Tiivistelmä: | Quality-of-care issues in the US dialysis industry have led to proposals to proscribe physician ownership on these facilities. The logic behind this approach relates to a profits/quality tradeoff created by the existing reimbursement structure. Given that tradeoff, separating ownership from quality-of-care decision making ostensibly could improve performance. The authors' empirical results, however, do not support that expectation. |
