Abstract: Examines differential responses to the Medicare hospice benefit across ownership types.

Concludes that Medicare regulations and the predominance of Medicare revenues in an industry induce similar outcomes in cost and quality across ownership types.

12. "AIDS : a special report". Nonprofit Executive vol. 9 (May 1990) p. 7-8.
Abstract: Brief update on efforts to provide AIDS prevention education and long-term care. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) have introduced a bill which calls for the distribution of $600 million to cities with more than 2,000 AIDS patients. Most of this amount would go to New York ($46 million), San Francisco ($19.9 million), and Los Angeles ($13.5 million). The remaining money would go to state governments. The American Hospital Association reports that more than 800 hospitals now provide hospice programs to care for the terminally ill. While the vast majority of hospice patients in 1985 were elderly, fifty percent of the programs served AIDS patient in 1988. The article lists ten publications and eight organizations which can be of help in developing education programs and networking opportunities.

13. "Fundraising appeals". Grassroots Fundraising Journal vol. 9 (August 1990) p. 13-4.
Abstract: Presents the successful fundraising efforts of the Zen Center of San Francisco on behalf of its hospice volunteer training program. Eight hundred people made donations to the Zen program as a result of the initial fundraising letter sent to 10,000 people in autumn 1988. Of these 10,000 people, 4,000 were prior contributors to the Zen Center and the remainder had participated in Zen Center activities. A second fundraising letter sent to the same 10,000 people last autumn garnered a response by 950 people, an increase of 150 over the first mailing. Approximately eighty percent of these were prior donors. The success of this fundraising effort motivated the Zen Center to stage a special fundraising event at Greens, the Zen Center's restaurant in San Francisco. People who previously had contributed $50 or more were invited to the $100-a-plate dinner. At the sold out dinner, a few people expressed their desire to become more involved in the Center's hospice training program, an unexpected and welcome dividend. Donors to the Zen hospice program will receive an annual progress report from its director. No further solicitations to the non-contributors will be made for the time being.
