  • A Current Reappraisal of Berry??s Hospital Typology

    T D Klastorin, Ted Klastorin et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1982

    In an earlier article, Berry published the results of a study that examined possible relationships among hospital facilities and services.

Berry defined five such groups and hypothesized that each group represents an increasing …

  • On the Measurement of Hospital Case Mix

    Theodore D Klastorin, Carolyn Watts et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1980

    This article discusses a number of issues related to the measurement of hospital diagnostic case mix. We initially examine a number of previous attempts to measure case mix based on surrogate measures (e.g., facilities and services) and information from predetermined discharge-classification systems. Since a number of researchers have attempted to reduce diagnostic classification data into a single-valued (i.e., scalar) case mix index, we then di…

  • Cost Effectiveness Analysis: Some Problems of Implementation

    Carolyn Watts, Carolyn A Watts et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1979

This paper asserts that the use of cost effectiveness analysis as a means of escaping the need to place a dollar value on benefits does not escape the need for appropriately discounting these benefits when they accrue in different periods over time. The choice of an appropriate discount …
