Axis University Hospital has decided that it needs to better coordinate its patient care from the moment patients enter the hospital until they leave and return to the care of their own physicians and specialists. Its CEO and CFO have scoured the Affordable Care Act and have decided to adopt the following steps: They have developed their own model of direct contracting with local physicians groups, particularly cardiologists and oncologists, designed to promote risk-based comprehensive payments. For elderly patients with comorbidities who often seem to move between home or nursing home and the hospital, they propose a coordinated care model in which gerontologists will be paid by salary rather than fee for service. For primary care physicians in their community catchment areas, they propose patient-centered medical homes that entail the use of medical technologies for monitoring, along with extensive electronic medical records keeping. Physicians who agree to participate in such medical homes will receive bonus payments based on their adoption of a range of treatment measures. For each of the three approaches, is the arrangement a collaboration or an integration? Why? What are the theories of liability to Axis University Hospital from each approach? What should Axis University Hospital do in each of the three situations to minimize its liability?

Nurse-practitioners are nurses with advanced qualifications who often act much like primary-care physicians. Are they as effective as doctors at treating patients with chronic conditions? An experiment was conducted with 1316 patients who had been diagnosed with asthma, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Within each condition, patients were randomly assigned to either a doctor or a nurse-practitioner. The response variables included measures of the patients' health and of their satisfaction with their medical care after 6 months. $^{44}$ (a) Which are the blocks in this experiment: the different diagnoses (asthma, and so on) or the type of care (nurse or doctor)? Why? (b) Explain why a randomized block design is preferable to a completely randomized design here.
