AbstractThis paper investigates the effect of expansion to near‐universal health
insurance coverage in Massachusetts on breast and cervical cancer screening. We
use data from 2002 to 2010 to compare changes in receipt of mammograms and Pap
tests in Massachusetts relative to other New England states. We also consider
the effect specifically among low‐income women. We find positive effects of

ABSTRACTThis paper describes an instrument for measuring the social value of
changes in health status, the Relative Social Willingness to Pay. It is a unique
combination of measurement attributes designed to minimise cognitive complexity

QALY maximisation and people's preferences: a methodological review of the literatureHealth Economics (United Kingdom) - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 197-208 - 2005

AbstractIn cost‐utility analysis, the numbers of quality‐adjusted life years
(QALYs) gained are aggregated according to the sum‐ranking (or QALY
maximisation) rule. This requires that the social value from health improvements
is a simple product of gains in quality of life, length of life and the number
of persons treated. The results from a systematic review of the literature
suggest that QALY ma... hiện toàn bộ

in US hospital markets. I empirically investigate the impact of managed care and
hospital competition on quality using in‐hospital complications as quality
