Hospital services

The calculation of direct household costs of HIV/AIDS is quite difficult. First, resource consumption is hardly documented, so that patients have to be interviewed or be asked to keep household diaries for all expenditure due to their disease. Second, it is frequently not easy to allot a certain expenditure to a specific disease. Co-payments for drugs, practitioner, and hospital services as well as transport to and from the provider are easily allocated to the COI of this disease. But other direct household costs might be even higher, such as the costs of a special diet, but it is very difficult to analyze whether these costs are really incurred due to this illness. Studies demonstrate that direct household costs might be small in developed countries, but they might make up to 50% of the total COI in developing countries (Su et al. 2006).

Total expenditure on all pharmaceuticals in 2001-2 was estimated at AUD 10304 million. This included AUD 1315 million on drugs used by hospitals in the provision of hospital services, which are not normally included in national estimates of expenditure on pharmaceuticals, but are included as part of estimates of expenditure on hospitals. The AUD 1315 million estimated expenditure comprised AUD 1105 million on drugs dispensed in public hospitals and AUD 210 million in private hospitals. Commonwealth expenditure on non-hospital pharmaceuticals was AUD 8989 milhon in 2001-2, comprising AUD 5586 million on benefit-paid pharmaceuticals and AUD 3320 million on other non-hospital pharmaceuticals. 

In this analysis, pharmaceutical spending includes spending on prescription drugs dispensed outside of hospitals. Drugs prescribed in hospitals are part of hospitals budgets and cannot be distinguished from other hospital services. Over-the-counter drugs are also excluded.

The 1940s witnessed further changes in the structure of the U.S. health care system, not only for physicians but for hospitals as well. The 1946 ITill-Bur-ton Hospital Construction Act allocated almost U.S. 4 million from 1946 to 1971 for the expansion of hospitals and hospital services within the U.S. This act was one of the federal government s first investments in health care. By funding the construction of hospitals throughout most communities after WWII, the Hill-Burton Act created new opportunities, positions, and technical challenges for pharmacists.

Still, billing-related records carry well-worked out classification codes for diseases and treatments represented in standards, such as ICD-9-CM volume 1 and 2 as the code set for diagnosis codes, ICD-9-CM volume 3 for inpatient hospital services, CDT for dental services, and NDC codes for drugs. This is enough form to obtain knowledge for the common good on analysis of patient data. Pharmaceutical companies, FDA, and medical researchers have already started to access and analyze the anonymized form of these data. 

During a war many emergency facilities, professional medical assistance, and hospital services could be severely reduced or destroyed. It will be the responsibility of the individual to do all that he can to protect himself. OCDM, in cooperation with the U.S. Public Health Service, has been conducting Project MEND at the Public Health Service Hospital in Boston, Mass.

Older individuals frequently attach primary importance to their health concerns and this helps explain why they use hospital services, physician services, and long-term care services more than any other age group (Rhodes, 1988). From a physician s perspective, dealing with clients who are 65 and older has become a practice reality because this age group now makes up more than one third of all primary care visits (Kane, Ouslander, Abrass, 1999).
