Beyond Compare 4 Price
Lupita Calvi
in windows I am able to use winmerge as the external diff tool for hg using mercurial.ini,etc.
Using some options switch that you can find in web(I think it's a japanese website)Anyway, herefor example:
I also found that it is important to NOT include Beyond Compare in extdiff section so it will use beyondcompare3 from the merge-tools section with diffargs arguments. (I have beyondcompare3 specified in both ui.merge and tortoisehg.vdiff)
If you are having trouble getting your configuration to parse correctly please note that any space for any variable or section name will cause the configuration to parse incorrectly. I kept copying and pasting different configures and continued to get errors. It just ended up that spaces were added before many of the variables and it caused it not to parse.
If you are using TortoiseHg, you can set the merge tool to Beyond Compare by choosing File -> Settings, and then on the TortoiseHg choice, select Visual Diff Tool and Three-way Merge Tool. This setting affects merges which are set through the command line as well.
This issue brief examines negotiated prices released by Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas (BCBSTX) and Aetna to compare the price of inpatient and outpatient services at Houston area hospitals. In addition, we compare these prices to hospital quality metrics reported in other government sources.
All three measures are rated from one to five, with five representing the highest possible quality. We compared prices and quality only for those hospitals in Harris County for which we could find both data series.
There are also several other hospitals that are independent or belong to smaller health care systems. In addition to reporting negotiated PPO prices for each hospital, we conducted additional comparisons of price and quality across the four largest systems. Several hospitals that did not belong to one of these four health care systems did not have quality measures available, and therefore were excluded from the comparisons of price and quality.
Although the TiC regulations require health plans to list the prices of all covered services, there are substantial gaps in price reporting, which inhibited our ability to readily compare the price of health care across hospitals and between two major insurers. From the BCBSTX files, we were able to identify 25 diagnoses (Figure 1) with a reported price for a stay in hospital for 29 hospitals in Harris County.
In contrast, we were only able to find prices for six diagnoses for a stay in hospital among 15 Harris County hospitals in the Aetna files. More prices were available for hospital outpatient procedures for both insurers. We found 32 procedures with reported prices for 27 hospitals in Harris County in the BCBSTX files, and 18 procedures with reported prices for 21 hospitals in the Aetna files.
Initial price files released by BCBSTX and Aetna reveal wide variation in prices across hospitals in Harris County. There are notable differences across the four major health care systems in the Houston area. For example, the average BCBSTX negotiated prices for a hospital stay by system range from a low of $15,858 (HCA) to $19,354 (Memorial Hermann). Prices for independent hospitals that are not affiliated with any of the major health care systems tended to be lower, because smaller organizations lack the market power to negotiate higher prices with insurers.
Noticeable price differences also exist across hospitals within each system. Houston Methodist in the TMC has average negotiated prices for a hospital stay of $20,071, but Houston Methodist could only negotiate an average price of $18,131 with BCBSTX for these same diagnoses when treated at its Clear Lake facility.
We do not recommend that employers take action to alter their health insurance benefit structure based on these data yet, because this initial round of insurer data is still relatively incomplete. However, Mathematica is regularly processing new files as they are released, and each round is likely to contain prices for more providers, diagnoses, and treatments.
Rising health care costs are the primary barrier to affordable health insurance for uninsured and underinsured Americans. The Baker Institute will continue to collaborate with Mathematica to share pricing data from Houston area hospitals. Closely tracking hospital pricing data will help us determine whether employers are doing their part to find high quality care for their workers at the lowest possible cost.
Historically, price has been one of the fundamental sales drivers for grocers, and that still holds true today. In our January 2021 customer research across ten EU countries, value for money was one of the two most important factors influencing where consumers decided to shop.
Consumers are shopping more frequently across different grocers and stores. This trend has led to fragmented baskets and more variety in products and brands. Indeed, our survey reveals that only 13 percent of European customers shop at a single grocer; 36 percent use two stores, and 30 percent shop at three different grocers. This remains true across Europe, although there are some regional differences. Dutch, French, and Swedish customers, for example, seem to be more loyal, with the majority shopping at no more than two stores. On the other end, 23 percent of Germans, Poles, and Russians shop at four or more grocers. Typical customers know the market well, enabling them not only to compare prices of individual items across grocers but also to pick and choose where to buy them.
The rise of discounters has intensified price competition. Retailers used to match discounters on price and quality across a limited assortment (800 to 1,000 SKUs). But in recent years, discounters have expanded the competitive set to 2,000 to 2,500 SKUs, so full-line grocers now often have to match pricing on more than 50 percent of sales.
In addition, the discounters over time have improved quality significantly and now compete with midtier products of typical supermarkets, putting pressure on the supermarket in terms of both price and quality.
The rise of online grocery shopping has increased price transparency and generates complexities around omnichannel pricing. Although not all grocers have the same prices online as they do offline, online pricing provides customers an additional data point and makes it much easier to check and compare prices.
When applying this investment approach, grocers should simulate the financialimpact, including competitor reaction. Historically, price elasticities have been used to estimate customer reaction (volume) to price changes and provide recommendations for how to optimize margin and ensure constant revenue. But in recent years, mature grocery players have realized that elasticities are often overrated and that they need to include competitor reaction. This enables retailers to conduct war-gaming scenarios to fully understand the impact of potential price changes.
Improve in-store experience. Grocers can increase the perception of high quality and competitive pricing by optimizing the placement of high-quality products and items that have strong value for money.
When comparing prices with those of competitors, grocers must therefore understand which products are of a similar perceived quality, not necessarily a similar specification. Some grocers have established units with the sole task of creating product-price matches that are based on consumer research and identify quality gaps that need to be addressed.
While shelf prices are the foundation for value-for-money perception, other levers are needed to achieve the full potential of that perception. For instance, the quality and breadth of the opening-price-point assortment are nearly as important as pricing.
In the past, many supermarkets competed on opening price points with 400 to 800 private-label products that were often low quality and had unattractive packaging. As discounters have increased their assortment sizes and have improved quality, this type of opening-price-point private label is not competitive enough anymore. Its (perceived) quality is, for many SKUs, typically below that of the hard discounters, and the offering simply does not cover a wide enough assortment.
Taking a more sophisticated approach to pricing is all the more crucial today because of the rise of online shopping, which has increased price transparency, fragmented consumer baskets, and grown competition from discounters.
