まとめ
責任あるケア組織 (ACO) の病院参加は,緊急治療室の入院率,入院期間,または計画外入院の費用を変化させなかった. これらの結果は,緊急医療費削減に限られた影響を示唆しています.
科学分野:
- 健康経済学
- 医療政策
- 品質の向上
背景:
- Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) は,医療の質を向上させ,費用を削減することを目的としたメディケアの代替支払いモデルです.
- ACOが病院の運営慣行や予定外の入院費に及ぼす影響に関する証拠は,増加しているにもかかわらず,混在しています.
研究 の 目的:
- メディケア ACO に入院する患者と緊急治療室 (ED) の入院慣行の変化との関連を調査する.
- 計画外入院の入院期間 (LOS) に対するACO参加の影響を検討する.
- インデックスEDイベントの医療費総額に対するACOの影響を評価する.
主な方法:
- 2008年から2019年のメディケア手数料請求データを用いて差異分析が行われました.
- 2012年から2017年の間にメディケアのACOに加入した病院を特定し,最大5年間追跡しました.
- 主な成果は,ED入院率,観察滞在率,緊急入院のLOS,インデックスEDイベントの総コストでした.
主要な成果:
- 最長5年間,病院でのACOへの参加は,ED入院率の有意な変化と関連しませんでした.
- 参加病院の計画外入院のLOSには大きな変化は見られなかった.
- ACOに参加した病院と参加しなかった病院の間で,インデックスEDイベントの総コストは有意に違わなかった.
結論:
- 病院主導のACO参加は,計画外入院のケア提供に重大な変化をもたらさなかった.
- これらの発見は,病院ベースのACOが緊急入院に関連するコスト削減に限られた効果を持つ可能性があることを示しています.
- この研究は,現在の病院主導のACOモデルが,介護の提供と計画外入院のコスト削減に大きな変化をもたらす能力について懸念を喚起しています.
