Health Care Plans
What role does quality measurement play in assessing the performance of health plans and in assessing the impact of price competition? Would you join a health plan simply because it had the lowest cost, without any information on quality? Why or why not? Referring to what you learned in Chapter 10 (in Unit 3): Should we, as a society, rely on individual choice of high-quality providers? Should our decisions be based on publicly available report cards to improve health-care quality? Should we rely on institutions (e.g., government agencies) to mandate and enforce minimum quality standards? Why or why not? How do access, quality, and cost-effective care come together for the benefit of patients? Physicians and providers? Hospitals? Society?
