... small teaching hospitals. DEFINITIONS For purposes of this analysis, the following definitions are used: Academic health center (AHC)
From page 163...
... Margins The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) calculated three types of margins for this analysis that are included in Tables A-1 and A-2: Medicare hospital inpatient margins excluding direct GME payments and costs, overall Medicare margins including direct GME payments and costs, and total hospital margins.
From page 164...
... Data Sources The following data sources are used in this analysis: · Medicare Hospital Cost Reports for FY 1990 and 1999 · American Hospital Association Annual Surveys for 1990 and 2000 · NIH data on trends in awards to medical schools 1990 and 2000 · American Association of Health Service Library Surveys, 1990 and 2000 · American Association of Colleges of Nursing Annual Survey, 1994 and 2001, special runs performed for this project · AAMC, special runs performed for this project. · MedPAC, special runs performed for this project DATA ANALYSIS These analyses are based on 120 AHC hospitals and 119 medical schools.

... Patient Care · Patient care services showing moderate dispersion across AHCs were total emergency room visits, total outpatient visits, Medicare inpatient days, Medicaid inpatient days, and percent Medicaid inpatient days. All the other patient care services had low dispersion.
From page 167...
... Market Share · Hospitals were classified into four groups -- AHC hospitals, large teaching, small teaching, and nonteaching hospitals. AHC hospitals generally provide more education, patient care, and DSH share than the other types of hospitals.
From page 168...
... · Moderate dispersion was demonstrated in: -- Total emergency room visits -- Total outpatient visits -- Total Medicare inpatient days -- Total Medicaid inpatient days -- Percent Medicaid inpatient days · Low dispersion was demonstrated in -- Average daily census -- Total hospital inpatient beds -- Occupancy rate -- Total inpatient days -- Percent Medicare inpatient days -- Medicare case mix index -- Total FTE personnel -- FTE nurses per 1,000 inpatient days -- Total FTE personnel per 1,000 inpatient days -- Length of stay (overall, Medicare, Medicaid) · There was high dispersion in disproportionate share payments per Medicare discharge.
From page 169...
... , fewest FTE nurses per 1,000 inpatient day, fewest FTE personnel per 1,000 inpatient days, lowest percent of Medicaid days, highest occupancy rate, and highest Medicare overall and Medicare inpatient margins. DSH Funds · AHC hospitals located in larger MSAs received higher DSH payments per Medicare discharge.
From page 170...
... · AHC hospitals with the highest occupancy rates were in the top 50 for GME only, while hospitals with the lowest occupancy rates were not in the top 50 in any category. Notes on Table A-4 Rate of Change in Activity by Statistical Dispersion Category (1990-2000)
From page 171...
... The one major exception was private hospitals, which had greater increases in the number of outpatient visits and total FTE personnel and showed a more rapid decline in overall length of stay. It is also noted that private hospitals had a statistically significant increase in hospital beds as compared with public hospitals, which experienced a decline in that time period.
From page 172...
... They had: · Higher daily censuses · More emergency room visits · More outpatient visits · More hospital beds · Higher occupancy rates · More Medicare days · More Medicaid days · More total inpatient days · Higher proportion of Medicaid days · Higher Medicare case mix · Longer overall, Medicare, and Medicaid lengths of stay · Lower percentage of Medicare days. · Given their higher intensity of care, it is somewhat surprising that there were no statistically significant differences in number of FTE nurses per 1,000 inpatient days.
From page 173...
... AHCs had the smallest rate of change among the three groups of teaching hospitals. · Between 1990 and 2000, AHC hospitals had: -- Smallest reduction in hospital beds -- Smallest reduction in average daily census -- Smallest reduction in percent of Medicare inpatient days -- Greatest overall decline in percent of Medicaid days -- Largest increase in Medicare case mix index -- Smallest reduction in overall length of stay · There were no statistically significant differences in the rate of change between 1990 and 2000 in DSH payments.
From page 174...
... The AHC share of Medicare and Medicaid discharges increased similarly. In general, AHCs and major teaching hospitals increased their market share between 1990 and 1999, while small teaching and nonteaching hospitals lost market share.
