Changing environment and the academic medical center: the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Academic medical centers need strong patient bases and strong financial bases to educate and to support research. After careful delineation of its mission with regard to patient care, research, and education, the Johns Hopkins Hospital expanded its health care delivery capabilities and strengthened its position in the health care marketplace by acquisitions of and mergers with other hospitals and a health maintenance organization in the Baltimore area. The resulting conglomerate, operating under the direction of a holding company, the Johns Hopkins Health System, has achieved its goals of expanding patient care capabilities, broadening the patient base, and enlarging the asset base and cash flow. Half the medical residents at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine receive training at nontraditional sites, and further expansion of teaching activities is being explored. Potential roles of traditional and nontraditional teachers in these activities are discussed.

The Johns Hopkins experience in Columbia, Maryland.

A university-related prepaid group practice was established in Columbia, Maryland, in 1969, by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions with the cooperation of the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. Objectives were based on the traditional triad of service, teaching and research. The effort continues. There has been visible success in the achievement of each of the objectives. It is evident, however, that the development of the Columbia Medical Plan would have been facilitated if there had been a larger population base in which to market membership in the Plan, if marketing had been under the direction of the health-care provider, and if the burden of the building and running of a hospital had not been assumed. Overall, the experience suggests that the Health Maintenance Organization movement has only modest ultimate potential as an option in health-care delivery in the current economic milieu of American medicine.
