Economic implications of health care policy for medical technology
The relationship between technology and medical costs in the context of US health-care policy is addressed. It is argued that current policy, particularly in the area of containment, is not directed toward general welfare, of which health is a critical component. The basic cause of this deficiency in policy is that there is no overall guiding principle of economic justice to which policy decisions or initiatives can be attributed. Moreover, the h…
The triage experiment in coordinated care for the elderly
Triage is a model project designed to overcome the organizational and financial barriers inhibiting the provision of appropriate care to the elderly. Teams made up of a nurse clinician and a social worker performed assessment, service coordination, and monitoring functions. Services arranged by the teams were financed through a series of waivers on the use of the Medicare Trust Fund. Three hundred and seven Triage clients were followed and compar…
Real Costs of Dental Care in Private and Public Practices
The Chattanooga Project was a publicly funded program providing dental care to indigent children by private practice and public fixed and mobile clinics. Previous studies of the project have shown that the cost of providing dental care in public practices was lower than in private practices, and that this difference was not attributable either to the social characteristics of the children nor to the type of care provided. This article analyzes po…
Social and Delivery Factors in the Cost of Dental Care
This study examines differences in costs of dental care in a public program, in relation to 1) practice type, 2) patient characteristics, and 3) services provided. From 1971-75 the program provided dental care to some 5,000 indigent children per year in a 13 county region in Southeastern Appalachia. Care was delivered in private practices, and in public fixed and mobile clinics. Previous studies revealed significantly higher costs in the private …
Costs of Dental Care in Mobile Clinics
Expenditures for the Dental Care of Indigent Children in the Chattanooga Project, 1971–1975
This paper is part of a continuing study of the cost of children's dental care in a publicly funded model program. The Program--the Chattanooga Project--was designed to provide information and experience necessary for the development of similar programs elsewhere in the United States. From 1970 to 1975 comprehensive dental care was provided, at no charge, to an average of 5,500 indigent children per year. Children were treated in private practice…
Costs of Publicly Financed Dental Care for Children in Three Different Types of Practice Settings
This analysis of the Chattanooga Program has provided preliminary findings on the relative cost of providing dental care through three different modes of care delivery: private practice, public fixed clinics, and public modile clinics. Significant differences in costs were found. It is reasonable to conclude, tentatively, that public services were being used more efficiently than private services in the delivery of dental care involved in this pr…
