Nearly everyone agrees that the nation's health care system needs
to be reformed. By mid-1994 over a half-dozen major reform plans
were under consideration in Congress. But beyond the political
challenge of passing a reform package lies an even bigger
challenge--how to make health reform work! Critics of the Clinton
plan have charged that it's too complex and doomed to
administrative failure. Are they right? The nation's health care
finance and delivery systems are already immensely complex and
problem-ridden. Is it possible to achieve meaningful reforms
without adopting new administrative strategies and structures that
are equally complex? What role do the states now play in
administering the nation's health care system? Is it possible to
design administrative success into national health reform plans
from the start? Produced in close consultation with state health
care officials from all around the country, this important volume
offers practical and timely recommendations for how to make health
reform work. It addresses the central implementation, management,
and federalism dimensions of reform. Chapters by some of the
country's leading health policy and public management experts
explore the administrative challenges of reform as they relate to
health alliances, cost containment, quality of care, medical
education and training, and other key issues. They discuss various
working principles for developing an administratively sound health
reform policy. The contributors are Lawrence D. Brown and Michael
Sparer, Columbia University; Gerald Garvey, Princeton University;
Donald F. Kettl, University of Wisconsin-Madison; James R. Tallon,
United Hospital Fund; James W. Fossett and Frank J.Thompson, State
University of New York, Albany.
