Appendix A ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS: ALL S , ALL DIFFERENT, THE AME OR ... Report Prepared for The Committee on the Roles of Academic Health Centers in the 21st Century Presented by: Gerard Anderson, Ph.D. The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health July 30, 2002 161

162 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS OBJECTIVES This analysis examines the variation in roles across academic health centers (AHCs) for calendar year 2000. Roles examined are research, edu- cation, patient care, and care for the poor and uninsured. The rates of change in these roles between 1990 and 2000 are compared. The objectives of the analysis are to: · Determine whether there are natural groupings of AHCs. · Compare the activities among (1) AHC hospitals, (2) large teaching hospitals, and (3) small teaching hospitals. DEFINITIONS For purposes of this analysis, the following definitions are used: Academic health center (AHC) -- Consists of a medical school and only one primary teaching hos- pital. -- The primary teaching hospital is determined based on data show- ing where most of the residents are trained. Data on other affili- ated teaching hospitals are not included in the definition of an AHC. Some expert judgment was also involved in choosing the primary teaching hospital. A primary teaching hospital could not be established for osteopathic medical schools. -- Data from nursing, public health, and other related health profes- sions schools, if they exist, are included in the definition of the AHC. Hospital classification -- Large teaching hospital--not the primary affiliate of a medical school and has more than 0.25 residents per bed. -- Small teaching hospital--not the primary affiliate of a medical school, and has an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) approved residency program and 0.25 or fewer residents per bed. -- Private hospital--includes both nonprofit and for-profit hospi- tals. -- Freestanding AHC--not a component of a larger university; pri- mary activity is as an academic medical center. -- University-based AHC--combine the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) definitions of related/proximate and related/distant institutions. Proximate medical schools are located

APPENDIX A 163 in the same city as the parent university; distant medical schools are not located in the same city as the parent university. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds--include direct and indirect payments. Graduate Medical Education (GME) payments--include only direct gradu- ate medical education payments from Medicare Cost Reports worksheet E3, Part IV. Small metropolitan statistical area (MSA)--an area with fewer than 1 mil- lion inhabitants. AHC top 50 ranking -- AHCs were ranked based on the level of: ­ Total NIH funding ­ Total Medicare disproportionate share (DSH) funding ­ Total direct Medicare GME funding -- AHCs were then classified based on whether they were in the top 50 in none, one, two, or all three above categories (for example, top 50 in both NIH and GME funding). Dispersion--defined as the ratio of the value of the academic medical center at the 75th percentile to the value of the academic medical center at the 25th percentile. -- Low dispersion--ratio of the 75th percentile to the 25th percen- tile is less than 2.0. -- Medium dispersion--ratio of the 75th percentile to the 25th per- centile is 2.0 to 2.9 -- High dispersion--ratio of the 75th percentile to the 25th percen- tile is 3.0 or greater. Margins The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) calculated three types of margins for this analysis that are included in Tables A-1 and A-2: Medicare hospital inpatient margins excluding direct GME payments and costs, overall Medicare margins including direct GME payments and costs, and total hospital margins. These calculations use 1999 data and are based on a slightly different sample of hospitals. The margins are calculated as revenues minus costs divided by rev- enues. The Medicare margins are based on Medicare-allowed costs. The overall Medicare margin includes the largest Medicare services: acute inpa- tient, outpatient, rehabilitation, and psychiatric units; skilled nursing facil- ity; and home health agency. It also reflects Medicare payments for direct GME and bad debts. The total margin reflects the relationship of all hospi- tal revenues to all costs (including Medicare-nonallowed costs).

164 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS METHODS Roles As noted, this analysis examines four activities of academic health centers, which are measured using available indicators: research, education, patient care, and indigent care. Analysis of the data is presented by role. Only statistically significant results are discussed. Statistically significant results that are obvious, such as hospitals with more beds also having a higher average daily census, are not discussed. Data Sources The following data sources are used in this analysis: · Medicare Hospital Cost Reports for FY 1990 and 1999 · American Hospital Association Annual Surveys for 1990 and 2000 · NIH data on trends in awards to medical schools 1990 and 2000 · American Association of Health Service Library Surveys, 1990 and 2000 · American Association of Colleges of Nursing Annual Survey, 1994 and 2001, special runs performed for this project · AAMC, special runs performed for this project. · MedPAC, special runs performed for this project DATA ANALYSIS These analyses are based on 120 AHC hospitals and 119 medical schools. Cost data for FY 1990 and 1999 are based on 117 hospitals. · Statistics provided for all variables as of the calendar year 2000: -- Mean -- 25th percentile -- Median -- 75th percentile -- Total rate of change between 1990 and 2000 · Characteristics of Academic health center hospitals: -- Size ­ Fewer than 500 beds ­ Greater than or equal to 500 beds -- Ownership ­ Government ­ Private (nonprofit or for-profit)

166 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS · Table A-6--Rate of Change in Activity by Top 50 Funding Crite- ria, 1990­2000 · Table A-7--Comparison of Hospitals by Teaching Program Size, 2000 · Table A-8--Rate of Change in Activity by Teaching Program Size, 1990­2000 · Table A-9--Provision of Specialized Services by Teaching Status · Table A-10--Comparison of Market Share by Teaching Program Size SUMMARY OF RESULTS BY ROLE Research · The greatest disparity among AHCs occurs in level of research funding. · Certain categories of AHCs received more research funding than others. · NIH funding increased 126 percent at the mean AHC between 1990 and 2000. · While there were differences in the rate of increase in research fund- ing across AHCs between 1990 and 2000, there were few statistically sig- nificant differences by type of AHC. Education · In general, educational variables showed moderate to low dispersion and generally did not vary systematically by type of AHC. · The number of residents increased by 35 percent and the number of nursing students increased by 9 percent between 1990 and 2000. · GME payments per resident actually declined from 1990 to 2000 by 3 percent. · There was little systematic change between 1990 and 2000 in the level of commitment to education by category of AHC. Patient Care · Patient care services showing moderate dispersion across AHCs were total emergency room visits, total outpatient visits, Medicare inpatient days, Medicaid inpatient days, and percent Medicaid inpatient days. All the other patient care services had low dispersion. The committee noted the low dispersion in percent Medicare days. · Among AHCs, the greatest dispersion among patient care services was seen between AHCs with large and small hospitals and between hospi- tals located in the Northeast and those located elsewhere.

APPENDIX A 167 · Between 1990 and 2000, the most rapid increase occurred in outpa- tient and emergency room visits. · On most patient care variables, there were no systematic differences in the rate of change between 1990 and 2000 by category of AHC. Disproportionate Share · There was high dispersion in DSH payments per Medicare discharge. · Higher DSH payments per Medicare discharge were received by AHCs located in larger MSAs and by public AHCs. · Mean DSH payments per Medicare discharge increased 91 percent between 1990 and 2000. There were no systematic differences by category of AHC. Market Share · Hospitals were classified into four groups--AHC hospitals, large teaching, small teaching, and nonteaching hospitals. AHC hospitals gener- ally provide more education, patient care, and DSH share than the other types of hospitals. · AHC hospitals generally provide more education, patient care, and disproportionate share than the other types of hospitals. · The level of commitment to education did not change among AHC hospitals, large teaching hospitals, and small teaching hospitals between 1990 and 2000. · While AHCs are only 3 percent of all hospitals, they provide a much larger proportion of training and patient care. However, they are not the majority (> 50 percent) producer of any services. They provide 48 percent of residency training. · The market share of AHCs increased between 1990 and 2000. Notes on Table A-1 Dispersion Across the AHCs by Activity Research · The greatest dispersion across the AHCs for all variables occurs with respect to the level of NIH funding. In 2000, the AHC at the 25th percentile received $11.6 million in NIH funding, compared with $90.7 million for the AHC at the 75th percentile. In other words, the AHC at the 75th percentile received 7.8 times more NIH funding than the AHC at the 25th percentile. Using this measure of dispersion, this is the indicator with the largest variation of all variables analyzed. · Among all indicators studied, the second-greatest amount of disper- sion occurs with respect to NIH funding per full-time equivalent (FTE)

168 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS faculty member. At the 25th percentile, the average faculty member receives $27,244 in NIH funding, compared with $86,769 at the 75th percentile. Education · Across AHCs, there is moderate dispersion in the total number of residents and total clinical faculty. · Across academic health centers, there is relatively low variance in biological Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) scores, percentage family practice residents, percentage internal medicine residents, percentage pediatrics residents, percentage primary care residents, number of residents per bed, GME payments per resident, number of nursing school graduates, and library recurring expenditures. Patient Care Services · None of the patient care services showed high dispersion across the AHC hospitals. · Moderate dispersion was demonstrated in: -- Total emergency room visits -- Total outpatient visits -- Total Medicare inpatient days -- Total Medicaid inpatient days -- Percent Medicaid inpatient days · Low dispersion was demonstrated in -- Average daily census -- Total hospital inpatient beds -- Occupancy rate -- Total inpatient days -- Percent Medicare inpatient days -- Medicare case mix index -- Total FTE personnel -- FTE nurses per 1,000 inpatient days -- Total FTE personnel per 1,000 inpatient days -- Length of stay (overall, Medicare, Medicaid) · There was high dispersion in disproportionate share payments per Medicare discharge. Notes on Table A-2 Comparison of the AHC by Characteristic AHC Characteristics · AHCs in larger MSAs, AHC hospitals with more than 500 beds, and

APPENDIX A 169 AHCs with medical schools founded before 1960 all received more total NIH funding than their counterparts in 2000. Research · There was no difference in the level of total NIH funding between freestanding and university-based AHCs or between public and private institutions. · NIH funding per FTE faculty member was greater in larger MSAs, AHCs with larger hospitals, medical schools founded prior to 1960, and AHCs located in the West. · No difference in the level of NIH funding per FTE faculty member was detected between public and private institutions or between freestand- ing and university-based AHCs. Education · AHCs in large MSAs and medical schools founded prior to 1960 had higher resident-to-bed ratios and more recurring library expenditures. · AHCs located in the West had the highest ratios of residents to beds. · AHCs located in the Northeast received the highest level of GME funding per resident. Patient Care · AHC hospitals located in small MSAs had a higher percentage of Medicare patients and lower Medicare overall and inpatient margins. · Public AHC hospitals had a smaller percentage of Medicare patients and a larger percentage of Medicaid patients than private hospitals. · Smaller AHC hospitals had more FTEs per 1,000 inpatient days, shorter overall and Medicare lengths of stay, and a lower Medicare case mix. · AHC hospitals whose medical school was founded before 1960 had more nurses per 1,000 inpatient days. · AHC hospitals located in the Northeast had the longest lengths of stay (overall, and Medicare), fewest FTE nurses per 1,000 inpatient day, fewest FTE personnel per 1,000 inpatient days, lowest percent of Medicaid days, highest occupancy rate, and highest Medicare overall and Medicare inpatient margins. DSH Funds · AHC hospitals located in larger MSAs received higher DSH pay- ments per Medicare discharge. · Public AHC hospitals received higher DSH payments per Medicare beneficiary. · AHC hospitals located in the West received more DSH payments per Medicare discharge.

170 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS Notes on Table A-3 Comparison by Top 50 in Funding Criteria · AHCs with the highest resident-to-bed ratios were in the top 50 in GME only while AHCs that were in the top 50 in DSH only had the lowest ratios. · AHCs that are in the top 50 on GME only received the highest GME payments per resident while AHCs in the top 50 in NIH only received the lowest. · AHCs that are in the top 50 in both NIH and GME had the most nursing graduates, while those that were not in the top 50 on any category had the least. · AHC hospitals that were in the top 50 for DSH only had the highest percentage of Medicaid days, while those that are in the top 50 in NIH and GME had the lowest. · AHC hospitals with the highest occupancy rates were in the top 50 for GME only, while hospitals with the lowest occupancy rates were not in the top 50 in any category. Notes on Table A-4 Rate of Change in Activity by Statistical Dispersion Category (1990-2000) Research · The mean increase in NIH funding for all AHCs between 1990 and 2000 was 126 percent. The increase in the level of funding varied consider- ably. The AHC at the 25th percentile had an NIH funding increase of 60 percent while the AHC at the 75th percentile had an NIH funding increase of 161 percent. Education · At AHC hospitals, the total number of residents increased an aver- age of 33 percent between 1990 and 2000. The number of residents in- creased 1 percent in the AHC hospital at the 25th percentile and 44 percent in the AHC hospital at the 75th percentile · The resident-per-bed ratio increased by 35 percent between 1990 and 2000. The ratio in the AHC hospital at the 25th percentile increased 12 percent while that in the AHC hospital of the 75th percentile increased 50 percent. · The mean of the distribution of percentage changes across all institu- tions that graduated nurses in both 1990 and 2000 was 9 percent. At the

APPENDIX A 171 25th percentile, the decline was 17 percent, while at the 75th percentile the increase was 12 percent. Patient Care · Between 1990 and 2000, the greatest increase occurred in outpatient visits, followed by emergency room visits and total FTE personnel per 1,000 inpatient days. Patient Care--DSH · The mean AHC hospital received 91 percent more in DSH payments per Medicare discharge in 2000 than in 1990. The 25th percentile AHC hospital received 31 percent more, while the 75th percentile AHC hospital received 123 percent more. Notes on Table A-5 Rate of Change in Activity by AHC Characteristic (1990-2000) · On most educational variables, the rate of increase between 1990 and 2000 did not vary systematically by category of AHC. The one excep- tion was total residents, which increased more rapidly at private hospitals. · There were few statistically significant differences in the rate of in- crease from 1990 to 2000 by category of AHC hospital for patient care variables. The one major exception was private hospitals, which had greater increases in the number of outpatient visits and total FTE personnel and showed a more rapid decline in overall length of stay. It is also noted that private hospitals had a statistically significant increase in hospital beds as compared with public hospitals, which experienced a decline in that time period. · AHC hospitals in the Midwest showed the greatest decline in overall length of stay (LOS) while those in the Northeast showed the greatest overall decline in Medicare LOS. · AHCs whose medical schools were founded before 1960 saw their NIH funds increase more rapidly than AHCs whose medical schools were founded during or after 1960. · There were no statistically significant differences in rate of increase in NIH funding by: -- Level of funding in 1990 -- MSA size -- Number of hospital beds -- University based vs. freestanding -- Ownership (public vs. private) -- Region

172 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS Notes on Table A-6 Rate of Change in Activity by Top 50 Funding Criteria · AHC hospitals in the top 50 in NIH and GME funding showed the greatest decline in percent Medicaid inpatient days. · There were no statistically significant differences in rates of increase in any of the other research, patient care, or education variables by funding category. Notes on Table A-7 Comparison of Hospitals by Teaching Program Size Research No data available. Education Compared with the other teaching hospitals, AHC hospitals had: · More total residents · Higher-resident-to bed ratios · Lower Medicare GME payments per resident Patient Care Compared with other teaching hospitals, AHC hospitals were much larger. They had: · Higher daily censuses · More emergency room visits · More outpatient visits · More hospital beds · Higher occupancy rates · More Medicare days · More Medicaid days · More total inpatient days · Higher proportion of Medicaid days · Higher Medicare case mix · Longer overall, Medicare, and Medicaid lengths of stay · Lower percentage of Medicare days. · Given their higher intensity of care, it is somewhat surprising that there were no statistically significant differences in number of FTE nurses per 1,000 inpatient days.

APPENDIX A 173 Patient Care--DSH Funds Compared with other teaching hospitals, AHC hospitals received higher DSH payments Notes on Table A-8 Rate of Change in Activity by Teaching Program Size (1990-2000) · The only statistically significant difference in the rate of change between 1990 and 2000 on any of the education variables among the three groups was in residents per bed. AHCs had the smallest rate of change among the three groups of teaching hospitals. · Between 1990 and 2000, AHC hospitals had: -- Smallest reduction in hospital beds -- Smallest reduction in average daily census -- Smallest reduction in percent of Medicare inpatient days -- Greatest overall decline in percent of Medicaid days -- Largest increase in Medicare case mix index -- Smallest reduction in overall length of stay · There were no statistically significant differences in the rate of change between 1990 and 2000 in DSH payments. Notes on Table A-9 Provision of Specialized Services by Teaching Status · AHC hospitals represented 3 percent of all hospitals in 2000. · In no category did they provide a majority of services. However, they: -- Trained 48 percent of all residents -- Provided 20 percent of Medicaid inpatient days -- Provided 16 percent of Medicaid hospital discharges -- Provided 13 percent of all inpatient days -- Provided 11 percent of all hospital discharges -- Represented 10 percent of all hospital beds -- Provided 9 percent of all Medicare days -- Provided 8 percent of all Medicare discharges · The percent of specialty services available at AHC hospitals shown in the table measures the availability of services, not the use of services. The services for which more than 20 percent are available at AHC hospitals are burn unit, transplant services, pediatric unit, and positron emission tomog- raphy (PET) scanner.

174 ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS Notes on Table A-10 Comparison of Market Share by Teaching Program Size · In 1990, AHCs represented 2 percent of hospitals, 7 percent of hospital beds, and 8 percent of total discharges. By 1999, AHCs repre- sented 3 percent of all hospitals, 10 percent of all hospital beds, and 11 percent of total discharges. The AHC share of Medicare and Medicaid discharges increased similarly. In general, AHCs and major teaching hospitals increased their market share between 1990 and 1999, while small teaching and nonteaching hospi- tals lost market share.

Academic health centers are currently facing enormous changes that will impact their roles in education, research, and patient care. The aging and diversity of the population will create new health care needs and demands, while rapid advances in technology will fundamentally alter the health care systems’ capabilities. Pressures on health care costs, growth of the uninsured, and evidence of quality problems in health care will create a challenging environment that demands change.

Academic Health Centers explores how AHCs will need to consider how to redirect each of their roles so they are able to meet the burgeoning challenges of health care and improve the health of the people they serve. The methods and approaches used in preparing health professionals, the relationship among the variety of their research programs and the design of clinical care will all need examination if they are to meet the changing demands of the coming decades.

Policymakers will need to create incentives to support innovation and change in AHCs. In response, AHCs will need to increase the level of coordination and integration across their roles and the individual organizations that comprise the AHC if they are to successfully undertake the types of changes needed. Academic Health Centers lays out a strategy to start a continuing and long-term process of change.
