The Cost

Since the advent of Medicare in 1966, a major focus of federal policy and legislation has revolved around the purchase of health care. Although initial programmatic content demonstrated some concern for both cost containment and basic quality assurance, by the late 1970's congressional cost control anxiety had reached a fever pitch, culminating in a completely revamped Medicare hospital reimbursement methodology enacted in 1982, combined with a retooled utilization control mechanism in the form of the Peer Review Organization (“PRO”) program.At the same time, in the private sector, as the cost of health care increased, major corporate purchasers of health care services became increasingly concerned about the “value” of the health care benefits they were making available to their employees. In response to perceived consumer demand, these same corporations eventually, for reasons unrelated to health care, began to incorporate quality improvement into their core manufacturing and service missions.

Cost Of Health Care

Overutilization—defined as the use of health care services for which the benefits do not outweigh the harms—has been identified as one of the leading contributors to the rising cost of health care in the United States. Although informational interventions designed to address overutilization have had a significant, but modest, impact on the rate of overutilization, they have not been sufficient to solve the problem. Also, various psychological mechanisms contribute to the desire for more medical tests and treatments. To effectively address overutilization, we need to better understand the psychological underpinnings of overuse in medicine. The article reviews recent findings from the behavioral science literature—including reliance on anecdotal evidence, test-related affect, the use of diagnostic labels, and medical maximizing tendencies—that lend insight into why patients sometimes seek, demand, or expect medical tests and treatments that are considered by experts to be low value.

The Cost

A retrospective survey was carried out of serious eye injury caused by windscreen contact in road traffic accidents over a 6–year period. All 15 patients had contacted toughened windscreens, and all but one did not wear seat belts. The cost in terms of pounds sterling paid out by the National Health Service, and also the cost in terms of visual handicap were assessed. It was found that of the 15 patients admitted during this time, the treatment of the large majority cost at least twice as much as that for patients undergoing routine cataract surgery. This was primarily due to the longer hospitalization necessary. Only 2 patients retained a visual acuity of 6/6.

Abstract As a consequence of globalisation, people’s mobility has been increasing, which brought cultural diversity to a number of countries of the world, therefore intercultural competences became a particularly important research object in organisation management. Scientific literature is rich in publications on the topic, however, the latter problem and its specificity has been insufficiently studied in health care organisations whose performance is especially important for each patient and the cost of errors, possibly caused also by insufficient intercultural competences, may be very great. The conducted research justifies the meaning and significance of intercultural competences in health care organisations and identifies the principal problems in organisations faced when communicating in an intercultural environment. The development of intercultural competences was not sufficiently promoted in health care organisations, leaving that to the staff’s responsibility. Quite a few of health care services providers had a poor knowledge of etiquette and did not know much about the customs and traditions of other countries.
