Abstract:
This paper presents evidence that doctors behave very differently in making treatment recommendations depending on the region where they work, creating large variations in the quantities of care delivered to seemingly standardized populations. This evidence on “variations” (and the failure of normal explanations of the variations) leaves almost by default the idea that incomplete diffusion of information about the efficacy of medical information must be largely responsible. The paper then discusses reasons why this problem might occur: difficulties in collecting information about the success of medical procedures; difficulties in establishing property rights to such information, even if it were to be collected; and liability considerations that hinder adoption of any information that is collected. It concludes with some suggestions for addressing these problems.

Abstract:
Hardly a week goes by without a front-page newspaper article on rising health care costs and the uninsured. In this article, I focus mainly on costs, arguing that the issue has been somewhat misconceived: while the level of medical care spending in the U.S. is a cause for concern, the welfare losses associated with rises in that level of spending may not be as large as the public rhetoric can make them seem. In fact, cost containment may not be as urgent as is widely supposed, and some proposed “cost containment” policies may result in welfare losses for the insured and even increase the number of uninsured

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to disseminate among concerned professionals its certain operational aspects, including some possible implications on health and medical care practices. Design/methodology/approach It is written on the basis of the author’s special study of a diverse source of information, as well as on author’s practical experience and observation in this particular area. Findings Special attention is paid to possible public health impacts within a broad social and economic framework, as well as to its impacts on the existing national health care systems in countries, that would possibly lead to certain degree of inequity in health at national level as an important consequence of health development progress. Originality/value Knowledge and understanding gained from this paper might be useful in the efforts to develop and manage national health care systems to ensure a reasonable balance in health status of people of all groups.

Abstract:
Physicians and other medical providers are subject to a negligence rule of liability. In a simple model, with perfect information and homogeneous physicians, a negligence rule of liability with an appropriately defined due care standard should induce complete compliance: there should be no malpractice, no malpractice claims, and no demand for malpractice insurance. The malpractice experience is seriously at odds with this prediction. First, what goes wrong? Second, if the system does indeed operate imperfectly, does it yield benefits in terms of injuries deterred that outweigh the high overhead costs of operating a liability system?

Abstract:
I use data on the hospital networks offered by managed care health insurers to estimate the expected division of profits between insurers and providers. I include a simple profit-maximization framework and an additional effect: hospitals that can secure demand without contracting with all insurers (e.g., those most attractive to consumers and those that are capacity constrained) may demand high prices that some insurers refuse to pay. Hospital mergers may also affect price bargaining. I estimate that all three types of hospitals capture higher markups than other providers. These results provide information on the hospital investment incentives generated by bargaining. (JEL G22, G34, I11, L25)

Transnational medical travel, widely quoted as medical combines health care with leisure travel. Asia-Pacific is the leading contributor to the global market revenue in medical tourism and the global turnover is expected cross over USD 31.21 billion by 2026. With protracted and expensive visa and medical services patients seek sophisticated but inexpensive healthcare unavailable in their country. These issues are capitalized by many developing and developed countries like Thailand, India, Malaysia and Singapore by the virtue of their marked cost differentials, economical airfare, advanced medical care, favourable health care infrastructures, destination competitiveness, service quality, travel and entertainment facilities, making them a popular medical destination.

Abstract:
The authors seek to conceptualize the assumptions underlying the theoretical models of medical modernization. They note that the implantation of a rational and scientific health care system has often meant simply copying western models. The application of medical modernization models is examined in relation to marginal and disadvantaged groups in the United States as well as developing countries. The authors attempt to identify the general characteristics of these programmes and to evaluate the outcomes. The main outcomes of the transplantation of this model are seen as: For the purposes of comparison, the authors briefly examine another model which they term "health development". This models indicates that a general improvement in the health of the population depends as much on economic, political, ideological and technological factors as health care itself. Drawing on examples from China and Cuba, the authors note the importance of a more equitable distribution of goods, power and participation in the process of improving health. They conclude by stressing the necessity to carefully wegh the effects of importing modern medical practices.

Abstract:
Medical errors and adverse events are a global problem of strategic importance, accompanied by economic costs that impose a burden on the health care system, the country's economy and society as a whole. The article presents the results of a review of world experience in developing approaches to assessing the safety of medical care in medical organizations, systematization and analysis of factors affecting the patient safety.Purpose: the purpose of the article is to study and assess the risks associated with medical errors and adverse events in the activities of medical organizations that affect the patient safety in order to reduce the loss of public health, improve the system of identification and monitoring of risk indicators that affect the safety of medical care.Methods: the method of rapid assessment and content analysis of published evidence, including who experience in safety of medical care, was used to highlight the issue. The methodology of functional benchmarking, which included the collection and analysis of the necessary information, the choice of individual functions, processes, methods of work of medical organizations working in similar conditions, was used in the study.Results: the approaches allowing to predict occurrence and development of risks in ensuring safety of medical care, reduction of losses of public health and social and economic costs of the state are considered and offered.Conclusions and Relevance: the materials presented in the article show that safety is a fundamental principle of providing medical services to patients and a critical component of the quality management system of medical care. To reduce the loss of public health, direct and indirect socio-economic costs of the state, comprehensive efforts are needed to reduce the risks that threaten the patient safety and improve the activities of medical organizations.

Abstract:
In the Russian Federation, the technology platform «Medicine of the future» is specifically identified in the sector of digital economics. In the «Medicine and health care» sector, diagnostic systems based on molecular and cellular targets, genomic, post-genomic and cellular technologies are singled out. In the «Pharmaceutical industry" sector, the breakthrough areas include such innovative pharmaceuticals as vaccines (DNA vaccines), hormonal agents, coagulation factors, drugs based on cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, drugs for demographically significant diseases, antiseptics. In the sector of «Production of new materials» the priority targets is development of nano-technology and nano-materials and technologies of elaboration of bio-compatible materials. The main target is training and retraining of personnel in digital medicine skills, organization of national technological platforms for on-line education, on-line medicine and adjustment of existing and development of new educational programs. The social alterations resulting due to health care digitalization are associated with transformation of the structure of labor market of medical personnel, giving rise to emergence of new medical professions at the scientific research junction. The social perspectives of health care digitalization reflect formation of «knowledge society», development of information society and digital economics as a whole, development of competitive technologies and services in medicine. The world expert community, implementing sociological and socio-economic research, confirms that digitalization of medicine and economics gave rise to the ideology of «Social Investment» («Impact Investing», or, otherwise, «investment in social effect»). The digitalization of health care and economics has led to the need of developing new civilizational paradigm, to the necessity of human dimension of technological and economic processes. The positive social changes caused by development of digital medicine, do not exclude the emergence of social risks, manifested in possible violation of privacy, patients' rights, reducing level of security and dangerous dehumanization of society, reducing the value of patient as individual in conditions of development of biomedicine and genetic engineering as areas of digital medicine.

Abstract:
Objective: To assess and compare the quality of economic studies in selected pharmacy, medical, and health economics journals. Data Sources: DICP The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, American Journal of Hospital Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy, New England Journal of Medicine, Medical Care, Journal of the American Medical Association, PharmacoEconomics, International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, and Journal of Health Economics using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts. Search terms included “economic,” “cost,” and “cost analysis.” Study Selection: Reviewers appraised abstracts to identify original research published during 1989-1993 comparing costs and outcomes between drugs, treatments, and/or services. Initially, 123 articles met criteria; 16 were inappropriate, 17 were randomized out, and 90 (73%) were used (30/group). Data Extraction: Quality was assessed using a 13-item checklist. Interrater reliability was 0.91 (p < 0.05) for 9 raters, test-retest reliability was 0.94 (p < 0.001). Data Synthesis: A 2-way ANOVA, with overall quality scores as a dependent variable with journal type and year as independent variables, was significant (F = 2.79, p = 0.002, r2 = 0.34), with no significant interaction (F = 0.71, p = 0.68) or time effect (F = 0.70, p = 0.60). Journal types differed; pharmacy journals scored significantly lower (χ2= 53.89, df = 2, p < 0.001). Items rated adequate (i.e., correct or acceptable) increased over time (χ2 = 21.18, df = 4, p < 0.001). Ethical issues and study perspective most needed improvement. Conclusions: Article quality for all journal types increased over time nonsignificantly; health economics journals scored highest, then medical journals, with pharmacy journals significantly lower (and having the highest standard deviation). We recommend that authors and reviewers pay closer attention to study perspective and ethical implications.

Abstract:
Little is known about the relationship between variation in drug and non-drug medical treatment and how areas may substitute one type of care for the other. Using pharmacy and medical claims data for Medicare beneficiaries, we examine whether areas with more drug use have lower non-drug medical costs and how the quality of prescribing and primary care are associated with medical costs. We find that areas with higher drug spending do not have lower non-drug medical spending; however, poorer-quality prescribing and primary care are associated with higher medical spending in general and inpatient spending in particular.

Abstract:
There is no question that the next decade will see an enormous growth in the worldwide dialysis population. Increasingly, old and sick patients will be accepted on dialysis, and the worldwide dialysis population characteristics will approach those now seen in the U.S. In addition, recent attention in the U.S. and elsewhere on the mortality of dialysis patients is already resulting in an improvement in this regard, further expanding the future dialysis population. PD will continue to increase in use, particularly with continued worldwide economic pressures on dialysis providers. To the extent that the efficacy of this treatment can be improved, without eroding its economic benefits over HD, it should fare well in the future. If, on the other hand, expensive “adjustments” in the practice of PD are needed to assure reasonable medical outcomes, PD will likely fade in popularity. The challenge to those involved in PD clinicians, scientists, companies -is to develop a PD system that optimizes patient medical and psychosocial outcomes, and minimizes costs. If this cannot be accomplished, PD is likely to be replaced by new dialytic systems in the future (e.g., daily, slow, home hemodialysis) that can succeed in these areas.

Abstract:
Part 3 concludes the rebuttal to the argument that health care is special and that marketscannot properly distribute health care. Part 1 was a general discussion of the argument madeby Kenneth Arrow. Part 2 focused on the problem of asymmetric information in health care.Part 3 considers the argument that health care is a human right and concludes that it is not.All aspects of health care are composed of scarce resources which cannot be supplied inunlimited quantity upon demand. The belief that health care is a right leads to subsidies whichdistort the price structure in health care. Rising costs and increasing unaffordability are theinevitable consequences of these subsidies. A health care right becomes an insatiable demand;spending on other aspects of life is crowded out leading to a declining standard of living forthose paying for health care. The assumption that health care is a right causes competitiveinnovation to be replaced by rent seeking behavior particularly the grant of subsidies for veryexpensive treatments with low benefits.

Abstract:
The standards for medical education in the United States now go above and beyond traditional basic science and clinical subjects. Bioethics, health law, and health economics are recognized as important parts of translating physicians’ technical competence in medicine into effective research, administration, and medical care for patients. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), which establishes certification requirements for medical schools, requires all medical schools to include bioethics in their curricula. Furthermore, issues such as the growth of genetic testing, end-of-life decision making for a burgeoning elderly population, confidentiality in the era of electronic medical records, and allocation of scarce medical resources make bioethics training clearly necessary for physicians. Although 16 percent of the United States GDP is devoted to health care, the LCME does not currently mandate training in health law or health economics. Furthermore, as the Schiavo case and HIPAA remind us, legal directives influence medical practice in areas such as billing, confidentiality, and end-of-life care.
