Say for example in the ancillary services area, you are evaluating contracts between vendors/suppliers. If a vendor provides, in addition to its pricing information, additional value added services that are inclusive of fees and part of the contract offering, how do you quantify the value/dollars of these offerings in your comparisons/evaluations? How does your organization weight quality against price?

It is interesting to learn the relatively early evolution of the hospital and managed care model. Though today the hospital train is driven by the physician, we may look forward to an informed patient customer who drives the train and requires quality of care information to make choices with their money. This would be a powerful fourth addition to the Triad - Customer Driven!

Does anyone have experience with an automated, customizable CSS system to enforce physician rules for prescribing? It seems that getting rules to the physician at the point of prescribing would increase adherence with the facilities rules. However, I am not familiar with any useful commercial products.

In the powerpoint presentation, Kaiser Permanente was referred to as a staff model HMO. Unless they have changed their organization, the physicians are employees of the Permanente Medical Group and not employees of Kaiser. They are an example of a group model HMO.
