Characteristics of Academic-Affiliated Health Systems
PURPOSE: Changing market forces increasingly are leading academic medical centers (AMCs) to form or join health systems. But it is unclear how this shift is affecting the tripartite academic mission of education, research, and high-quality patient care. To explore this topic, the authors identified and characterized the types of health systems that owned or managed AMCs in the United States in 2016. METHOD: The authors identified AMCs as any gene…
Horizontal and Vertical Integration of Health Care Providers
Increasingly, U.S. policymakers seek to promote provider integration and coordination. Emerging evidence suggests that organizational structures, composition, and other characteristics influence cost and quality performance. Given current efforts to reform the U.S. delivery system, future research should seek to systematically examine the role of organizational structure in cost and quality outcomes
Evaluating the Impact of Integrated Care on Service Utilization in Serious Mental Illness
The Marginal Costs of Adverse Drug Events Associated With Exposures to Anticoagulants and Hypoglycemic Agents During Hospitalization
BACKGROUND: Anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents are 2 of the most challenging drug classes for medical management in the hospital resulting in many adverse drug events (ADEs). OBJECTIVE: Estimating the marginal cost (MC) of ADEs associated with anticoagulants and hypoglycemic agents for adults in 5 patient groups during their hospital stay and the total annual ADE costs for all patients exposed to these drugs during their stay. RESEARCH DESIGN…
Electronic Medical Records and Cost Efficiency in Hospital Medical-Surgical Units
This study examines the impact of electronic medical records (EMRs) on cost efficiency in hospital medical-surgical units. Using panel data on California hospitals from 1998 to 2007, we employed stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to estimate the relationships between EMR implementation and the cost inefficiency of medical-surgical units. We categorized EMR implementation into three stages based on the level of sophistication. We also examined the…
Physician Practice Revenues and Use of Information Technology in Patient Care
OBJECTIVES: Although information technology (IT) may improve efficiency and quality of patient care, the adoption of clinical IT by physicians has been limited. This study investigates the relationships between physician practice revenue and use of clinical IT. RESEARCH DESIGN: We undertook a cross-sectional analysis of data on 6849 U.S. physicians in physician-owned practices who responded to the 2000-2001 Community Tracking Study Physician Surv…
