Evaluation of Hawaii's Healthy Start Program
Hawaii's Healthy Start Program (HSP) is designed to prevent child abuse and neglect and to promote child health and development in newborns of families at risk for poor child outcomes. The program operates statewide in Hawaii and has inspired national and international adaptations, including Healthy Families America. This article describes HSP, its ongoing evaluation study, and evaluation findings at the end of two of a planned three years of fam…
Strategic Activity and Financial Performance of U.S. Rural Hospitals
This study examines the effect of 13 strategic management activities on the financial performance of a national sample of 797 U.S. rural hospitals during the period of 1983‐1988. Controlled for environment‐market, geographic‐region, and hospital‐related variables, the results show almost no measurable effect of strategic adoption on rural hospital profitability and liquidity. Where statistically significant relationships existed, they were more o…
Access to Vocational Rehabilitation Services for Persons With Severe Disabilities
It is widely recognized that the number of persons eligible to receive the services of state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies far exceeds the capacity of these agencies. The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) notes that in 1989 "program funding for VR was sufficient to serve only ... 7 per cent of the estimated 13.4 million persons with disabilities who were potentially eligible" for services (1991, p. 2). Under such tight resource const…
Nonprofit Organizations in the Health Sector
Government appears to both promote and mistrust nonprofit organizations in the health sector. Tax exemptions, subsidies, and preferential treatment in contracts support these organizations. Legislation that links the supply of charity care to tax exemptions demonstrates mistrust. In this paper, the authors argue that information asymmetries lie at the heart of the current discomfort with tax policy toward nonprofit health-care providers. The auth…
Evaluating Population Programs
This book examines cost-benefit (CBA) and cost-effective analysis (CEA) of the planning and evaluation of population and policy programs particularly in Africa Asia and Latin America. With the general reduction of financial resources throughout the world there is now increasing emphasis on the financial accountability and economic justification for such programs. There are several unsettled questions regarding the application of CBA/CEA to popula…
Episode-Based Efficiency Comparisons for Physicians and Nurse Practitioners
Most previous studies comparing the efficiency of new health practitioners with that of physicians have used the visit as the basic unit of output. Several researchers have noted, though, that the episode is a conceptually superior output unit in several respects, although it is more complex to deal with methodologically. This study demonstrates the application of episode-based methods for comparing the efficiency of physicians with that of nurse…
