Boston University Medical Center Hospital Popular Item
Describes a “bundled pricing” approach to managed care contracting. Bundled pricing is a contracting strategy whereby a hospital and its physicians share the risk of a fixed price contract. The case raises many questions regarding managed care pricing strategies and hospital-physician relationships. Students must analyze the financial implications of the hospital's contracting strategy and propose an implementation approach that provides appropriate incentives for the physicians while minimizing the hospital's risk.

United Medical Center Popular Item
Set in the context of a hospital that is attempting to develop a management control system in response to the constraints imposed upon it by Medicare's diagnosis-related group (DRG) form of reimbursement. The control system contains a set of reports that meets many of the criteria for good reports: they are hierarchical, they distinguish between controllable and non-controllable costs, and they focus on personal responsibility. There nevertheless are some important unanswered questions about the way the control system works, and some improvements that could be made to the reports. In addition, physicians are resisting the system.
