SUMMARY:Fachvortrag "Impact of competition versus centralisation of care on
  hospital treatment quality:  A multilevel analysis of cancer surgery in F
 rance"
DESCRIPTION:The implications of competition in health\, particularly among 
 hospitals\, on care quality have been the subject of considerable theoreti
 cal and empirical debate. On one hand\, economic theory suggests that when
  prices are regulated\, firms compete for consumers on non-price dimension
 s (i.e. quality)\, hence quality will be increased in competitive markets.
  On the other hand\, hospital consolidations have been justified by the ne
 ed to exploit cost advantages (economies of scale) acquired through merger
 s\, and by quality concerns recognising that hospital volume and care qual
 ity are related. Hence hospital markets are increasingly concentrated.\n\n
 Based on a study of patient-level data from two years\, 2005 and 2012\, in
  order to track changes in market competition and treatment patterns in br
 east cancer surgery the presentation will question whether\, and to what e
 xtent\, concentration in French hospital markets for cancer care has affec
 ted clinical practices and treatment quality. It will introduce the issues
  around measuring the link between competition and quality and present a n
 ovel way of examining quality and competition.\n\nGlobally\, the results s
 uggest that local market competition may be a trigger for hospitals to inv
 est in novel and better quality treatments. Yet\, hospital volume remains 
 a significant indicator of quality\, therefore benefits of competition ver
 sus centralisation appear to be sensitive to the estimates of the impact o
 f volume on outcomes. Furthermore\, the findings show that different hospi
 tal types have different practice styles and that centralisation of activi
 ty have contributed to improving cancer treatment in France.\n\nVortragend
