Improving Health Care Quality
Purchaser Strategies
Public and private health care purchasers are increasingly concerned
with the quality of care delivered to Americans. Their past strategies
to improve quality tended to focus on health plans, but purchasers
increasingly recognize that providers themselves must be organized
for systematic quality improvement. IHP’s work in this area
examines the implications of strategies such as disease management,
tiered networks, and pay-for-performance that purchasers use to
encourage changes in providers’ behavior and organization
of care.
