The division between those who provide health care services and those who pay for them may be widening. Costs continue to rise, quality remains ill-defined, and there don't seem to be any easy answers to the dilemma. Joseph W. Duva, Director of the New York Region Health/Welfare Benefits Consulting Practice of Ernst and Young, believes the answer has been found. While Director of Employee Benefits at Allied Signal Corp., he was instrumental in the formulation of a total managed health care plan for employees. He recently founded the Managed Health Care Association to share the experience at Allied Signal with others and to provide a business forum for exploration of the managed care concept. Duva's views on managed care as a cost containment strategy were the subject of an interview conducted by Physician Executive at the National Conference of Physician Executives in San Antonio in May.
提供医疗保健服务的人员与支付医疗费用的人员之间的分歧可能正在扩大。成本持续上升,质量仍不明确,而且对于这一困境似乎没有任何简单的解决办法。安永会计师事务所纽约地区健康/福利福利咨询业务总监约瑟夫·W·杜瓦认为已经找到答案。在联合信号公司担任员工福利总监期间,他在为员工制定全面管理式医疗保健计划方面发挥了重要作用。他最近成立了管理式医疗保健协会,与他人分享联合信号公司的经验,并为探索管理式医疗保健概念提供一个商业论坛。杜瓦关于管理式医疗保健作为一种成本控制策略的观点是《医师执行官》在5月于圣安东尼奥举行的全国医师执行官会议上进行的一次采访的主题。
