Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. health care system is in crisis. At stake are the quality of care for millions of Americans and the financial well-being of individuals and employers squeezed by skyrocketing premiums—not to mention the stability of state and federal government budgets. In Redefining Health Care, internationally renowned strategy expert Michael Porter and innovation expert Elizabeth Teisberg reveal the underlying—and largely overlooked—causes of the problem, and provide a powerful prescription for change. The authors argue that competition currently takes place at the wrong level—among health plans, networks, and hospitals—rather than where it matters most, in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of specific health conditions. Participants in the system accumulate bargaining power and shift costs in a zero-sum competition, rather than creating value for patients. Based on an exhaustive study of the U.S. health care system, Redefining Health Care lays out a breakthrough framework for redefining the way competition in health care delivery takes place—and unleashing stunning improvements in quality and efficiency. With specific recommendations for hospitals, doctors, health plans, employers, and policy makers, this book shows how to move health care toward positive-sum competition that delivers lasting benefits for all.

Book excerpt: This paper discusses the potential for increasing the use of competition in local health-care markets. The goal is to provide a guide for analyzing health-care markets and for identifying situations where competitive forces can improve market performance. The paper is aimed principally at planners who work for health system agencies and State health planning and development agencies. The economic analysis contained in this paper may also assist health benefits officers, health plan administrators, and others concerned with how market forces can be used in regulated health-care markets. For example, understanding the competitive process in health care can help corporate decision-makers in designing employee benefit packages and reimbursement schemes with incentives for cost containment. Originally published in 1982 by the Bureau of Economics of the Federal Trade Commission.

Book excerpt: Government control has driven health care costs sky-high at the same time that it has reduced the quality of care. As America's health care system cries out for reform, should policymakers embrace even more government planning, or should they fight for more individual freedom? In this updated edition of their 2005 book, the authors tackle proposals that would let government manage even more of America's health care sector. The continuing problem of ever-rising health care costs makes this book as timely as ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

Download or read book Plan Competition for Health System Efficiency written by and published by . This book was released on with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As compared to single-payer financing of health care, health plan competition is posited to improve health care quality and efficiency and provide alternatives to health care delivery and financing by fostering competition among health plans. In this paper, the authors review the role of plan competition in promoting health care reform. They present a proposal regarding plan competition and discuss the benefits and drawbacks. Key Findings: While there are cost-containing benefits to plan competition, adverse selection is also a common result of competition between health insurance providers. Balancing the cost benefits and adverse selection is a goal of regulation. Qualified Insurance Exchanges (QIX) could prove successful at fostering competition on price, quality of care and plan features responsive to the needs of the insured. QIX would entail community-rated premiums with risk adjustment and health investment accounts. An independent federal authority that would oversee the plan, collect data, and disseminate premium and plan performance information. Examples of qualifications for QIX would include choice of plans, open enrollment, reporting standards, and risk adjustment within and across exchanges. Qualified Insurance Exchanges take plan competition into account and could be an integral element of health insurance reform efforts.

Download or read book Theory and Practice of Managed Competition in Health Care Finance written by A.C. Enthoven and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1988-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These lectures review the research and experience on the subject of health care economy. The author also sets down a moderately rigorous statement of the economic concepts underlying the kind of competition that he regards as the most promising way to achieve a reasonable degree of equity and efficiency in health care. The first lecture is on the public policy goals of health care financing and delivery and discusses efficiency in health care. The second presents an economic analysis of the systems for organizing and financing medical care systems in the United States. The third lecture is about ``managed competition'', and the fourth reviews American experience with efforts to convert from the traditional system to a competitive system.The book is addressed primarily to economists, health policy makers and health services researchers. It explains how market forces may be managed in pursuit of equity and efficiency in health care. It addresses systematically many of the causes of market failure and proposes a strategy (``managed competition'') for overcoming them. It should be of interest to policy makers in any country interested in incentives for more efficient health care delivery. It should also be very useful supplemental reading for courses in health care economics.
