Following the continuing expansion of managed care is a growing public interest in the quality of care provided by managed care organizations. Public and private organizations are actively developing systems for measuring and monitoring quality of care with the intention of holding plans more accountable for quality improvements and encouraging health care consumers to make responsible choices. This article examines correlations between a prevention-based quality measure and other commonly used measures of differentiating health plans, including financial performance and profit status. The findings are instructive in efforts to develop a quality measurement system that incorporates a variety of measures of plan performance.
For the 1995-1996 fiscal year, all 125 accredited US medical schools responded to the annual medical school questionnaire of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, part I-A. Using data from the financial portion of the questionnaire, we identify patterns of financing medical education during the past 3 years and the practice plan arrangements adopted by medical schools, including their organizational and legal structures. This financial review details differences in how public and private medical schools are being funded and funding changes during the past 3 years. The reported data show that revenues supporting medical school programs and activities totaled more than $31 billion in 1995-1996, an increase of 5.4% in inflation-adjusted dollars during the previous year. Compared with the previous year, revenues, in current and constant dollars, increased in almost every category in 1995-1996.
