Beskrivning
A wide range of managerial challenges in healthcare, from decisions on what reimbursement levels to accept to how to deal with social determinants of health, could benefit from economic insights. This book for professionals in medical services, insurance and public healthcare emphasises intuition and common sense, making the concepts of health economics more relatable and actionable. It also challenges conventional wisdom, debunking myths and suggesting innovative solutions to industry challenges. For each problem, the book suggests actions managers should or should not take, when to seek new information, and how to interpret it. Economic analysis and research suggest novel answers to questions like whether to raise private insurer prices when Medicare cuts what it pays, when to accept a particular reimbursement offer, or how to manage patients with high-deductible insurance. The book highlights the impact on healthcare costs and efficiency of issues such as moral hazard, cost-sharing and price setting.

Recensioner i media

'In his wide-ranging tour of the field of health economics, Mark Pauly packages decades of economic theory and evidence into practical insights for today's healthcare managers. Rather than telling managers what to do, he lays out the economic underpinnings of the core concepts in healthcare markets, providing managers with a framework for decision-making as well as guidance for how to manage in the face of uncertainty and imperfect information. The text provides new insights on perennial challenges in healthcare markets, including understanding the difference between cost and value, the tradeoffs facing health insurers in designing products, the challenges in organizing healthcare delivery, and how to make sense of our complex system of buying and selling pharmaceuticals. This is essential reading for the managers and policymakers whose decisions shape our healthcare system.' Kate Bundorf, J. Alexander McMahon Distinguished Professor of Health Policy and Management, Duke University
