With pressure building to reduce healthcare costs, relations between providers and insurers in the years ahead increasingly will focus on risk sharing and utilization controls. Fixed price agreements and managed care plans are two approaches expected to come into wider use. To cope with coming utilization reviews and efforts to manage outpatient care, hospitals will need information systems allowing them to evaluate patient mixes and service intensities.
随着降低医疗成本的压力不断增大,未来几年医疗服务提供者与保险公司之间的关系将越来越多地聚焦于风险分担和使用控制。固定价格协议和管理式医疗计划是有望得到更广泛应用的两种方式。为应对即将到来的使用情况审查以及管理门诊护理的努力,医院将需要信息系统,以便能够评估患者组合和服务强度。
