Kaufman Strategic Advisors Managing Director Nate Kaufman responded to the RAND Corporation鈥檚 flawed and incomplete hospital pricing survey in a new analysis published today.

According to Kaufman, the RAND report 鈥渃ommoditized quality and care delivery; ignored the importance of physicians in the care delivery process; and assumed that a reduction in services, physicians, and facilities would not be the most likely response to their irrational pricing demands.鈥

The AHA issued its own statement and blog post on the report.
