What price cost containment?
Hospital costs are rising for many reasons, including the fact that more and better services are being provided. Legislative proposals to contain health care costs that ignore the benefits stemming from improvements in hospital care threaten to bring medical care progress to a halt. The cost-effectiveness of improved hospital services can and should be measured.
