Kaufman Strategic Advisors Managing Director Nate Kaufman responded to the RAND Corporation’s flawed and incomplete hospital pricing survey in a new analysis published today.
According to Kaufman, the RAND report “commoditized quality and care delivery; ignored the importance of physicians in the care delivery process; and assumed that a reduction in services, physicians, and facilities would not be the most likely response to their irrational pricing demands.”
The AHA issued its own statement and blog post on the report.
