The Corporatization of Health Care:
An Evaluation
And An Alternative

The corporatization of health care organizations has become a significant international trend. This paper examines that trend, comparing the development of corporate health care in the USA with the impact of the New Zealand health reforms.[1]
The paper traces the evolution of the organizations of health care systems and explains the emergence of the corporate form.[1]
We argue that the corporate model of work organization is unsuited to the complex and ambiguous nature of the medical task as it ignores inherent interdependencies.[1]
An alternative is needed which addresses work practices rather than just participation in decision making and is based on a concept of mutual interdependence and support in the execution of work.[1][

Canada's system of health services has been shaped by the forces and values in the Canadian political, cultural, social, and economic environment; these forces continue to place constraints on future changes. [2]
We distinguish between "corporatization" and "privatization", and the implications of each for improved efficiency of the system.[2][
Although the organization of health services is, in certain provinces, undergoing significant structural changes, there is evidence that rather than privatizing, the system may actually be continuing to experience what we have termed deprivatization, as the scope of government involvement expands to include a more comprehensive definition of health care.[2]
Trends in Canada differ considerably from those in the United States; universal health insurance has curbed the ability and desire of institutions to exclude members of some socioeconomic groups from receiving care.[2]
U.S.-based models, if applied to Canada, could lead to both higher costs and lower quality of care.[2][
Considerable efficiencies can be realized within Canada's current system.[2]

Corporatization of Pain Medicine:
Implications
For Widening Pain Care Disparities

The current health care system in the United States is structured in a way that ensures that more opportunity and resources flow to the wealthy and socially advantaged. [3]
The values intrinsic to the current profit-oriented culture are directly antithetical to the idea of equitable access.[3]
A large body of literature points to disparities in pain treatment and pain outcomes among vulnerable groups.[3]
These disparities range from the presence of disproportionately higher numbers and magnitude of risk factors for developing disabling pain, lack of access to primary care providers, analgesics and interventions, lack of referral to pain specialists, longer wait times to receive care, receipt of poor quality of pain care, and lack of geographical access to pharmacies that carry opioids.[3]
This article examines the manner in which the profit-oriented culture in medicine has directly and indirectly structured access to pain care, thereby widening pain treatment disparities among vulnerable groups.[3]

The effect of corporatization on pain medicine must be conceptualized in terms of overt access to facilities, providers, pharmaceuticals, specialty services, and interventions, but also in terms of the indirect or covert effect of corporate culture in shaping clinical interactions and outcomes.[3]
