Preview Healthcare, Quality Concerns and Competition Law: A Systematic Approach
Description:
Market driven healthcare is massively divisive. Opponents argue that a competition approach to medical treatment negatively impacts on quality and access, while advocates point to increased efficiencies. This book casts a critical eye over both positions to show that the concerns over quality are in fact real. Taking a two-part approach, it unveils the fault lines along which the pursuit of competition in healthcare and the pursuit of quality would in certain cases clash. It then shows how competition authorities can only effectively assess competition concerns in healthcare when they ask the fundamental question of how the concept of healthcare quality should be defined and factored into their decisions. Drawing on UK, US and EU examples, it explores antitrust and merger cases in hospital, medical and health insurance markets to give an accurate depiction of the reality and challenges of regulating competition in healthcare provision.
