Source of admission and cost: public hospitals face financial risk.
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH(2011)
摘要
We studied all admissions to the 11 acute care hospitals of the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (April 1983-September 1984) matching emergency room (ER) admitted diagnostic related group (DRG) subgroups in each hospital with at least five non-ER admitted patients (N = 222,961). Mean cost per ER patient ($8,385) was greater than non-ER mean cost per patient ($4,386) for Medicare and non-Medicare. Our data suggest that public hospitals with a high proportion of ER admissions may be at a financial disadvantage under DRG reimbursement.
