Abstract

Several recent analyses of the structure, conduct and performance of local hospital markets base their market definitions on geographic constructs that fail to consider the implications of a market's location relative to other hospital markets. In this note we show the importance of relational aspects of hospital markets. Use of any a priori measure of hospital markets that does not consider these aspects should be reconsidered.

摘要

最近对地方医院市场的结构、行为和绩效进行的几项分析，其市场定义基于地理概念，但并未考虑一个市场相对于其他医院市场的位置所带来的影响。在本报告中，我们展示了医院市场关系层面的重要性。任何不考虑这些层面的医院市场先验衡量标准的使用都应重新审视。
