Adding value to relative-value units.
R units (RVUs) were developed in 1988 as a method of accounting for physicians’ work effort and hospital or clinic expenses. Because RVUs provided a uniform, formulaic metric for myriad clinical services, they quickly became the prevailing method for setting feefor-service payments for Medicare and private insurance. However, the dominance of the fee-forservice model has created strong structur...
متن کاملHow to Measure Company Productivity using Value-added:
How should the performance of a manufacturing company be assessed, relative to firms making similar products, at home and abroad? This paper shows how company-level productivity measures can be developed from public financial data to provide a more comprehensive gauge of firm performance than profit rates alone. As a specific example, we focus on the Korean steelmaker, POSCO. Founded four decad...

Habitat suitability (HS) modeling relates a species’ potential presence/absence to a set of environmental variables. because of stochastic or demographic population fluctuations, relating abundance to environment is difficult and generally requires time-series of population-density data. Here, I propose an approach to compute relative capacity of a set of habitat classes. I defined relative cap...
متن کاملProductivity changes of units: A directional measure of cost Malmquist index
This study examines the productivity changes of decision making units in situation whereinput price vectors are varying between them and inputs are heterogeneous; that is a noncompetitivemarket. We present a directional measure of cost Malmquist productivity indexwhere incorporates the decision maker's preference over productivity change over time. Asimple numerical example is designed to illus...
متن کاملUnits of measure in clinical information systems.
The authors surveyed existing standard codes for units of measures, such as ISO 2955, ANSI X3.50, and Health Level 7's ISO+. Because these standards specify only the character representation of units, the authors developed a semantic model for units based on dimensional analysis. Through this model, conversion between units and calculations with dimensioned quantities become as simple as calcul...
