摘要:

This article illustrates how a new approach to classifying health networks and systems can be used to evaluate the readiness of health care organizations to accept risk. Examples are provided from the Harris-Methodist, Henry Ford, and SSM Health Care Systems. The classification system can also be used to assist executives and physician leaders in making decisions involving the centralization of services, the number of different services to offer, and decisions to enter into various strategic alliances. The classification system can be updated to help track the evolution of the U.S. health care system over time.

In the current hypercompetitive health care markets, executives need to focus more directly on their increasingly assertive and knowledgeable patient customers. This article describes practices of the best guest-services organizations that may be transferable to health services organizations. It also proposes ten principles that constitute the "new paradigm."

摘要:

To evaluate costs and achieve cost control in the face of new technology and demands for efficiency from both managed care and governmental payers, hospitals need to benchmark their costs against those of other comparable hospitals. Since they typically use Medicare Cost Report (MCR) data for this purpose, a variety of cost accounting problems with the MCR may hamper hospitals' understanding of their relative costs and performance. Managers and researchers alike need to investigate the validity, accuracy, and timeliness of the MCR's cost accounting data.
