An Assessment of Prospective Reimbursement in Rhode Island. Section II. The Effect of Prospective Reimbursement on Costs in Rhode Island Hospitals

摘要

In July 1973, Rhode Island Health Services Research, Inc. (SEARCH) was awarded a grant to continue the work under way on methods for assessing the effects of alternative financing arrangements on hospital costs, administrative practices, and health policy alternative methodologies that could be used in a variety of locations in the country. The results of this study were to be made available through the Social Security Administration by July 1, 1975, under an unusual funding arrangement, and were to be the final version of the work reported in the study supported by the National Center for Health Services Research.
