Competition, quality and integrated health care

Brekke, K. R., Siciliani, L., & Straume, O. R. (2024). Competition, quality and integrated health care. Journal of Health Economics, 95, 102880. doi: 10.1016/j.jhealeco.2024.102880

This study examines the effects of integrated healthcare on treatment quality, using a model where providers compete on quality under regulated prices. Integration has mixed effects: it reduces competition by making demand less responsive to quality but increases patient value due to bundled services. The study finds integration doesn’t always improve quality and may lead to quality divergence or convergence, affecting patient outcomes. Cost asymmetries between services or providers further complicate these effects. Integration is beneficial when cost synergies exist but may cause inefficiencies if providers excel in some services but not others. Policies promoting integration should consider service-specific characteristics, as partial integration often results in lower quality. Integration is most favorable when synergies exist or financial incentives are weak and less favorable with strong incentives and quality variations. The study highlights the need for careful evaluation of integrated care policies to balance competition and integration for optimal healthcare outcomes.
