Can hospitals serve both patients and stockholders?

"For-profit chains now own 15 percent of American hospitals. They say they are transforming a bureaucratic industry into an efficient provider of better quality care. But the expanding federal investigation of $20-billion hospital giant Columbia/HCA raises concerns that the pursuit of profits is leading to fraud and poor care.

In the most outrageous case, in 1993, the government accused National Medical Enterprises of paying "bounty hunters" to obtain patients for its psychiatric hospitals. Its doctors then gave wrong diagnoses to increase billings and held patients as young as 8 against their will until their insurance ran out. NME pleaded guilty and paid $379 million in penalties. Last month, under its new name, Tenet Healthcare Corp., it paid over $100 million to settle patient claims. Yet, Tenet is now the nation's second-largest chain.

Medicine never used to be like this. For a long time, insurers gave doctors carte blanche to run up charges. Some did. But the dominant professional ethic to do right by patients kept most from exploiting the system. For-profit hospitals have no ethic beyond making a buck. Their doctors are imbibing that spirit. That's what worries me."

How Much for That Dermatologist in the Window?

"The specialties that hospitals offer, and that residents choose, play an important role in determining the direction of medicine. Give a man a hammer and everything's a nail; make him a surgeon, and everyone needs an operation.

The problem is that because it takes so long to train new doctors—10 years after medical school in some fields—the models used to suss out future needs don't work well. They can account easily for future population and fairly well for the diseases people will have, but they can only make wild guesses about what technologies and treatments will be available to treat those diseases. The pediatrics my father learned during his residency in the late 1960s is different from the pediatrics he practiced in the 1980s and '90s—when there were new vaccines, new treatment guidelines, and even new diseases. When a government committee issued an influential report in 1980 about the supply of physicians, cardiac stents (the small mesh tubes that keep Vice President Dick Cheney's heart beating) hadn't even been invented. So, how could the committee guess how many invasive cardiologists would be needed today?"
