Individual and Institutional Corruption in European and US Healthcare: Overview and Link of Various Corruption Typologies

Estimates from the European Healthcare Fraud and Corruption Network calculate an approximate €56 billion annual loss to Europe as a result of corruption. To promote understanding of the complexity and interconnection of corrupt activities, we aim to present healthcare-related corruption typologies of the European Union and European Healthcare Fraud and Corruption Network. We subsequently link them to the typology of individual and institutional corruption introduced by Dennis Thompson in the context of investigating misconduct of US Congressional members. According to Thompson, individual corruption is the personal gain of individuals performing duties within an institution in exchange for nurturing private interests, while institutional corruption pertains to the failure of the institution in directing the individual's behaviour towards the achievement of the institution's primary purpose because the ...

Hospital physician payment mechanisms in Austria: do they provide gateways to institutional corruption?

Health Economics Review, 2017

Institutional corruption in the health care sector has gained considerable attention during recen... more Institutional corruption in the health care sector has gained considerable attention during recent years, as it acknowledges the fact that service providers who are acting in accordance with the institutional and environmental settings can nevertheless undermine a health care system's purposes as a result of the (financial) conflicts of interest to which the service providers are exposed. The present analysis aims to contribute to the examination of institutional corruption in the health sector by analyzing whether the current payment mechanism of separately remunerating salaried hospital physicians for treating supplementary insured patients in public hospitals, in combination with the public hospital physician's possibility of taking up dual practice as a self-employed physician with a private practice and/or as an attending physician in private hospitals, has the potential to undermine the primary purposes of the Austrian public health care system. Based on the analysis of the institutional design of the Austrian public hospital sector, legal provisions and directives have been identified, which have the potential to promote conduct on the part of the public hospital physician that systematically undermines the achievement of the Austrian public health system's primary purposes.

Flexible Fertigungssysteme und ihr Einfluß auf das Marktverhalten und den Wettbewerb

Ganz besonders gilt dies fur den Paradigmenwechsel im Bereich der Fertigungstechnologie. In diesem Beitrag werden zunachst die Wechselwirkungen zwischen technischem Fortschritt und Marktverhalten von Anbietern und Nachfragern skizziert. Anschliesend wird auf die Rolle des Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) im Rahmen flexibler Fertigungssysteme (FFS) eingegangen und marktverandernde Potentiale dargestellt. Abschliesend werden empirische Arbeiten zur Diffusion von FFS diskutiert.

The interplay between regulation and efficiency: Evidence from the Austrian hospital inpatient sector

The implementation of an integrated master plan, which contains input and output target values for the overall health care system, is an important regulatory intervention. To support the regulatory authorities, efficiency studies that simultaneously reveal input and output improvement potential can be promising. To serve this purpose, we computed bootstrapped non-oriented super-efficiency measures to identify any improvement potential in inputs and outputs for the Austrian hospital inpatient sector for four years. Variations in hospital efficiency were investigated using non-parametric post-efficiency analyses.

The research concentrates on differences in response among publicly-owned and privately-owned, not for profit hospitals by exploring hospital data from 1994 to 1997 with regard to credit point optimisation, shifts in performance from the inpatient to the outpatient care unit and from the outpatient care unit to physicians with their own practice, and changes in average length of stay. Techniques applied range from index figures to weighting figures and, at least, Data Envelopment efficiency scores.
