Managed care has demonstrated its ability to contain costs. Its emergence as a dominant factor in the health care marketplace has raised concerns about measuring health care quality. As the field of quality assurance is evolving, it is becoming clearer that patient satisfaction surveys should be an integral component of assessing care. 相似文献

The best way to provide a vision care benefit is with a managed care plan. With this type of design, there is cost containment without cost shifting, and quality assurance and member satisfaction are readily attainable at relatively inexpensive rates. 相似文献

Both employers and employees need appropriate information to make intelligent decisions about health care benefits. For employers, analysis of health care data offers an approach to monitoring quality care and can provide a tool for controlling costs. For employees, an education and communication strategy is probably the single most important factor influencing both program utilization and employee acceptance. 相似文献

When it comes to long-term care for the elderly, the federal government has a one-track mind: it pays for nursing home care through the medicaid program but does little else. Now the government is thinking about taking steps to help the elderly cope outside of institutions. 相似文献

国际上越来越多的健康保险(医疗保险)采用了管理医疗的方式,目的在于保证健康服务质量并节约成本。尽管该方式在控制成本方面的效果有目共睹,但对于其保证健康服务质量方面的评价则颇为困难。本文使用独特的大样本数据,利用美国加利福尼亚州医疗救助项目(美国最大的公共健康保险之一)从传统按次偿付方式到多种管理医疗模式的转变,来识别不同管理医疗模式对健康服务的使用及服务质量的影响。这对于我国公共健康保险制度(如新型农村合作医疗)的探讨具有一定的借鉴意义。 相似文献

In 2007, China launched a subsidized voluntary public health insurance program, the Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance (URBMI), for urban residents without formal employment. We estimate the impact of the URBMI on health care utilization and expenditure by a fixed effects approach with instrumental variable correction, using the 2006 and 2009 waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey. We explore the time variation of program implementation at the city level as the instrument for individual enrollment. We find that this program has significantly increased the utilization of formal medical services, including both outpatient care and inpatient care, but it has not reduced total out-of-pocket health expense. We also find that this program has improved medical care utilization more for children, members of the low-income families, and the residents in the relatively poor western region. 相似文献

Specialty PPOs are gaining in popularity as health care payers realize they offer many of the same opportunities for cost savings and quality assurance as hospital and physician PPOs. Physical therapy service is an example of a likely candidate for a specialty PPO. 相似文献

We use data from the National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS) to measure the effects of the growth of Medicaid managed care on children. We examine both the probability that individual children were Medicaid-covered and their utilization of care. We find that managed care penetration has significant effects on the composition of the Medicaid caseload: Young children are less likely to be covered, while poor school-age children are more likely to be covered. When we examine coverage by race, we find that black children are less likely to be covered where Medicaid managed care organizations (MMCOs) are more prevalent. These lower Medicaid enrollment rates are linked to increases in the numbers of young children who go without any doctor visits in a year. These results suggest that it is important to examine the potential effects of changes in Medicaid on selection into the Medicaid program, rather than focusing exclusively on the effects of managed care on those who are enrolled. In addition, among those enrolled in Medicaid, higher managed care penetration is associated with an increase in the number of black children with chronic conditions who go without doctor visits, but with decreases in the number of Hispanic children and poor teens who go without care. 相似文献

This paper modifies and interprets Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) using a linear economic model. This approach is similar to the cone input/output and assurance region approaches to DEA, but it is implemented so that the multipliers are measured in the same units across all linear optimization problems. This approach allows one to interpret alternatives as profit maximizing organizations and the DEA multipliers as prices that are comparable across the alternatives. This is a useful extension of the assurance region concept, but more important, is that our approach enhances communication with decision-makers. The improved communication is illustrated by applying the model to the siting of a long-term health care facility. This application is interesting because the multiplier bounds make practical sense, and because the problem has dimensions that sometimes lead to interpretation problems with the traditional DEA model. For example, the site characteristics do not result from coordinated decisions, some sites exhibit zero values for some variables, and the problem has many variables compared with the number of potential sites. Problems with these dimensions have, at times, been deemed unsuitable for DEA, but they are handled without problem by the linear economic model. 相似文献

Pay‐for‐performance programs are gradually spreading across Asia. This paper builds on the longer experience in the United States to offer lessons for Asia. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services has introduced several pay‐for‐performance programs since 2012 to encourage hospitals to improve quality of care and reduce costs. Some state Medicaid programs have also introduced pay‐for‐performance for nursing homes. Long‐term care providers play an important role in hospital pay‐for‐performance programs because they can affect the readmission rate and also total episode payments. A good pay‐for‐performance program will focus on improving quality of care that affects health outcomes. In addition, that quality must vary across providers and be measurable. Furthermore, it is important that the measures be reported in a timely way, that both demand and supply respond to the measures, and that the measures be risk adjusted. Empirical data from Medicare beneficiaries in the state of Michigan show that mean episode payments and readmission rates in skilled nursing facilities vary widely and are sensitive to the number of observations. These practical matters create challenges for implementing pay‐for‐performance in practice. There is an extensive literature review of pay‐for‐performance in long‐term care in the United States and in Asia. 相似文献

We build a two-dimensional political economy model to explain the provision and financing of long-term care and income redistribution. Voting agents differ in need and income opening up two conflicts: one sets families with disabled parents, who are in favor of a public long-term care program, against the ones without such parents who oppose public financing. The other sets the poor against the rich with the former preferring heavier income taxation than the latter. We show that a structure induced equilibrium always exists and that it is unique if informal care is provided in equilibrium. The equilibrium not only explains the negative association of income inequality and long-term care financing but also allows predictions about how demographic change might impact long-term care arrangements and expenses. 相似文献

“过度医疗”的制度根源与医生声誉激励机制 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
近年来,"看病贵"成为我国医疗服务中的突出问题,导致"看病贵"的一个直接推动因素是医疗服务中的"过度医疗"问题。医疗服务具有显著的信息不对称特征,在此背景下会形成医患之间合约谈判权的非对称分布,形成"权责不对等"的"委托困境"问题,从而引发"过度医疗"和医疗市场中"富人驱逐穷人"的现象。在此情况下,政府管制并不能改变医患之间合约谈判权的非对称分布格局,解决过度医疗问题的核心应该是建立以医生声誉激励机制为核心的制度体系。 相似文献

This paper discusses competitive-bidding systems for indigent medical care. Theoretical and empirical research which applies to the specific characteristics of these systems is limited. In particular, it is not clear which set of bidding rules would result in the lowest program costs for the state. Effectively implementing competitive bidding is difficult, given the ambiguity of available research results, since such bidding creates the appearance that policymakers have relinquished budgetary control. 相似文献

Addressing issues important to the aging nurse and night-shift worker is imperative for retention success. It is important for nurse leaders to create an environment that will keep older nurses and night-shift workers working. The good news is that health care leaders are talking. Research is being done and will hopefully continue. Now it is time for health care leaders to welcome nurses, educators, and policymakers into their circle of discussion to preserve quality health care and retain our nurses at the bedside. 相似文献
