Special Health

Throughout the industrialized world—from the United States to Japan, from Scandinavia to Australia—the theme of cost containment dominates the discourse on health care. This issue is the offspring of successful past efforts to ensure all patients effective medical care. While many countries have groups with special health disadvantages, the great majority of people in the industrialized nations have access to modern medical care and make ready use of it. The problem now is its cost, as aging populations, increasing in number as the result of advanced techniques that are more effective in prolonging life, place considerable strains on health care budgets.

The Impact

AbstractThis paper assesses the impact of mechanisms for financing intensive home health care services in the United States on their utilization. As lengths of stay have decreased in response to prospective payment methods for hospitals, demand has increased for intensive and complex services provided to patients in the home. Third-party payers, however, are willing to satisfy only some of this potential demand that their reimbursement policies have generated. It is the policies of payers rather than the safety and effectiveness of devices and procedures that are the major constraints on the expansion of intensive home health care. We describe the effects of these policies on who receives intensive home health care services, who provides them, what services are provided, how their quality is monitored, and what they cost.
