How do fee-for-service and capitation payment systems affect the physician’s role as the patient’s agent?
What information would you need and how would you use it to determine whether
physicians were over- or underutilizing aides in their practice?
2.
What is “cost shifting”? Explain why an increase in a hospital’s fixed costs or an increase in the number of
