Initiation of Medical Malpractice Suits: A Conceptualization and Test
Despite the concern with medical malpractice suits and research about them, little is known about why some perceived injuries lead to claims of malpractice while other similar injuries do not. This paper presents a conceptualization and hypotheses regarding the determinants of an injury or perceived injury leading to suit. The conceptualization and hypotheses are tested using information collected from 113 medical malpractice plaintiffs' attorney…
Relating Satisfaction With Access to Utilization of Services
Underlying the continuing emphasis on access by health services researchers and policymakers is the assumption that patients having poorer access will receive less than appropriate health care, other things being equal. However, recent research results typically have not supported this assumption, and the nature and importance of relationships between access and use still remain unclear. Most published studies have sought to define general relati…
The Concept of Access: Definition and Relationship to Consumer Satisfaction
Access is an important concept in health policy and health services research, yet it is one which has not been defined or employed precisely. To some authors "access" refers to entry into or use of the health care system, while to others it characterizes factors influencing entry or use. The purpose of this article is to propose a taxonomic definition of "access." Access is presented here as a general concept that summarizes a set of more specifi…
Expectations and Experience of HMO Enrollees after One Year: An Analysis of Satisfaction, Utilization, and Costs
The impact of HMO enrollment on utilization and satisfaction in a sample of industrial employees was investigated using a panel study design. Preenrollment and postenrollment ambulatory utilization rates, out-of-pocket costs, and measures of satisfaction are presented for enrollees in two closed- and one open-panel HMO-type plans. Their health care experiences are compared to those of reenrollees remaining in the HMOs during both surveys, as well…
Enrollment Choices in Different Types of HMOs: A Multivariate Analysis
Enrollment decisions of a sample of an employed population choosing among open-panel and closed-panel HMOs and Blue Cross/Blue Shield are analyzed. This report, unlike previous ones, overcomes some of the difficulties of bivariate analysis by the use of the multivariate logistic probability model, logit. The results show that there are four consistent predictors of enrollment choice: previous source of care as the measure of access; family life s…
Enrollment Choice in a Multi-HMO Setting: The Roles of Health Risk, Financial Vulnerability, and Access to Care
Results of an analysis of enrollment decisions in HMO-type plans are reported. Previous studies concern dual-choice situations; this paper deals with a quadruple-choice situation involving one open- and two closed-panel HMO-type plans as well as Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BC/BS). The risk-vulnerability hypothesis is disaggregated into its components and the results show that there is no adverse health risk self-selection in an employed population. T…
Old Values, New Federalism, and Program Evaluation
New Federalism is defined and placed in the context of changing federal health policy. The weaknesses to which it has responded are enumerated and its major features are described. Three areas in which health professionals have contributed to the inadequacies of the categorical grant system are discussed: inadequacies in evaluative research, program analysis, and project evaluation; the role of program advocacy adopted by the federal health burea…
Frequency of Referral and Patient Characteristics in Group Practice
This paper investigates the effects of patient characteristics on frequency of referral at three group practices. Major findings are: for pediatricians, referral rate increases with patient age; among internists and general practitioners, variations in patient age, marital status, and payment source are consistently related to significant variations in referral rates. At the group with a large black clientele, blacks were referred significantly l…
