Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outgrowth of our long-term interest in constructing a model of physicians' specialty and practice location choices. In developing such a model, the logical first step was to undertake a literature review. Our intent was to identify the studies that were the strongest methodologically, summarize their findings, and determine to what extent these findings could be used as the basis for an integrated model of physicians' career decision making.

Download or read book Incentives and Choice in Health Care written by Frank A. Sloan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008-05-16 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading scholars in the field of health economics evaluate the role of incentives in health and health-care decision making from the perspectives of both supply and demand. A vast body of empirical evidence has accumulated demonstrating that incentives affect health care choices made by both consumers and suppliers of health care services. Decisions in health care are affected by many types of incentives, such as the rate of return pharmaceutical manufacturers expect on their investments in research and development, or disincentives, such as increases in copayments patients must make when they visit physicians or are admitted to hospitals. In this volume, leading scholars in health economics review these new and important results and describe their own recent research assessing the role of incentives in health care markets and decisions people make that affect their personal health. The contexts include demand decisions—choices made by individuals about health care services they consume and the health insurance policies they purchase—and supply decisions made by medical students, practicing physicians, hospitals, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Researchers and students of health economics and policy makers will find this book a valuable resource, both for learning economic concepts, particularly as they apply to health care, and for reading up-to-date summaries of the empirical evidence. General readers will find the book's chapters accessible, interesting, and useful for gaining an understanding of the likely effects of alternative health care policies. Contributors Henry J.

Download or read book Understanding Perspective and Context in Medical Specialty Choice and Physician Satisfaction written by Denise D. Gibson and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its 2004 spring report, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) posits that Behavioral Sciences provides a perspective that can assist physicians in understanding their patients as embedded in a larger social and environmental context (Patricia A. Cuff and Neal Vanselow, Editors, Improving Medical Education: Enhancing the Behavioral and Social Science Content of Medical School Curricula). The report further indicates that perspective and context is crucial to patient care in terms of understanding the interaction between biological, cognitive, and learning processes to produce behavior, illness and health. Perspective and context is equally important in understanding physician satisfaction. The authors present their findings from a qualitative research study at one northeastern medical college in which they explored factors influencing physician satisfaction. The authors describe responses from practicing physicians and how responses were categorized into twenty (20) themes. Categorized themes from the study include: academic side of medicine, balancing personal and professional life, business side of medicine, clinical issues within specialty, dissatisfaction with medicine, expectations of medicine, gender, geographical location, match, monetary rewards, personal rewards/ satisfaction, politics within medicine, practice of medicine, pressures and demands, switching specialty/quitting medicine, stress associated with medicine, time commitments, training issues, full time/part time work, and other circumstances (i.e., military, locum tenums). The authors share "rich" examples from various themes found in the study. What are the implications of this study, specifically as it relates to behavioral science departments in American medical colleges? Participants in the study offer advice to medical students and faculty. The authors share this advice and solicit further suggestions for behavioral sciences from conference participants. The IOM recent report recommends that medical students demonstrate competency in one of six domains, including physician role and behavior. Physician well being is one of the high priority topics for inclusion in medical school curricula. Understanding physician satisfaction and assisting medical students in making informed choices about specialty choice is an important area for medical schools to examine. Including physician satisfaction and medical specialty choice in the behavioral sciences curriculum can also provide perspective and context about the complexity of medicine--a positive step towards physician well being.

Download or read book Regulation of Health Case Studies of Sweden and Switzerland written by Peter Zweifel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care arguably is the single most regulated industry in industrial countries, and possibly in newly industrialized and developing countries as well. But what exactly is being regulated, what are the instruments used, and what are the effects and side-effects of such regulation? Regulation of Health: Case Studies of Sweden and Switzerland seeks to resolve problems in answering these key questions regarding the health care sector in two countries - Sweden and Switzerland. The volume contains a series of studies that compare the regulation of health and health care in these two apparently very similar countries, in considerable detail. The contributing teams acquired a great deal of knowledge about health regulation in both countries; they also derived comparative predictions when regulation differs, using actual observations to check whether these predictions are borne out. These comparisons are based on the conditions prevailing in the mid-nineties.
Download or read book Health Economics second edition written by Frank A. Sloan and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of a textbook that combines economic concepts with empirical evidence, updated with material on the Affordable Care Act and other developments. This book introduces students to the growing research field of health economics. Rather than offer details about health systems without providing a theoretical context, Health Economics combines economic concepts with empirical evidence to enhance readers' economic understanding of how health care institutions and markets function. The theoretical and empirical approaches draw heavily on the general field of applied microeconomics, but the text moves from the individual and firm level to the market level to a macroeconomic view of the role of health and health care within the economy as a whole. The book takes a global perspective, with description and analysis of institutional features of health sectors in countries around the world. This second edition has been updated to include material on the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, material on the expansion of health insurance in Massachusetts, and an evaluation of Oregon's Medicaid expansion via lottery. The discussion of health care and health insurance in China has been substantially revised to reflect widespread changes there. Tables and figures have been updated with newly available data. Also new to this edition is a discussion of the health economics literature published between 2010 and 2015. The text includes readings, extensive references, review and discussion questions, and exercises. A student solutions manual offers solutions to selected exercises. Downloadable supplementary material is available for instructors.
