Private Equity Acquisition of Gastroenterology Practices and Colonoscopy Price and Quality
In this economic evaluation, PE acquisition of gastroenterology practices led to higher prices and spending but had no discernible effect on quality. Policymakers may be well advised to monitor PE investment in physician practices given the increase in prices and spending without a commensurate increase in quality
Assessing the Short‐Term Association Between Rural Hospitals’ Participation in Accountable Care Organizations and Changes in Utilization and Financial Performance
PURPOSE: Although much research has been done on accountable care organizations (ACOs), little is known about their impact on rural hospitals. We examine the association between rural hospitals' participation in an ACO and their performance on utilization and financial measures. METHODS: This quasi-experimental study estimates the relationship between voluntary ACO participation and hospital metrics using propensity score-matched, longitudinal re…
The Association between Hospital-Physician Vertical Integration and Outpatient Physician Prices Paid by Commercial Insurers
This study assessed the relationship between hospital ownership of physician organizations (known as hospital-physician vertical integration) and facility fees billed to commercial insurers and physician service prices. Healthcare claims came from the IBM® MarketScan® Commercial Database (2012-2016, N = 30,716,800 office visit claims [CPT codes 99211-99215]), and hospital-physician vertical integration measures were from SK&A Office Based Physici…
The Early Impact of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services State Innovation Models Initiative on 30-Day Hospital Readmissions Among Adults With Diabetes
BACKGROUND: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative funds states to accelerate delivery system and payment reforms. All SIM states focus on improving diabetes care, but SIM's effect on 30-day readmissions among adults with diabetes remains unclear. METHODS: A quasi-experimental research design estimated the impact of SIM on 30-day hospital readmissions among adults with diabetes in 3 round 1 SIM…
Early Impact of the State Innovation Models Initiative on Diagnosed Diabetes Prevalence Among Adults and Hospitalizations Among Diagnosed Adults
BACKGROUND: The State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative invested $254 million in 6 states in Round 1 to accelerate delivery system and payment reforms. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the association of early SIM implementation and diagnosed diabetes prevalence among adults and hospitalization rates among diagnosed adults. RESEARCH DESIGN: Quasi-experimental design compares diagnosed diabetes prevalence and hospitalization …
Republican States Bolstered Their Health Insurance Rate Review Programs Using Incentives From the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) included financial and regulatory incentives and goals for states to bolster their health insurance rate review programs, increase their anticipated loss ratio requirements, expand Medicaid, and establish state-based exchanges. We grouped states by political party control and compared their reactions across these policy goals. To identify changes in states' rate review programs and anticipated loss ratio requirements…
Health workforce skill mix and task shifting in low income countries
BACKGROUND: Health workforce needs-based shortages and skill mix imbalances are significant health workforce challenges. Task shifting, defined as delegating tasks to existing or new cadres with either less training or narrowly tailored training, is a potential strategy to address these challenges. This study uses an economics perspective to review the skill mix literature to determine its strength of the evidence, identify gaps in the evidence, …
The mental health workforce gap in low- and middle-income countries
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the shortage of mental health professionals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS: We used data from the World Health Organization's Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems (WHO-AIMS) from 58 LMICs, country-specific information on the burden of various mental disorders and a hypothetical core service delivery package to estimate how many psychiatrists, nurses and psychosocial care providers would be n…
