Over the years, both government and the private sector have used a mix of regulatory controls and competitive market incentives to reduce the rate of spending and minimize excess capacity in health services. Despite these efforts, this study finds an oversupply of five medical technologies in Pennsylvania, which adds costs and raises concern over the quality of care provided by underused facilities. Moreover, as providers compete for network selection, many continue to expand their service capabilities. These findings emphasize the importance of ongoing assessment of the appropriate application, supply, and use of medical services.
多年来，政府和私营部门都采用了监管控制和竞争性市场激励措施相结合的方式，以降低支出率并尽量减少医疗服务中的产能过剩。尽管做出了这些努力，但本研究发现宾夕法尼亚州有五种医疗技术供应过剩，这增加了成本，并引发了人们对使用不足的设施所提供医疗服务质量的担忧。此外，随着医疗服务提供者争夺网络选择，许多人继续扩大其服务能力。这些发现强调了持续评估医疗服务的适当应用、供应和使用的重要性。
