abstract = {Medicare?s prospective payment system (PPS), introduced in 1983, pays hospitals a fixed price
for each stay rather than reimbursing costs. Previous studies evaluated its first few years using
endogenous measures to control for heterogeneity in patients? health. We examine PPS over a
full decade using competing risks Cox survival models and a national longitudinal survey with
independent information on patients? health. New findings include: risk of death in hospital
increased; risk of discharge to a nursing home continued to increase as PPS matured; and risk of
nursing home admission from the community following hospital discharge rose. HMOs may
have contributed to these outcomes.},
