[How do medical facilities cope with a new medical fee system? A case study of the Kumamoto medical area].

In April 2000, a new medical fee system for hospitals designated for specific functions was introduced into the remuneration of medical services. A basic concept of this system is to pay a supplementary fee for hospital treatment during the acute treatment. In this study, in order to clarify the effect of this new system on hospital management, we performed the case study of three hospitals (Kumamoto National Hospital, Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital and Kumamoto Chuo Hospital) located in Kumamoto medical area. As a result, in this area, the basic qualitative aspects of medical care environment, such as the number of hospital beds and long-term facilities, was found to be well equipped. In addition, three hospitals differ in following points: 1) characteristics of clinical department, 2) management strategy. In conclusion, the case of the Kumamoto medical area was considered to provide an important model of collaboration and co-operation between medical facilities toward the new medical fee system.

Medical fee and service advertising: a response from physicians.

Restrictions on advertising about services performed by professional groups have recently been questioned by the government and consumerists. The purpose of this study was to determine physicians' attitudes about the use of advertising in their profession and also to compare these results with responses from dentists, attorneys, and accountants. While a survey of these groups in three metropolitan areas indicate mild support for advertising in general, there was a definite negative reaction to advertising in the respective professions. Participants also reported their attitudes about the effects of advertising on prices and fees, quality of services, and public expectation and governmental regulations. The concepts of social marketing and informative advertising are suggested as approaches that may meet the requirements of both the government and the professions.
