The effect of costs on Kenyan households’ demand for medical care
In an environment of constrained resources, policymakers must identify solutions for financing and delivering health services that are efficient and sustainable. However, such solutions require that policymakers understand the complex interaction between household utilization patterns, factors influencing household medical decisions, and provider performance. This study examined whether and under what conditions out-of-pocket, transportation, and…
The Effect of Managed Care on Hospitals' Provision of Uncompensated Care
This study examines the effect of managed care on hospitals' provision of uncompensated care, using a new measure of managed care that is hospital-specific, rather than measured for the area as a whole, and which includes payment by preferred provider organizations (PPOs) as well as by health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Based on data for Florida hospitals in the period 1998-2002, the results indicate that a higher percentage of private mana…
Ownership and Changes in Hospital Inefficiency, 1986–1991
This study examines how ownership affected changes in hospital inefficiency after the introduction of prospective payment by Medicare. Using a national data set, we estimate cost frontiers for 1986 and 1991 to assess hospitals' efficiency relative to best practice in both those years. We then use regression analysis to determine the effect of ownership on the change in hospitals' efficiency. The results indicate that, in both 1986 and 1991, mean …
Rural Hospital Closures
Conversion of closed hospitals to alternative health care facilities is often suggested as a way of maintaining the availability of medical services in rural areas. This study investigates the factors that influence whether or not a closed rural hospital will convert to an alternative health care facility. The study uses primary data collected from a survey of rural hospitals in Texas that closed during the years 1985 through 1990. Regression res…
Industry effects of medical device regulation
In 1976 Congress passed legislation authorizing the regulation of all medical devices. Some observers predicted that this regulation would have adverse effects on the newly regulated industries. This paper examines the major features of the medical device regulatory program and investigates how the regulation has affected the diagnostic imaging equipment industry. The results indicate that medical device regulation has not materially affected com…
