Harkness Project Title: Exploring Costs and Mortality for Treatment After Acute Myocardial Infarction Among Hospitals in the United States’ Veteran Health Administration and Germany
Mentor: Alan Garber, M.D., Ph.D.
Placement: Center for Health Policy, Stanford University
Biography at time of Harkness Fellowship: Jonas Scheyoegg, a 2006–07 Commonwealth Fund Harkness Fellow in Health Care Policy has been at the Berlin University of Technology since 2001, where he is currently senior lecturer in health care management and economics in the Department of Health Care Management. Since 2004, he is also a research fellow at the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies where he focuses on comparative analysis of European health care systems especially financing issues. He is currently part of a large EU-funded project HealthBASKET which compares the benefit baskets and costs of individual health services in Europe. He is a 2002–2003 scholar of the German National Academic Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) and received several research awards. Schreyoegg has worked on projects with several international organizations and was a visiting fellow in Taiwan and Singapore. He has published widely in the areas of health financing, health care management, pharmaceutical regulation and economic evaluation. His current research interests focus on cost benchmarking, economic evaluation of health services and health care financing. Schreyoegg received a doctorate in economics from the Berlin University of Technology.
Project: Schreyögg’s project aimed to explain variation in mortality and hospital costs for treatment after acute myocardial infarction between hospitals of the Veteran Health Administration (V.A.) and Germany. He drew on patient-level data from 130 V.A. and 18 German hospitals, and used a multilevel regression to draw insights regarding their relative efficiency and quality, adjusting for the different patient profiles in each system.
