Video Summary
In this video, Oliver Tang, a medical student at Brown University, presents research conducted with Dr. Toms at Rhode Island Hospital on how interhospital competition impacts neurosurgical outcomes. The study analyzed data from the National Inpatient Sample and found that higher competition was associated with lower mortality for tumor admissions but longer length of stay for overall admissions. There was no significant association between competition and discharge disposition or inpatient complications. However, charges were higher in more competitive markets without a corresponding increase in costs. The study suggests that hospitals may prioritize competing based on easily observable metrics rather than clinically meaningful ones. Policy and practice implications include the need to realign hospital competition towards meaningful quality metrics.
