TL;DR
This study examines whether the choice of relevant market area affects estimates of the effect of market structure on technology adoption, and compares the results with other studies of the diffusion of technology in hospitals.

Journal of Health EconomicsThe impact of hospital market structure on patient volume, average length of stay, and the cost of care
409 Citations1985James C. Robinson, Harold S. Luft
Under the retrospective reimbursement system in place at the time, hospitals in more competitive environments exhibited significantly higher costs of production than did those in less competitive environments.
JAMADoes Quality Influence Choice of Hospital?
278 Citations1990Harold S. Luft
Quality played an important role in choices among hospitals even before explicit data were widely available, and greater distance and public or proprietary ownership consistently reduced the likelihood of selection while medical school affiliation increased the likelihoodof selection.
PubMedAppropriate measures of hospital market areas.
206 Citations1987Deborah W. Garnick, Harold S. Luft +2 more
Market areas are compared based on various descriptions using data on California hospitals and patient discharge abstracts to provide a framework for evaluating which definitions of hospital market areas are suitable for various types of analyses.

The Economics of Health Care
126 Citations1990B Abel-Smith
Economics is centrally concerned about the use of scarce resources, and resources of many kinds are, almost by definition, particularly scarce in developing countries, which means a lower proportion of such a nation’s resources can be mobilized through taxation for communal purposes.
Journal of Health EconomicsProspective reimbursement and the diffusion of new technologies in hospitals
112 Citations1984Anthony A. Romeo, Judith L. Wagner +1 more
The analysis demonstrates the influence of prospective reimbursement on the diffusion of new technologies and it is clear that these effects depend upon the specific attributes of the prospective reimbursement program and the characteristics of the technologies themselves.
Medical CareChanges in the Costs of Treatment of Selected Illnesses, 1971-1981
111 Citations1985Anne A. Scitovsky
It is shown that in the period 1971-1981 the use of these technologies hardly changed but that several new and expensive technologies came into use, which raised medical care costs considerably.
BiometricsOn the Use of Indicator Variables for Studying the Time-Dependence of Parameters in a Response-Time Model
106 Citations1975Charles Brown
The study of the dependence of response-time data on a multivariate regressor variable in the presence of arbitrary censoring has been approached in a number of ways, with logistic regression methods that allow the underlying hazard to be a function of time but the relative effects of the covariates are independent of time.

77 Citations1985Morris A. Cohen, Hau L. Lee
A series of models belong to the multinomial logit class, which relate the probability of hospital selection to factors that include travel time between patients and hospitals, hospital attractiveness factors, physician characteristics, and patient characteristics are presented.
Journal of Health EconomicsDiffusion of surgical technology
74 Citations1986Frank A. Sloan, Joseph Valvona +2 more
An empirical analysis of the diffusion patterns of five surgical procedures shows innovation tends to be more likely to occur in markets in which the more generous payers predominate, and the marginal effects of payer mix are small compared to effects of location and hospital characteristics, such as size and teaching status.
Journal of Health EconomicsThe sensitivity of conditional choice models for hospital care to estimation technique
70 Citations1990Deborah W. Garnick, Erik Lichtenberg +4 more
The conditional choice model is estimated with the two techniques used previously to transform the non-linear choice model and it is concluded that maximum likelihood estimates are preferable when there are many zeros.

Competition encouraged and regulation discouraged the proliferation of these cardiac services in the period under consideration, with the greatest regulatory effects being observed in the most competitive hospital markets.
Socio-Economic Planning SciencesMeasures of hospital market structure: a review of the alternatives and a proposed approach
57 Citations1990Jack Zwanziger, Glenn Melnick +1 more
An empirical patient origin-based method for measuring hospital market structure is proposed and the results of sensitivity analyses using data on California hospitals demonstrate the robustness of the authors' measures over a broad range of parameter values.
PubMedPredicting hospital market shares.
57 Citations1983Folland St
The model presented here differs from most previous health facility research in that it is a multiattribute model that can be estimated by an efficient least squares technique that appropriately assures probability estimates confined to the zero-one interval.
PubMedThe effects of prospective reimbursement programs on hospital adoption and service sharing.
45 Citations1982Jerry Cromwell, J R Kanak
Evidence indicates a consistent, retarding effect on all services for New York, the country's oldest, most stringent program, and no consistent, significant effects on service sharing are found.
Journal of Health EconomicsThe diffusion of innovations in hospitals
37 Citations1985Robert H. Lee, Donald M. Waldman
Reanalysis of data for five innovations using an estimator with desirable statistical properties results in a considerably revised estimate of the impact of prospective reimbursement on diffusion.

19 Citations1974J. E. Meade
A model which mathematically replicates patient movement is introduced to act as an aid in the hospital planning process and is described to analyze patient flow among an assemblage of hospitals.

This paper traces the implementation of Michigan's program for hospital bed reduction through four phases in the critical first 30 months following enactment: standard-setting, plan development, plan approval, and legislative oversight.
