The Impact

Background: In the United States in 2014 approximately 1.7 million adults were hospitalized with sepsis, resulting in about 270,000 deaths. Malnutrition in hospitalized patients contributes to increased morbidity, mortality, and costs, especially in the critically ill population. Aim: Our goal was to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in sepsis and the impact it has on clinical and financial outcomes in our most critically ill patients. Methods: We implemented nutritional screening by a registered dietitian of 1000 patients admitted with sepsis to specialized care units. We calculated the prevalence of malnutrition, and compared outcomes including mortality, length of stay, and financial costs. Results: About 10% of patients with sepsis admitted to our specialized care units were diagnosed with malnutrition on admission after implementation of mandatory assessment. Conclusions: Although mortality did not reach statistical significance, these patients had more comorbidities, longer hospital stays, and higher total costs.

Research background: Today’s world is torn between extreme conservatism and duality, in opposition, trying to break the classical framework of freedom in the movement of people. In the context of complex global relations, this impulse, especially related to the travels for tourism purposes, raises new issues concerning the safety and security. The tourism industry has a priority for the economic development of many countries in the world and is a large source of export earnings and, at the same time, an important factor in the balance of payments of a significant part of the national economies in the world. The growing importance of the tourism industry, however, puts tourist destinations worldwide at the forefront of new challenges, one of which is terrorism. In this environment, new relationships are emerging and this reflects on the development strategies, as well as on the financial outcomes of tourism industry which are also largely affected. Purpose of the article: Respecting the new realities, the study explores the link between the risk of terrorism and the revenues from international tourism. Its main purpose is to investigate the impact of terrorism on the financial revenues from tourism in the European countries and the United States. The research is deter-mined by the perception that the financial flows from the international tourism are the quantitative manifestation of the hidden effects of the terrorism. Methods: The research method includes a regression cross-section analysis and Granger Causality test. The survey is panel and includes 37 countries from Europe tourism region and the United States from Americas’ tourism region (according UNWTO) for the period 2012–2017. Findings & Value added: In conclusion, the effects of terrorism on the studied regions have been summarized, establishing dependence between terrorism and tourism, which illustrates a specific creative-destructive reflections of terrorism on tourism with regions particularities.

The Impact

It is hypothesised that a positive relationship exists between the financial performance of an organisation and the level of intrapreneurship within the organisation with causation running from entrepreneurship to financial outcomes. Using a three-factor key intrapreneurship model developed by Goosen, De Coning and Smit (2002) and financial outcomes from a sample of companies listed in the industrial sector of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, this proposition is put to the test. The results support the hypothesis that the key factors innovativeness, proactiveness and management’s internal influence all significantly contribute to financial performance if regarded individually, but that the last factor dominates the first two external factors when used simultaneously. The conclusion underscores the importance of the impact of leadership on financial outcomes.

Background: Studies have shown positive outcomes for patients treated by hospitalists, however, the impact of Patientmanagement Accountable Metrics (PAM) contract among hospitalists on financial and clinical outcomes is unclear. This study intends to determine the impact of PAM contract among hospitalists on these outcomes.Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted in a 7-hospital health system in southeast U.S. region included 93,037 adult inpatients treated by 264 hospitalists and discharged in 2018. It measures the impact of PAM contract among hospitalists on total cost, variable cost, contribution margin, length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmission and mortality per inpatient discharge. Univariate and multivariable regression analysis were used for measuring outcomes.Results: When compared with non- PAM contracted hospitalists, PAM contracted hospitalists were estimated per case to have $437 ([95% CI: $326 to $548]) lower in total cost, $123 ([95% CI: $73 to $173]) lower in variable cost, $361 ([95% CI: $241 to $481]) higher in contribution margin, 0.37 days ([95% CI: 0.33 to 0.42]) shorter in LOS, and lower 30-day readmissions probability with an odds ratio of 0.82, ([95% CI: 0.79 to 0.86]). The impact of PAM contractual status was not significant on mortality rates. Study hospital system projected $17 million annual cost reduction, $14 million contribution margin and 14,000 patient days savings if all hospitalists were PAM contracted.Conclusions: This study indicates that PAM contract had positive financial and clinical impact among hospitalists. These findings may help hospitals improve clinical outcomes while reducing costs and improve margin.

TPS6652 Background: Few studies have assessed the financial impact of cancer diagnosis (dx) in diverse patients (pts) and caregivers (cgs) using objective and standard financial measures. S1417CD, led by the SWOG Cancer Research Network, is the first prospective cohort study assessing financial outcomes to be conducted in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). We present our experience with design and accrual. Methods: Pts age ≥ 18 within 120 days of mCRC dx were considered eligible and asked to identify a caregiver (cg) who could participate concurrently. The primary endpoint is incidence of treatment-related financial hardship, defined as ≥ 1 of the following: debt accrual, selling/refinancing home, ≥ 20% income decline, or borrowing money. Measures include 1) pt and cg surveys (baseline (BL), 3, 6, 9 and 12 months (mo)) assessing out-of-pocket spending, financial impacts, cg burden, and quality of life and 2) pt credit reports (BL, 6, and 12 mo). Linkage to records from TransUnion, a national credit agency, required pt social security number (SSN) and processes for batched credit report transfer via secure web portal. The accrual goal was n = 374 pts in 3 years. The study activated on Apr 1, 2016 and closed on Feb 1, 2019 after reaching its accrual goal. A total of 380 pts (median age 59.7 years) and 155 cgs enrolled (41% cg participation). Enrollment steadily increased during the study period; 56% enrolled in the last 12 mo. Credit data were not obtainable for 76 (20%) pts due to early death, lack of credit, or inability to match records. S1417CD, the first cooperative group led study assessing financial outcomes in the community setting, completed enrollment faster than anticipated. Required SSN collection was not a barrier to enrollment, which improved as sites became familiar with data security measures. Robust accrual to S1417CD demonstrates pts’ and cgs’ desire to improve understanding of financial toxicity and its solutions. Follow-up will conclude in 12 mo with results to follow. SWOG plans to launch a randomized study (S1912) assessing the impact of financial navigation on household finances, using credit data for primary endpoint assessment.

The Impact

Service companies invest billions of dollars to develop and maintain long-term customer relationships by offering corporate gifts. Yet several questions remain regarding such relationship marketing instruments: What impact do different kinds of gifts have on customers? Which perceptions allow gifts to affect customer behavior? What financial outcomes do these gifts imply for firms? To answer these questions, the authors use data from 1,950 airline customers—combining a longitudinal field experiment with internal customer database information—and explore the effects of different gift designs on customer perceptions and actual spending behavior. The experiment manipulates four gift designs (economic related/unrelated; social related/unrelated) and measures customer perceptions and behavior at different points in time. Multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVAs) and spotlight analyses reveal that the congruent combinations of economic related and social unrelated gift dimensions have the strongest effects on customer perceptions of relationship investment. Serial mediation analyses further reveal that the impact of gifts on customer spending is fully mediated by customer perceptions of perceived relationship investment and repurchase intention. Economic related gifts produce the highest contribution margins. Service managers may use these findings to design effective gifts and management processes (e.g., gift success tracking).

The Impact

We investigate the influence of intercollegiate athletic participation on grades using data from the U.S. Naval Academy. Athletic participation is an endogenous decision with respect to educational outcomes. To identify a causal effect, we develop an instrument via the Academy’s random assignment of students into peer groups. Instrumental variable (IVs) estimates suggest that sports participation modestly reduces recruited athletes’ grades. This finding has implications beyond college, as we also show that grades—not athletic participation—are most strongly associated with postcollegiate outcomes such as military tenure and promotion rates.
