MHA 710 Exam 2
According to Grossman (1972), how is the demand for medical care determined?
It is derived from the demand for health
Suppose your assignment is to use the standard time trade-off approach to measure
quality of life. You are given the following information: An individual is faced with living
the remaining 10 years of their life suffering from severe osteoporosis. The individual
reveals that they would be willing to give up four of those years to live the remaining six
in perfect health. What is the utility of one year in a chronic health state relative to
perfect health?
0.6
The standard cut-off for cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) used by most
governmental decision makers is set in terms of a multiple of national per capita
income. The value of the threshold is usually what percent of national per capita
income?
100
Researchers use cost-of-illness studies for all of the following except to:
compare the relative efficiency of treating various conditions
The intangible costs associated with reduced quality of life include
pain and suffering.
Which of the following measures of effectiveness is an intermediate measure?
Hip fracture
Factors affecting the level of medical care demand include all of the following except:
price of medical care
A physician's ability to induce demand is greatly enhanced when:
patients have difficulty gathering and processing information
, When measuring the effectiveness of a treatment, surrogate measures reflect clinical
efficacy and include:
bone-mass density (BMD)
When area income increases by 20 percent, what occurs?
quantity demanded rises by 10.0 percent.
The primary tasks required to conduct a successful cost effectiveness study are all of the
following except:
identifying the overall cost of a health condition on society.
The accompanying diagram depicts the relationship between health status and medical
care spending for a particular country. Assume the current spending level is S1 on TP1.
All of the statements below are true?
S1 levels of spending are often described as spending on the flat of the curve.
Suppose you must rely exclusively on cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to determine
whether a category of people receives an expensive, potentially life-saving, intervention.
Which of the following considerations must you keep in mind when making your
decision?
CEA ignores the possibility that certain unidentified individuals in a group may
have a greater than normal positive response to the treatment.
