Book excerpt: The purpose of this retrospective study is to provide financial analysis of the costs associated with providing Level II trauma care to patients at William Beaumont Army Medical Center (WBAMC). Special focus is directed at civilian emergencies and their ability to pay for services. During the period from 1 October 2000 to 30 September 2001, WBAMC, a designated Level II trauma center by the American College of Surgeons, provided care for 410 patients of which 181 were civilian emergencies. The civilian emergency patients were billed $2,478,729.77 of which $416,361.82 was collected for a loss of $2,062,367.21. Only 31 civilian trauma patients made payments towards the care provided. The civilian trauma patients required 486 bed days in the ICU and 643 days on the surgical ward for a total hospital stay of 1,129 days. The Length of Stay (LOS) for civilian trauma patients increased 75% (3.56 to 6.24 days) from fiscal year 1998 (before Level II certification) to fiscal year 2001. The Personnel costs associated with Level II trauma were $1,444,790. Outpatient costs were $47,245. Reimbursements, staff costs, and outpatient costs represent the significant costs of Level II trauma. The cost of providing Level II trauma at William Beaumont Army Medical Center during Fiscal Year 2001(FY01) was $3,554,402.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this graduate management project was to prepare an estimate of the full cost of providing inpatient care for emergency department admissions for the military and civilian community of El Paso, Texas for fiscal year 1995. It was found to be an efficient, reliable methodology which can be applied to any military treatment facility. By understanding how costs are accumulated within the MTF, management may make more informed decisions as to the provision of health services. This methodology combines a product line costing approach with the current step down process of MEPRS. The end result places a price tag on the product line in question.

Download or read book A National Trauma Care System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

Download or read book Health System Performance Comparison an Agenda for Policy Information and Research written by Irene Papanicolas and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2013-06-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International comparison of health system performance has become increasingly popular, made possible by the rapidly expanding availability of health data. It has become one of the most important levers for prompting health system reform. Yet, as the demand for transparency and accountability in healthcare increases, so too does the need to compare data from different health systems both accurately and meaningfully. This timely and authoritative book offers an important summary of the current developments in health system performance comparison. It summarises the current state of efforts to compare systems, and identifies and explores the practical and conceptual challenges that occur. It discusses data and methodological challenges, as well as broader issues such as the interface between evidence and practice. The book draws out the priorities for future work on performance comparison, in the development of data sources and measurement instruments, analytic methodology, and assessment of evidence on performance. It concludes by presenting the key lessons and future priorities, and in doing so offers a rich source of material for policy-makers, their analytic advisors, international agencies, academics and students of health systems.

Chapters are written by experts from a wide array of fields, including physical therapists, radiologists, psychologists, physiatrists, anesthesiologists, orthopedic spine surgeons, and neurosurgeons. Each chapter contains key points to summarize content and discussions of anatomy, pathophysiology, presentation, imaging, and treatment options. This comprehensive handbook provides the fundamental diagnostic and therapeutic information needed to effectively deliver 'best practice' care for spinal disorders, making it a must-read for physicians of any training level that may encounter or treat spinal disorders.
