This effect is greater for hospitals with higher absorptive capacity (high R&D investment and with teaching status).
According to ATL's analysis of the latest government figures, in 2011 just 62% of teachers who gained qualified teaching status that year were still teaching a year later.
Sylva has proved that when pre-school teachers are trained to qualified teaching status standard and paid the same as primary school teachers, they do a better job.
Teachstat : It is teaching status dummy variable.
Institutional factors included hospital ownership, teaching status, accreditation status, and bed size.
Furthermore, the dataset covers information on hospitals like ownership type, bed size, and teaching status.
Teaching status (Teachstat) of the hospital is positively related with inefficiency score at 5% level of significance.
Hospital invariant control variables (ownership status, equipment level, and teaching status) are only included in regressions with hospital random effects.
Hospital teaching status, region, hospital size, and patient race did not influence the occurrence of NE.
These cost and outcome differences persisted even after adjustment for patient age, comorbidity, hospital teaching status, and other characteristics.
Although the database excludes federally funded hospitals (e.g., Veterans Affairs), the hospitals included are nationally representative based on bed size, geographic region, location (urban/rural), and teaching status.
