To control the rising costs, some hospitals and states operate under the “capped system” – it puts a strict budgetary limitation on how much a hospital can spend. Kaiser Permanente and Veterans Administration already operate under such directive, and it often raises questions about quality and accessibility. Starting in 2010 with eight rural hospitals, and expanding its plan in 2014 to the state’s other hospitals, Maryland set global budgets for hospital inpatient and outpatient services, as well as emergency department care in the attempt to control global costs of…
