This study aims to examine variations of healthcare expenditures among small areas and to determine the associations between demand-, supply-factors, and per capita inpatient expenditures. This cross-sectional study utilized hospital discharge data aggregated within delineated hospital service areas (HSAs) using the small-area analysis approach. Linear multivariate regression modeling with robust standard errors was used to estimate the sources of variation of per capita inpatient expenditures across HSAs covering the years 2017 to 2019; the Shapley value decomposition method was used to measure the respective contributions of demand-, supply-side to such variations. Among 149 HSAs, demand factors explained most of the (87.4%) overall geographic variation among HSAs. With each 1% increase in GDP per capita and urbanization rate was associated with 0.099% and 0.9% increase in inpatient expenditure per capita, respectively, while each 1% increase in the share of females and the unemployment rate was associated with a 0.7% and 0.4% reduction in the per capita inpatient expenditures, respectively. In supply-side, for every 1 increase in hospital beds per 1000 population, the per capita inpatient expenditures rose by 2.9%, while with every 1% increase in the share of private hospitals, the per capita inpatient expenditures would decrease by 0.4%. With Herfindahl-Hirschman Index decrease 10%, the per capita inpatient expenditures would increase 1.06%. This study suggests demand-side factors are associated with large geographic variation in per capita inpatient expenditures among HSAs, while supply-side factors played an important role. The evaluation of geographic variations in per capita inpatient expenditures as well as its associated factors have great potential to provide an indirect approach to identify possibly existing underutilized or overutilized healthcare procedures.</p>","PeriodicalId":54976,"journal":{"name":"Inquiry-The Journal of Health Care Organization Provision and Financing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10823849/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139572084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to explore the perspectives of early adopter health care professionals (HCP) on digital transformation in outpatient rheumatology. In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with rheumatology nurses and physicians in 3 German rheumatology outpatient clinics, each characterized by an advanced level of digital adaption. Qualitative data were subsequently analyzed using deductive-inductive qualitative content analysis. Interviews with 11 rheumatology nurses and 5 rheumatologists were completed. Three key themes emerged from the qualitative analysis: (i) Digital transformation of care; (ii) impact of digital transformation on health care delivery; and (iii) perceived drivers of successful digitalization. The interviews revealed that digital technologies are widely used throughout the complete patient pathway. Digitalization enables more continuity and flexibility in rheumatology care. Patient information can be electronically obtained in a standardized manner prior to planned visits, enabling an informed consultation and more time for in-depth patient discussion. Although digitalization restructures work, it can also increase the current workload. Improved accessibility for patient calls leads to more work for HCP. Important drivers of successful digital technology implementation are low-threshold and interoperable services, a medical team that is interested and educated in eHealth, and comprehensive patient information and onboarding. Digital transformation is increasingly redefining rheumatology care.

This review evaluated the PICOT question: What barriers exist among providers in implementing evidence-based harm reduction methods for adults aged 18 years and older, with and without opioid use disorders? A literature search was conducted across databases using key words which included: \"Health care provider,\" \"Physician,\" \"Pharmacist,\" \"Harm reduction,\" \"Harm reduction programs,\" \"Naloxone,\" \"Buprenorphine-naloxone induction,\" \"Methadone,\" \"Naloxone take home kits,\" \"Stigma,\" \"Barriers,\" \"Negative perception,\" \"Refusal.\" The inclusion criteria focused on identifying provider barriers, specifically regarding opioid use. . The review revealed 3 major barriers that exist among providers to prevent harm reduction: stigma, lack of education and knowledge, and lack of access to resources for long-term management. Recognizing these barriers among providers can help organizations develop targeted interventions to overcome them, leading to widespread adoption of opioid harm reduction methods.

The data report plan enrollment by county and plan spending across administrative activities for all 16 Medicaid plans in New York state for 2018. We examine the counties in which plans operate, profitability, and administrative resource allocation. We compare outcomes by tertile of plan profitability, measured as net income per member-month. Plan profitability ranged widely, with the most profitable plan realizing nearly $30 per member-month while the least profitable 5 plans realized net negative earnings. Operational differences across plan profitability emerged most clearly in administrative spending. The most profitable plans reported greater spending on salaries overall and for executive management, and taxes, while the least profitable plans spent more on operational functions including utilization management/ quality improvement, claims processing, and informational systems. We observe modest differences in county rurality and little in geographic breadth. Procurement design that rewards capacity-building in key administrative functions might impact market evolution, given that on average, highly profitable firms spent less on these activities in New York's Medicaid managed care market in 2018.</p>","PeriodicalId":54976,"journal":{"name":"Inquiry-The Journal of Health Care Organization Provision and Financing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11265242/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141443778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
