Australia’s largest private healthcare provider is growing turnover, making a profit and rewarding shareholders. It’s still failing to impress a sharemarket that is constantly being reminded of the sector’s poor health. Jamie Nemtsas

This piece argues that the key challenges for the NHS are protecting its capital investment for long term improvements and specifically moving to a regime of prevention rather than curing. The latter is something I've heard at a number of healthcare conferences. Of course these aren't easy choices but this is the great opportunity in front of us, to use technology better to drive prevention and to bring down the overall cost of healthcare so that all budgets can go further. #innovation #healthcare https://lnkd.in/gNYjQHaE

It is time for the penultimate episode in this series. In this episode, I look at the role of competition between health care providers in the market. 🤔 But first, how do we define the market? 👨🏫 One definition is set out by the US Dept of Justice as “the smallest group of competing firms, such that they could, acting in coordination, raise their prices by more than 5% profitably for at least one year”. An economist will recognise to important dimensions to this definition, both the product market (e.g. specialist paediatric hospitals) and geographic market (e.g. hospitals within a 10-mile radius of North-East London). The share each provider has can then be determined using the Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index ranking providers from 0-10,000, where 10,000 would represent a monopoly. #9 Abraham, Gaynor and Vogt’s Competition in Local Hospital Markets 📚 In 2005, Jean Abraham, Martin Gaynor and William Vogt (Acumen, LLC) evaluated trends in the US between 1994-2000 that saw many local hospital markets reduced to monopolies, duopolies, or triopolies, leading to understandable concerns about competition. 💹 Using an econometric model that infers the extent of competition based on the market size necessary to allow for successive new entrants to the market, the authors concluded that the entry of new providers let to the quick convergence of competitive conduct. This conduct could be competition based on price but also aspects such as quality. 🏥 In addition, the authors found that entry reduced variable (perhaps excessive) profits and increased quantity produced. Interestingly, these effects from new entrants were seen from the second or third new provider entering the market, but with little effect seen for the fourth market. An economist would therefore say that this effect is consumer-surplus-increasing. That is, it increases consumer welfare. 🤔 In the context of the UK Health & Social Care sector, what should we learn? ✅ We should be careful not to think increased competition within the NHS offers an increase in activity. Whilst at Nuffield Trust, nigel Edwards highlighted that seeking competition seems to reflect a tendency to see the NHS through the prism of planned care, and the evidence of its impact in the NHS is mixed. The experiences of the US – as covered in the video below by James Eagle - may reflect the association between reduced competition and increasing costs, but the UK context must be accounted for. ✅ I think more could be done to understand the role of NHS Hospital Chains and Provider Collaboration through the lens of competition. Does the collusion result in reducing volumes produced? ✅ Introduce independent provider data to metrics such as cost per weighted activity unit within the NHS England Model Health System tol. I think Hospital providers can learn and compete from those outside of the NHS, particularly across planned care. #HealthEconomics #UCLGBSH #NHS

I have long been passionate about (and not short of opinions on) the topic of consolidation in healthcare. An important point that I probably do not recognize often enough in my own writing on the subject is that affiliating with a larger health system isn’t the only option for independent hospitals. In a new article, #ECGMC partner Andrew Bachrodt explores the market factors driving consolidation and what hospital leaders need to consider when contemplating a transaction. Well worth taking a couple of minutes to read. #mergersandacquisitions #healthsystems
