英国国家医疗服务体系最近的实质性改革扩大了患者的选择范围,并鼓励医院在固定价格的市场中竞争。这项研究调查了这些改革是否导致了医院质量的改善。我们使用差异式估计来检验在2006年这些改革生效后,在竞争更激烈的市场中,医院质量(使用急性心肌梗死死亡率衡量)是否改善得更快。我们发现,改革实施后,生活在竞争更激烈的市场中的患者的死亡率下降(即质量提高)。我们的结果表明,医院竞争可以导致医院质量的提高。
Recent substantive reforms to the English National Health Service expanded patient choice and encouraged hospitals to compete within a market with fixed prices. This study investigates whether these reforms led to improvements in hospital quality. We use a difference-in-difference-style estimator to test whether hospital quality (measured using mortality from acute myocardial infarction) improved more quickly in more competitive markets after these reforms came into force in 2006. We find that after the reforms were implemented, mortality fell (i.e. quality improved) for patients living in more competitive markets. Our results suggest that hospital competition can lead to improvements in hospital quality.
