Download The Economics of Hospital Investment in Neonatal Intensive Care Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In my first chapter, I estimate a dynamic model of hospital investments in neonatal intensive care in Texas. Since the early 1990s, investment in this service has been quite robust. Urban areas have multiple hospitals that offer high level facilities but generally operate below capacity. Quality in neonatal intensive care increases with the number of patients treated: higher patient volumes lead to lower mortality rates. The entry of additional neonatal intensive care units imposes a negative production externality on existing units by reducing patient volumes. I estimate a static model of patient demand to determine how patient choices respond to investment. Through the dynamic model I recover the hospitals’ costs for treating different types of patients. I estimate a model of volume-outcome effects to predict how patient flows affect aggregate mortality. I simulate counterfactual outcomes under several restricted-entry regimes and find that up to 20% of the deaths of very low birth weight infants would be prevented in Texas by restricting entry of new neonatal intensive care units. In my second chapter, I study an economy of scale in the production of quality and the consequences for consumer welfare in the context of neonatal intensive care in Texas. Using detailed birth-certificate-level data including ID of the hospital of birth covering all NICU patients over eight years, I identify the causal effect of prior patient volume on the probability of mortality for new patients. I also empirically estimate a forgetting rate, capturing the rate at which the stock of accumulated experience declines in importance to the production of lower mortality. I find a very high rate of forgetting in this setting, suggesting that entry into this market may be quite harmful. I find that moving patients from low to high volume NICU’s within each county in the state would lead to substantial savings in lives: on the order of 145 infants annually. Valuing these lives at $7,000,000 each results in a welfare improvement of $1,000,000,000. I propose some policy options for the regulator in light of my results, including direct regulation of hospital prices to minimize the welfare loss from monopoly pricing. In my third chapter, I look at the consequences of entry in NICU markets for a wide variety of outcomes using national data.

Download The Business of Critical Care Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Today, every health care worker must be involved in the economics aspects of his or her job, and critical care medicine is one of the most expensive medical services in any hospital. Until now, however, it has been one of the least examined in economic terms. Drs. Sibbald and Massaro have solicited articles by outstanding experts in the economics and business of critical care medicine. These experts are bringing to the book a truly international perspective and provide both clinical and managerial expertise to this critical issue. The Business of Critical Care first provides an overview of the health care industry in terms of economics. It then moves to cover specific issues related to critical care treatment in the hospital setting. Few economic stones are left unturned including an especially important one - the cost of educating students and residents in the ICU setting. This text provides valuable information for health care professionals enabling them to protect the integrity of the medical system in place while still reacting to the real and demanding social and economic issues of our society. The book offers to the reader recommendations for dealing with ICU economics. It is a must read for clinicians who want to thrive as well as survive in their role as special care unit managers.

Download Organisation and Management of Intensive Care Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
From the viewpoint of a health economist, the intensive care unit (leU) is a particularly fascinating phenomenon. It is the epitome of "high-tech" medicine and frequently portrayed as the place where life-saving miracles are routinely wrought. But the popular imagina tion is also caught up in the darker side, when agonizing decisions have to be made to avoid futile and inhuman continuation of expen sive treatments. My analytical interests led me to approach these issues by asking what the evidence tells us about which leu activities are very bene ficial in relationship to their costs and which are not. This quickly translates into a slightly different question, namely, which patients are most appropriately treated in an leu and which not. Unfor tunately, it is very hard to answer these questions because it has pro ved very difficult to investigate these issues in the manner which is now regarded as the "gold standard:' namely by conducting rando mized clinical trials or alternative courses of action. I think this is a pity, and I am not at all convinced that it would be unethical to do so in many cases, because there is wide variation in practice and ge nuine doubt as to which practices are best -the two conditions that need to be fulfilled before such a trial is justifiable.
