing waiting times without diverting activity from other less well monitored aspects of health care and without decreasing patient health on exit from hospital. 相似文献
