Benefits of Experience
The authors examined the issue of learning by doing in terms of both the cost and outcome of treating coronary artery disease at one hospital between 1977 and 1981. Over time, the quality of outcome improved for both medical and surgical patients. During this time of cost-plus reimbursement, there was less conclusive evidence of concurrent technical efficiency gains. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the benefits of experienc…
Comparative Costs Versus Symptomatic and Employment Benefits of Medical and Surgical Treatment of Stable Angina Pectoris
For patients who underwent cardiac catheterization for stable angina pectoris at the authors' hospital, initial treatment charges including the cardiac catheterization were approximately $28,000 for coronary surgery and $6,000 for medical therapy. Even after controlling for disease severity and after including medical patients who crossed over to surgery, the slightly increased 3-year follow-up costs of medical therapy offset only approximately 1…
Dissecting the Hospital Stay
A methodology is proposed and tested for the staging of patients thorugh a hospital stay. Measurements in a university-affiliated hospital and a community hospital in the Boston area showed similar staging patterns with about half of the sample having abnormal signs and symptoms while under treatment. The second-largest sample group in both hospitals, consisting of 11% of the sample, occupied beds although ready for discharge. The methodology ind…
