随着这种门诊服务日益成为趋势,美国的医疗体系从根本上发生了改变。都市健康的部分资金来自纳税人,医疗补助计划中的很大一部分人都享受着它的服务。数据显示,在过去的4年,它就诊总人数上升了40%,从85万上升到12万。
Outpatient visits, experts say, subsidize more expensive inpatient treatment.But some observers worry that the development of bedless hospitals is part of a financial shell game hospitals must play to make the dollars match up with the care they offer. And they wonder if such facilities are diverting resources away from a large population of patients who still require more complex treatment.
专家说,门诊病人节约下来的资金能补贴需要花大钱医治的住院病人。但是也有人担心随着“无床”的普及,会成为医院的敛财工具,病人得不到应有的医疗服务,同时还会占用住院病人的医疗资源。
"The untold story is what's happening to all of those patients who do still need to be in the hospital," said Harold Miller, chief executive of the Center for Health Care Quality and Payment Reform. "And are the places where they are going getting paid enough to support good care?" What's driving the development of bedless hospitals, said several hospital executives, are changes in reimbursement, both from the federal government and private insurers.
“医疗服务质量与支付改革中心”的首席执行官Harold说,那些经过治疗仍然需要后续住院病人,他们应该要去哪里得到资金以及医疗的支持和帮助?这个问题尚待解决。开设“无床医院”的初衷是为了减轻联邦政府和个人的医疗支出。
