Assignment 2 Mark Cahen Dr. Dana Moretz HSA Managerial Epidemiology January 30, 2011 What differences did you find between the “Current Industry Values” data that you researched and the values reported in Table 5.5 for each of the 12 Inpatient Quality Indicators you selected to use in your study? The information I found seemed to be right around the same consistency as the indicated data on table 5.5. The information reported in the Table for comparison is utilized from a low volume hospital of 200 beds. The differences that will be reported are inherent that they are just that made up, for the study purposes however, I would say that the rates within the second graph show low rates in comparison to the volume in the hospital

The examples used in this type of literature are Medicare, which mandates how much the government will pay for any type of health care intervention. Consumers and private insurers in California pay as much as 10 percent more for the same procedures as Medicare patients (Iriye, 2002). This amounted to about $951 per family per year paying more than would be fair to make up for the shortfalls from Medicare payments.
