Abstract:

This paper measures the costs and types of administrative inputs in health care. We use data on labor and nonlabor inputs by industry and categorize them as administrative or not. We find that nonlabor inputs are a critical part of administrative spending, over and above labor inputs. Trends in nonlabor administrative input spending have differed dramatically from that of labor input spending for hospitals over the last 20 years. Hospitals have substituted away from office workers and toward externally purchased inputs. The share of managers and technical workers in administration has grown. T

Abstract:

Abstract The supply of health and social (long-term) care services in the UK will need to substantially increase in coming decades to meet growing demand pressures. Expanding supply will mean increasing the quantity of inputs used to produce health and care services (such as medical staff and equipment) or increasing the productivity of those inputs. In practice, both will be necessary, and both will require the government to overcome a range of challenges. In this paper, we discuss those challenges and their policy implications. We survey the evidence on the returns to inputs to healthcare pr

The services used by people with dementia and their carers were measured at three time points over 17 months. This analysis is unusual in that both informal care and formal inputs were costed. The costs estimates for informal inputs developed here may be applied to other data sets. Two hypotheses to explain the inter-relationship between informal and formal care inputs, substitution and supplementation, were compared in analysing the data. This paper explores the variations in costs according to the living arrangements of the people with dementia, by level of dependency and over time, and find

Abstract:

A central issue in designing incentive contracts is the decision to reward agents’ input use versus outputs. The trade-off between risk and return to innovation in production can also lead agents with varying skill levels to perform differentially under different contracts. We study this issue experimentally, observing and verifying inputs and outputs in Indian maternity care. We find that both contract types achieve comparable reductions in postpartum hemorrhage rates, but payments for outputs were four times that of inputs.

Their separate roles and the one of health administrations in particular have not been explicitly considered in efficiency analysis. We applied stochastic frontier analysis to district-level

The U.S. health system has been described as the most competitive, heterogeneous, inefficient, fragmented, and advanced system of care in the world.

Second, is the United States allocatively efficient relative to other countries, in the sense of providing highly valued care to consumers? For both questions, the answer is most likely no.

Abstract:

Introduction Cancer causes a substantial burden to our society, both from a health and an economic perspective. To improve cancer patient outcomes and lower society expenses, early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential. The recent COVID-19 crisis has disrupted the care trajectory of cancer patients, which may affect their prognosis in a potentially negative way. The purpose of this paper is to present a flexible decision-analytic Markov model methodology allowing the evaluation of the impact of delayed cancer care caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium which can be used by researche

AbstractExpenditures on mental health care in the Czech Republic are not being published regularly, yet they are indispensable for evaluation of the ongoing reform of Czech mental health care. The main objective of this study is to estimate the size of these expenditures in 2015 and make a comparison with the last available figures from the year 2006. The estimation is based on an OECD methodology of health accounts, which structures health care expenditures according to health care functions, provider industries, and payers. The expenditures are further decomposed according to diagnoses, and

Abstract:

While it is possible to save potential victims during emergencies situations (such as cardiac arrests) using the required healthcare infrastructure around, the greatest challenge lies in setting up of the same. People are not always present at places with readily access to qualified doctors. As a result, there should be a provision to remain in touch with a specialist medical practitioner. This paper presents the methodology of medical content management through internet of things. Transmitting sensory data of the victims to any hospital on time can help save numerous lives across the planet.

This work aims to predict, from a variety of user inputs, whether a baby will be born healthy or underweight. Taking into account characteristics including parental health, ethnicity, educational background, and region—all of which have an impact on healthcare accessibility and environmental factors—the study acknowledges the significance of birth weight in relation to gestational age. Through the examination of extensive datasets containing these lifestyle and demographic characteristics, health care providers can improve prenatal care and interventions, concentrating more carefully on popula

Patient satisfaction is a concrete criterion for evaluation of health care and therefore quality of nursing care. It provides crucial information for healthcare managers by providing important resources for processes such as those involved in measuring patients’ expectations and satisfaction with nursing care quality, improving nursing service quality through identification of areas of failure and planning and implementing necessary training. Evaluation of health care involves defining the objectives of care, monitoring healthcare inputs, measuring the extent to which the expected outcomes hav
