This results in a lack of discipline that allows for pervasive excess care and exorbitant prices.
Such excess care has been associated with higher risk adjusted mortality.
The results identify underprovision of community-based rehabilitation and support services compared with needs, which may contribute directly to excess care burden and costs to family carers.
The underprovision of community-based rehabilitation and support services may contribute directly to excess care burden and costs to family carers which was calculated to average >£10 000/person/year in this study.
This study estimates the total excess care costs in the first 12 months after first-ever stroke to be 629 million SEK (€69 million) per year for a population of 1.5 million in the Västra Götaland county, western Sweden (Table 4).
If the quality of weekend care is the cause of excess mortality (care effect), then a bump in death risk should diminish after re-exposure to weekday care (H1, figure 1).
Regardless of registered Indian status, diabetes was associated with excess health care utilization and twice the overall health care costs of controls, an estimate similar to previous studies [ 16, 38].
That's a classic "health care is different" solution to the problem of excess health-care costs: pass a law guaranteeing the "sale price" to publicly funded patients.
Hospitalizations expose nursing home (NH) residents to disruptions in care, iatrogenic events and related morbidity, and result in excess health care costs.
For each day shift, matching of required and available care was analyzed: mismatch is expressed as nurse deficit: positive values indicate excess of care (too many nurses for not too sick patients), zero suggests that assistance requirements are met, with negative values available care is less than patients' needs.
