Analysis of Affordable Health Care
BACKGROUND: Lack of affordable health care affects the uninsured, commercially insured, and Medicare beneficiaries. Yet, the wide variation in providers' prices and practice styles suggests that more affordable care already may be available and data on low value and wasteful care suggest that lower cost care need not come at the expense of better quality. Although price variation has received the most attention in the literature and legislation, …

Quality-of-Life Weights for the US Population
BACKGROUND: Many of the large ongoing national surveys of the US population contain a question that asks for the respondent's self-reported health status: "excellent," "very good," "good," "fair," or "poor." These surveys could be used to conduct cost-utility analyses of health care policies, treatments or other interventions if quality-of-life (QOL) weights for the self-reported health statuses were also available. OBJECTIVE: The objective of th…
The Influence of the Structure and Culture of Medical Group Practices on Prescription Drug Errors
BACKGROUND: This project was designed to identify the magnitude of prescription drug errors in medical group practices and to explore the influence of the practice structure and culture on those error rates. Seventy-eight practices serving an upper Midwest managed care (Care Plus) plan during 2001 were included in the study. METHODS: Using Care Plus claims data, prescription drug error rates were calculated at the enrollee level and then were agg…
A Demand-Side View of Risk Adjustment
This paper analyzes the efficient allocation of consumers to health plans. Specifically, we address the question of why employers that offer multiple health plans often make larger contributions to the premiums of the high-cost plans. Our perspective is that the subsidy for high-cost plans represents a form of demand-side risk adjustment that improves efficiency. Without such subsidies (and in the absence of formal risk adjustment), too few emplo…
Some Observations about Risk Adjustment Research
Research on risk adjustment has made an important contribution to the health economics and health pol? icy literature. Currently, however, there is a pressing need for improved communication among research? ers and their readers. We suggest improvements in three areas: more precise terminology; agreement on some simple results; and clarification of the assump? tions underlying specific analyses. In this note, we make modest proposals for each are…
Inpatient Length of Stay in Twin Cities Health Plans
In this paper we examine the relationship between inpatient length of stay and the patient's type of health insurance. The data consist of discharges in seven diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) from community hospitals in Minneapolis and St. Paul during 1982. After controlling for the effects of the patient's age, sex, medical condition, and severity of illness, as well as the hospital's size, teaching and ownership status, and average annual occupa…
