Issue Brief (Grantmakers Health). 1999 Jun(2):1-25.
This report is the second in a series of programs made possible by a grant to Grantmakers In Health (GIH) from The Commonwealth Fund to bring grantmakers together with experts in policy, practice, and research to exchange information and ideas about key health issues facing the nation. On June 17, 1999, GIH convened a small group of grantmakers along with officials from the Health Care Financing Administration and other experts in consumer education, managed care, and health services research for an Issue Dialogue on managed care and the elderly. Intended to both share lessons learned and stimulate new ideas, the Issue Dialogue proved to be a lively and insightful forum on what health funders can do to support development of consumer information, tools, and program models for this vulnerable population. This Issue Brief brings together key points from the day's discussion with factual information on managed care within the Medicare program and grantmaker activities drawn from a background paper prepared for Dialogue participants.
本报告是由联邦基金向健康资助者组织（GIH）提供赠款资助的一系列项目中的第二篇。该赠款旨在将资助者与政策、实践和研究领域的专家汇聚一堂，就国家面临的关键健康问题交流信息和想法。1999年6月17日，GIH召集了一小群资助者，以及医疗保健财务管理局的官员和消费者教育、管理式医疗及健康服务研究等领域的其他专家，就管理式医疗与老年人问题进行了一次议题对话。此次议题对话旨在分享经验教训并激发新想法，事实证明，它是一个生动且富有洞察力的论坛，讨论了健康资助者可为支持为这一弱势群体开发消费者信息、工具和项目模式做些什么。本议题简报汇集了当天讨论的要点，以及医疗保险计划中管理式医疗的事实信息和从为对话参与者准备的背景文件中提取的资助者活动情况。
