项目摘要

This study offers a first test on an important assumption upon which the competitive approach to cost containment is based. The principle research objective is to investigate the impact of physician fee information on consumer behavior. Physician fee information may affect several different types of consumer behavior including: consumer search behavior; the choice of physician; overall medical care resource utilization; and the inclusion of cost issues in consumer discussions with physicians. In addition to examining aggregate effects, the research will also attempt to identify those factors which mediate the relationship between consumer possession of physician fee information and the use of this information in making health care decisions. Of special interest are the moderating effects of enabling factors, predisposing factors and medical need. The proposed study will employ an experimental design with both experimental and control groups drawn from among 274 randomly selected public employees, and 274 randomly selected Medicare enrollees. The project draws upon research in economics, competition, consumer information, insurance and health care consumption, and advertising. There are several important outcome measures: measures of health care utilization including both the amount of services used and measures of physician/consumer interaction.

这项研究提供了对一个重要假设的第一次检验，成本控制的竞争方法是基于。原理研究目的是调查医生费用信息对消费者行为医生收费信息可能会影响几个不同的消费者行为类型包括：消费者搜索行为;选择医生;整体医疗保健资源利用;以及消费者与医生讨论的成本问题。除了研究总体效应外，研究还将尝试确定那些调解消费者之间关系的因素，拥有医生费用信息和使用此信息在做出医疗保健决策。特别令人感兴趣的是使能因素、诱发因素和医疗需求的影响。拟议的研究将采用实验设计，实验组和对照组从274名随机选择的公共雇员和274名随机选择的医疗保险登记者。该项目借鉴了经济学、竞争、消费者信息、保险和保健消费以及广告。那里有几个重要的结果指标：利用率，包括使用的服务量和医生/消费者互动。
