摘要:

This study investigated those factors that influenced employers' experiences with health maintenance organizations (HMOs). It examined a national cross-sectional sample of chief executive officers (CEOs) and benefits managers. Findings revealed that different administrative issues such as the volume of paperwork, confusion about benefits, and educating employees about HMO benefits were of primary importance in affecting management's experiences with HMOs. Differences were found between CEOs' and benefits managers' responses.

摘要:

During the 1980s, private economists and government policy-makers promoted market competition as a means of controlling costs and improving quality in the health services industry. However, inflationadjusted costs rose faster during the 1980s than during the 1970s, and most of the expected benefits were not realized. Competitive reform failed because government and private payors were unwilling or unable to force providers to compete primarily on price and quality. Despite its failure to control costs, competitive reform has created a “mythology” that continues to influence health policy to the detriment of effective reform.
