We study the interplay between dependent types and general computational effects. We define a language with both value types and terms, and computation types and terms, where types depend only on value terms. We use computational Σ-types to account for typedependency in the sequential composition of computations. Our language design is justified by a natural class of categorical models. We acco...

IMPORTANCE Hospitals are rapidly acquiring medical groups and physician practices. This consolidation may foster cooperation and thereby reduce expenditures, but also may lead to higher expenditures through greater use of hospital-based ambulatory services and through greater hospital pricing leverage against health insurers. OBJECTIVE To determine whether total expenditures per patient were ...
