Health Affairs
Dear John,
Health Affairs is presenting a variety of events this month covering
topics such as population health
and a
transportation benefit
offered to members of a Medicare accountable care organization (ACO).
Subscribe to our events newsletter
to stay up-to-date about
our monthly programming.
Hospital Services By Ownership Type
In their March article, Jill Horwitz and Austin Nichols examine the
relationship between hospital ownership type
and which service lines hospitals offer.
After controlling for market and hospital characteristics, they
determine that although all hospital types are more likely to offer a
service if it is relatively profitable, "nonprofit hospitals offer
relatively unprofitable services more than for-profit hospitals and less
than government hospitals."
There are large spillover effects of ownership within hospital markets.
The authors explain, "As for-profit penetration in a market increases,
nonprofit and government hospitals in that market are more likely to
behave like for-profits in service mix."
Jill Horwitz will appear on tomorrow's episode of A Health Podyssey
to discuss this research and the role of nonprofit hospitals with Health
Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, as part of a series about enhancing
value by evaluating health care service, Susan dosReis and coauthors
discuss incorporating the patient experience
in health technology assessment.

In a new health reform-focused newsletter from Health Affairs, Katie
Keith explores the many facets of health reform.
Since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Barack
Obama in 2010, health reform has seen many interpretations. The purpose
of the ACA was to expand access to insurance, increase consumer
protections, improve quality, and curb rising health care costs.
In this newsletter, Katie Keith will examine the latest health policy
developments-from legislation to litigation-and explain what these
changes mean for patients, payers, providers, and other key health care
stakeholders.
