Factors affecting decisions to seek treatment for sick children in Kerala, India
Classifying Rehabilitation Inpatients by Expected Functional Gain
OBJECTIVES: To create a more suitable payment system for medical rehabilitation, the authors developed a companion classification system to the original functional independence measure-function-related groups (FIM-FRGs), which classify patients having similar lengths of stay in a rehabilitation hospital or inpatient unit. The companion system presented here groups patients according to their gains in functional status during the rehabilitation st…
A Case-Mix Classification System for Medical Rehabilitation
Dissatisfaction with Medicare's current system of paying for rehabilitation care has led to proposals for a rehabilitation prospective payment system, but first a classification system for rehabilitation patients must be created. Data for 36,980 patients admitted to and discharged from 125 rehabilitation facilities between January 1, 1990, and April 19, 1991, were provided by the Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation. Classification rule…
Hospital and Patient Characteristics Associated With Death After Surgery
We asked if the factors that predict overall mortality following two common surgical procedures are different from those that predict adverse occurrences (complications) during the hospitalization or death after an adverse occurrence, which we refer to as "failure to rescue." We examined 5,972 Medicare patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy or transurethral prostatectomy using three outcome measures: 1) the death rate (number of deaths/numb…
Teaching Cost-Effective Diagnostic Test Use to Medical Students
The purpose of this project was to develop and evaluate a program to teach medical students how to order diagnostic tests in a cost-effective manner. The 1-month educational program included a seminar, a simulated patient-care exercise, special case presentations by students, newsletters about diagnostic tests, and concurrent review of patients' bills. Content analysis of answers to open-ended questions and pretests and posttests were used to mea…
Improved Cost Allocation in Case-Mix Accounting
Traditionally, many hospital costs have been allocated to patients using indirect measures that do not always reflect the value of the resources used to provide care. When, for example, costs are allocated by multiplying the patient's charges by the hospital's ratio of costs to charges, the allocated cost does not reflect actual cost because the hospital does not uniformly charge for services in proportion to their cost. The choice of method for …

Computer-based Audit to Detect and Correct Overutilization of Laboratory Tests
We developed a computer-bases system to detect inappropriate use of the clinical laboratory and tested a program of physician education to reduce overutilization. We modified the hospital laboratory's computerized reporting system to identify medical patients with three or more determinations of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) or calcium during the preceding seven days. We audited the charts of these patients, using explicit criteria, to determine whe…
