  • Title: Making the grade: update on report card initiatives for 1997.
    Author: Bartlett J, Kaufmann C, Manderscheid R, Hall LL, Kramer TL, Daniels AS, O'Kane ME.
    Journal: Behav Healthc Tomorrow; 1997 Apr; 6(2):55-62. PubMed ID: 10166631.
    Abstract:
    Report cards for healthcare services are increasingly in the news, offering the hope that objective information on the quality of health plan and providers services will eventually enable purchasers and consumers to make selections based on true value. Following is a series of five brief articles that review ongoing report card initiatives in private and public sectors of the behavioral healthcare system. The first four articles review actual report cards designed to hold organizations--particularly managed care--accountable for the quality of their services. The last article reviews research on performance measurement across all segments of the behavioral healthcare industry.
