Only when employers demand medical home benefits from health plans, and insurers cover those benefits, can we make a dent in the fragmentation, excessive costs and poor outcomes that plague our system today.
In the Australian health care system, historical divisions of responsibility for funding and delivery between three levels of government have produced a complex mix of organizational and payment arrangements and this has given rise to service fragmentation and cost shifting [ 15].
The proper blast design in surface mines is essential to secure the desired fragmentation and minimize costs.
Domestic trade can promote adjustments to the export propensity by strengthening supply-demand matching and reducing market fragmentation and transaction costs (Zhang, 2014).
A review of TB control in Nepal concludes that decentralization...can lead to inequity, political manipulation, fragmentation, increased bureaucratic costs and the overall weakening of the public sector...and affects the incentives and career prospects of health staff.
Robert Yehl Sanford, Fla., April 20, 2009 The writer is the city manager of Sanford, Fla., and is writing a dissertation about fragmentation and the cost of government in the Dallas and Houston metropolitan area.
The numerical model is able to simulate the result of fragmentation at the cost of identifying two mechanical parameters, namely Young's modulus and critical stress.
It's a way to get around fragmentation issues that cost many Android developers users and reviews, and it also helps mobile software encounter a huge range of network conditions, situations and eventualities that would be hard to replicate with traditional testing through simulation, so that apps can be ready to handle any hiccup.
Structured domain decomposition is applied on the colliding bodies directly, resulting in a low-cost fragmentation calculation that depends on relative velocity, but which does not require the computation of fracture growth nor explicit element de-bonding, but instead classifies pre-existing mesh elements into the newly fragmented sub-domains.
To obtain an indication of possible fragmentation effects, a least-cost analysis was used to compare travel costs of the butterflies between suitable habitat patches for the different scenarios.
