About This Grant

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT (DESCRIPTION) Across the United States, hospital markets are becoming increasingly concentrated via organizational mergers, acquisitions, and closures. Hospital consolidation can reduce competitive incentives, potentially impacting organization behavior in ways that can either improve or worsen quality of care, but there is limited evidence about how hospital consolidation is differentially associated with quality of care for patients by race and ethnicity or payer coverage. This project aims to examine how increases in hospital consolidation influences quality of care disparities for racial/ethnic minority groups (compared to non-Hispanic White adults) and uninsured and low-income, publicly insured patients (vs commercially insured patients).
