2. Consider the market for fire extinguishers.

a. Why might fire extinguishers exhibit positive externalities?

b. Draw a graph of the market for fire extinguishers, labeling the demand curve, the social-value curve, the supply curve, and the social-cost curve.

c. Indicate the market equilibrium level of output and the efficient level of output. Give an intuitive explanation for why these quantities differ.

d. If the external benefit is $10 per extinguisher, describe a government policy that would yield the efficient outcome.

Fire extinguishers help in the prevention of fire accidents at the owners' premises and stop the spread of fire. This gives benefit to the purchaser and society showing a positive externality.

The market equilibrium level of output is formed at the intersection of demand curve and private cost curve which is denoted by Qmarket and the efficient level of output is denoted Qoptimum which is formed at the intersection of the social value curve and supply curve. The quantities differ because in deciding to buy fire extinguishers, people generally ignore the benefits they provide to other people.

To internalize the externality a government should provide a subsidy equivalent to the additional benefit or externality gave by the product. So for the external benefit of $10 received by society, the government should give a $10 subsidy to the buyers of fire extinguishers. This shifts the demand curve towards its right giving Qoptimum.

Below is a diagram illustrating the positive externality of fire extinguishers. The private value by the individual is given by the demand curve. And the social value curve is above the private value curve. The social cost curve is the same as the supply curve.

>> [Background Music] Good communication will enable lower costs, better patient care, and better patient outcomes. And technology can facilitate that. Hi. I'm Mark Allen. I'm the Clinical Information Systems Manager for the Utah South region and the rural region for Intermountain Healthcare. Intermountain is known internationally for its ability to be able to use clinical data to improve patient outcomes. So, we have 22 hospitals across the state of Utah, one in Idaho, and we have over 300 clinics across the enterprise.

>> Communication is very important. And one of the key things to keeping everybody on the same page is to develop a good communication plan and to repeat a consistent message often and frequently. Hi, I'm Fritz Crone [phonetic]. I'm the Regional Director for Quality at Intermountain Healthcare in the urban south region here. And one of the most exciting things I get to do every day is to work with our teams and accelerate bringing best practices to our patients. Every region supplies a local representative. We are very fortunate in our ability to engage physicians and nurse leaders who are willing to spend their time participating in the committee meetings and networking with their peers throughout the system. And we always recognize that it is a challenge to get the word out. And we do that through meetings. We do that through talking points. We'll put flyers on bulletin boards. There's also some more formal documents called care process guidelines. And those are heavily researched documents that are available on the website. So, we use a combination of methods to communicate what are goals are for that year. Part of our clinical program goals almost always involves patient education because in addition to the providers, the physicians, and the nurses and the laboratory support, as patients, we are also very accountable for our health outcomes. We have standardized education. And we, that allows us to deliver a consistent message. So, when you're discharged from one facility, we have a standardized brochure and teaching information that's given. And then, again, that information is available throughout the system.

>> Telehealth services is really a key that we've identified and invested in in Intermountain healthcare. We have currently 26 projects across the enterprise where we're trying to find technical solutions to be able to provide better care to the patients. We have Tele-critical care. We have Tele-psych. We have a variety of other telehealth initiatives that we're trying to initiate to provide care at the rural facilities that can't afford, you know, a neonatologist or a hospitalist. In addition, the information that we have within our system is also provided to our home health division. So, as our home health nurses are visiting patients at home, they're going to have the full history and physical of the patient and the care that they received in the hospital to be able to provide better patient care to the patients that they visit.
