Health Affairs
Dear John,
In case you missed it, Health Affairs recently published two health
policy briefs that examine the effects of residential segregation on
health care outcomes. Visit our website to learn more
<[link removed]>. Â
Cardiac Care & Integration
US cardiologists are increasingly employed by hospitals as a result of
hospital-physician integration. In the May issue, Brady Post and
coauthors examine differences in patterns of care associated with
integrated versus independent (non-hospital integrated) cardiologists
<[link removed]>.
Analyzing Medicare claims data from 2013-2020, the authors find that
although patients of hospital-integrated and independent cardiologists
had similar rates of relatively low-cost stress tests, patients of
integrated cardiologists had notably higher rates of cardiac
catheterization and coronary angioplasty, both of which are
high-intensity, hospital-based interventions.
"These results imply that hospital-cardiologist integration may tilt
treatment mix toward higher intensity services," Post and coauthors
conclude.
Read more to learn about the policy implications of these findings and
how they can be addressed.
