Choosing a model: advice from the pros
Article Abstract:
Selecting a health-care integrated delivery system network is dependent on how much integration is desired and how soon does it need to be implemented. The more integration desired the longer the time frame to complete it. State and federal laws, the supply of physicians, the type of financing, whether physicians are to be co-owners of the system and how physicians feel about becoming employees are other factors that are necessary to evaluate before choosing a delivery system.

Cutting off care
Article Abstract:
Backers of California's Proposition 187, intended to cut back on the educational and healthcare services provided to illegal immigrants, thought that, following the measure's Nov 1994 passage, other states would adopt similar measures. But widespread support for Prop 187-like measures has not developed in states such as Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The climate for passage of such a bill is relatively favorable in Florida.

There's no place like home: when the school system in Colby, Kans., signed on to a health plan that excluded the only hospital in the entire county, it was a fiasco
Article Abstract:
Thomas County, KS, is a textbook example of the threat that large, urban healthcare networks pose to local healthcare. Like many rural areas, Thomas suffers from a high Medicare load and a physician shortage. To bolster its healthcare system, the county is forming the integrated Prairie Health Network. The stimulus for the network was a new medical plan for the Colby school system that excluded the county's only hospital.
