The cost of satisfaction: a national study of patient satisfaction, health care utilization, expenditures, and mortality. (2012, background): “Within 3 chronic illness cohorts of fee-for-service Medicare enrollees, higher regional intensity of care was associated with higher adjusted mortality.(13,14) One potential explanation is that patients in higher-intensity regions receive more discretionary health services, with attendant risk of ad”
