Effect of Phase II Price Controls on Hospital Services

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Nonmaternity cost data from three Connecticut hospitals are analyzed to determine the contribution to total costs per discharge made by increases in cost per unit of service and by increases in units of service per discharge between 1960 and 1969. The portion of the percentage growth of total costs that is due to increased units of service per discharge is compared with the percentage growth in total costs allowable under the hospital price control regulations of the Economic Stabilization Act, and the implicit consequences for expansion of hospital services under the Act are discussed.
