Journal of Trauma
Vol. 38, No 1
January 1995
Bazzoli, G.J. and E.J. MacKenzie
pp. 103-10

OBJECTIVES: To identify all hospitals in the United States that operated a trauma center between 1980 and 1991 and to contrast their organizational, service, and medical staff characteristics. DESIGN: Trauma centers were identified through a series of surveys and follow-up discussions with state emergency medical service directors. Data on hospital characteristics were obtained through the American Hospital Association's 1990 Annual Survey of Hospitals.

A major challenge facing state and local public health agencies is how to partner with other organizations, agencies, and groups to collaboratively address goals in population health while effectively maximizing resource sharing of the partners involved. Today's public health efforts require multiagency partnerships between both governmental and nongovernmental sectors to achieve this mission.

State Risk Pools and Mental Health Care [8]

Health Affairs
Vol. 14, No. 3
Fall 1995
Stearns, S.C. and R.T Slifkin
pp. 185-96

State risk pools provide an opportunity for persons with mental health and substance abuse (MH/ SA) problems to purchase health insurance. This study uses data from eight risk pools during the period 1988-1991 to analyze the utilization and enrollment experience for persons who submit claims for MH/ SA treatment. Special consideration is given to the effect of variation in inpatient benefits across risk pools.

Bankruptcy Risk and State Regulation of Continuing Care Retirement Communities [12]

Inquiry
Vol. 32, No. 4
Winter 1995-1996
Conover, C.J. and F.A. Sloan
pp. 444-56

Continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) often require substantial financial investment from residents, prompting concern about potential losses to residents in the event of a CCRC's bankruptcy. State governments have responded to this concern with varying levels of regulation. Overall, CCRC bankruptcy rates are very low (.3% per year). We found that measures of varying regulation stringency had no effect on indicators of CCRCs' financial performance relating to bankruptcy risk.

Outlier Treatment and Episode Attribution Rules for Economic Profiling of Physician Specialists [19]

Inquiry - Fall 2006

Thomas, J.W. and K. Ward
pp. 271-82

This paper examines the influence of episode attribution methodology and cost outlier methodology on the accuracy of physicians' economic profiles. Four years of claims data from a mixed model HMO were processed using the leading episode grouper software. Episode grouped results then were applied to construct input distributions for a simulation model.

Transitions in Insurance Coverage from Before Pregnancy through Delivery in Nine States, 1996-1999 [27]

Efforts to extend coverage to pregnant women, along with an expanding economy, did not prevent increases in the uninsured in the latter 1990s. Welfare reform may have led to declining Medicaid enrollments and caseloads. Data representative of live births in nine states show that in some states more than one-third of all pregnant women and almost two-thirds of low-income pregnant women lacked insurance before their pregnancy in 1996 and 1999. More than one-third of all pregnant women made some change in coverage by the time they delivered their baby.

The Impact of State Managed Care Liability Statutes [36]

Health Affairs--September/October 2003
Vol. 22, No. 5
September/October 2003
Hall, M.A. and G.B. Agrawal
pp. 138-45

Since the mid-1990s ten states have enacted statutes that have created tort liability for patient harm caused by managed care organizations, and similar liability has been considered in Congress. This study is the first attempt to evaluate the impact of these state statutes on liability exposure and litigation activity. These statutes have resulted in little or no litigation and are not seen as creating any fundamentally new type of liability exposure.
