Case Study: Effects of the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model on Potentially Avoidable Utilization
Donald Bourne, MPH, MD-PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health used data from the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4) for his research dissertation study entitled, “Early Impacts of the Pennsylvania Rural Health Model on Potentially Avoidable Utilization.” Mr. Bourne expressed, “The Pennsylvania Rural Health Model (PARHM) is a payment model focused on the rural community. The model’s goals include improving financial health of rural hospitals, increasing access to high-quality care, improving population health outcomes, and reducing avoidable hospital expenditures. Our results show that PARHM moved the needle on reducing avoidable hospital expenditures for some groups of hospitals, but not all. It may be that a model as large in scope as this takes time for effects to mature, or the model may require changes in how it is structured.”
