In this analysis we made use of a large data base of individuals insured by large American corporations to estimate the impact of managed care provision on hospital care for depression. Data on 6,348 individuals hospitalized for depression were examined to assess the effect of managed care techniques on the cost per episode and the likelihood of rehospitalization. Preadmission certification programs were found to lead to significant long- and short-run savings for payers.
在本分析中，我们利用了一个由美国大公司承保的个人的大型数据库，以估计管理式医疗服务对抑郁症住院治疗的影响。我们检查了6348名因抑郁症住院的患者的数据，以评估管理式医疗技术对每次发作成本和再次住院可能性的影响。研究发现，入院前认证计划能为支付方带来显著的长期和短期节省。
