@techreport{Qian2005Evidence, abstract = {Medicare?s prospective
payment system (PPS), introduced in 1983, pays hospitals a fixed
price for each stay rather than reimbursing costs. Previous
studies evaluated its first few years using endogenous measures
to control for heterogeneity in patients? health. We examine PPS
over a full decade using competing risks Cox survival models and
a national longitudinal survey with independent information on
patients? health. New findings include: risk of death in
hospital increased; risk of discharge to a nursing home
continued to increase as PPS matured; and risk of nursing home
admission from the community following hospital discharge rose.
HMOs may have contributed to these outcomes.}, author = {Xufeng
