An AI-driven Mabm–BIM–DL framework for energy consumption prediction in three representative types of urban public buildings in Wuhan
Childhood starvation and elderly poverty in rural China
Childhood malnutrition has well-documented long-term effects on well-being in later life. Understanding how childhood starvation contributes to deficits in adult human capital and elderly poverty is essential for informing life-course strategies to prevent malnutrition and reduce poverty in old age. Data from the 2014 and 2018 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were used to examine elderly poverty in rural China,…

Data were drawn from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey in 2018 ( N = 6617). Regression analysis and bootstrap test were used to assess the mechanisms underlying the inconsistency between differen…

Short- and long-term impacts of the National Essential Medicines Policy on drug availability, price, and usage in a deprived rural county in southwestern China
Background: China's National Essential Medicines Policy (NEMP) has been implemented for over 15 years; yet empirical evidence on its long-term impacts is lacking, particularly in remote and rural regions. This study aims to assess the short-and long-term effects of NEMP on the drug availability, price, and usage in a deprived rural county in southwestern China. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, featuring a single-group pre-and-po…

Financial Performance Gaps Between Critical Access Hospitals and Other Acute Care Hospitals
This cross-sectional study compares financial measures, including margins and commercial prices, between critical access hospitals and other acute care hospitals and examines how these comparisons vary by system affiliation
Will Cash Price Transparency Benefit Patients
This Viewpoint discusses the ways in which cash price transparency might influence patients’ choice of clinician and how this would affect health care costs
The Curious Persistence of Site-Dependent Payments
This Viewpoint considers supply- instead of buy-side pressure to address the inflated cost of basic health services provided by hospitals
Pharmacy Benefit Manager Pricing and Spread Pricing for High-Utilization Generic Drugs
This cross-sectional study uses Medicare Part D claims for high-utilization generic drugs to analyze gross profits accumulated by pharmacy benefit managers, pharmacies, wholesalers, and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical supply chain
Facility Fees for Colonoscopy Procedures at Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers
This cross-sectional study investigates commercial facility fee differences for colonoscopy procedures between US hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers located within the same county and contracting with the same insurers

Financial Characteristics of Nonprofit Social Welfare Organizations in the US Health Care System
This cross-sectional study examines the purpose, revenues, profitability, and lobbying expenses of social welfare organizations in the US health care system
Pharmacy Benefit Managers
Pharmacy benefit managers are intermediaries in the pharmaceutical supply chain and perform multiple roles in the management and distribution of pharmaceuticals to patients. When regulating PBMs, it is important to adopt policies that address market failure problems by improving PBM competition as opposed to policies designed to serve the narrow financial interests of other market participants (eg, pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers) withou…

Trends of Prescription Drug Manufacturer Rebates in Commercial Health Insurance Plans, 2015-2019
This economic evaluation examines the magnitude and trend of prescription drug rebates in commercial markets from 2015 to 2019 and identifies insurance plan factors associated with rebates
Covid-19 and Hospital Financial Viability in the US
The results of this cross-sectional study suggest that although hospitals experienced a sizeable reduction in operating margins in 2020, their overall profit margins remained similar to those in prior years, suggesting that the COVID-19 relief fund effectively offset the financial losses for hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Government, rural, and smaller hospitals, which were supported by some targeted fund allocations, generated higher ov…
Early Surveillance and Public Health Emergency Responses Between Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Avian Influenza in China
Background: Since the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been a worldwide pandemic, the early surveillance and public health emergency disposal are considered crucial to curb this emerging infectious disease. However, studies of COVID-19 on this topic in China are relatively few. Methods: A case-comparison study was conducted using a set of six key time nodes to form a reference framework for evaluating early surveillance and public health …
Characteristics of and Public Health Emergency Responses to Covid-19 and H1N1 Outbreaks
The speed of the emergency responses to H1N1 was faster than COVID-19, which might be an important influential factor for slowing down the arrival of the peak time at the beginning of the epidemic. Although COVID-19 in China is coming to an end, the government should improve the public health emergency system, in order to control the spread of the epidemic and lessen the adverse social effects in possible future outbreaks
Comparing Regional Distribution Equity among Doctors in China before and after the 2009 Medical Reform Policy
The fairness among the regional distribution of doctors in Category 1 is now at a high level and is better than that before the reforms. While the fairness in Category 2 is worse than that before the reforms, it causes moderate inequality and is continually decreasing. Overall unfairness was found to be derived from the between-group
Pharmaceutical Industry Support of US Patient Advocacy Organizations
Objectives. To examine whether the share of pharmaceutical industry funds allocated to patient advocacy organizations (PAOs) is disproportionately large in the United States relative to other industrialized countries and to compare pharmaceutical companies’ disclosure practices across industrialized countries. Methods. We examined funding of PAOs among the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in 2016. We compared funding allocated to organizations…
