| Abstract: | : Evaluations of the impact of hospital accreditation have been previously hampered by the lack of nationally standardized data. One way to assess this impact is to compare accreditation status with other evidence-based measures of quality, such as process measures. The goal of this paper is to test for the presence of supplier-induced demand among patients who received care in private, hospitals accredited to provide care to insured patients and to examine the hospital performance using the number of days of patients’ admissions, discharges, and deaths within a four-year (4) period: (2018-2021). Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional study design utilizing retrospective secondary Performance data for the period under review 2018-2021. Data from seven (7) surgical wards of a tertiary teaching hospital in Ghana were collated. A redcap tool was used to collect the data from entries made which were edited, coded, transcribed, cleaned, and analyzed using Microsoft Excel tool 2019 and SPSS version.26.0 and the results were presented in descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, tables, and figures. Comparative changes in performances of all other years were compared to the year 2020. Results: The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in performances [p value = 0.00 < 0.05, alpha value (0.05)] in inpatient days, admission, discharges, and mortality rates in all the 4year periods. Analysis showed that there were significant differences comparing 2020 patient days to 2018, 2019, and 2021. Conclusions: There was a decrease in performance for the year 2020 as compared to the rest. Nearly all the mean differences for the variables of the various years against the year 2020 were significantly different (p=0.00) except for the number of admissions and discharges in 2020 against 2018 and the number of deaths realized in 2020 against 2018 and 2019. |
