"The failure of HMO's and other managed care plans to compete on the basis of demonstrated, documented quality of care," recently deplored by InterStudy Chairman Paul Ellwood, suggests that employers need to assess HMOs' quality--at least for now--from other perspectives. The Manager of Medical Services at Healthplan Management Services details questions employers should ask HMOs about their finances, delivery system structure and processes, data collection and overall service results before they sign contracts.
InterStudy主席保罗·埃尔伍德最近痛惜地指出：“健康维护组织（HMO）和其他管理式医疗计划未能基于已证明、有记录的医疗质量进行竞争”，这表明雇主需要从其他角度评估HMO的质量——至少目前是这样。健康计划管理服务公司的医疗服务经理详细说明了雇主在签署合同之前应该就财务、服务提供系统结构和流程、数据收集以及整体服务结果等方面向HMO提出的问题。
