Risk management in an IPA setting--Part I.

J Harding

    Physician Executive
    |April 8, 1994
    PubMed
    Summary

    Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are growing, especially IPA and network models. These models face challenges in managing healthcare quality and costs due to less control compared to staff models.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) have expanded to control healthcare costs, driven by demand from employers and government agencies.
    • Independent Practice Association (IPA) and network models show the most enrollment growth.
    • These models offer greater physician and patient choice compared to closed-panel models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the differences between staff-model and IPA-model HMOs regarding liability and risk management.
    • To describe the nature of risks inherent in different HMO structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of healthcare management models.
    • Review of quality improvement and risk management integration in HMOs.

    Main Results:

    • IPA and network models offer more choice but less control over healthcare delivery.
    • The link between quality assurance and risk management is less direct in IPA/network models compared to staff models.
    • IPA-model quality improvement programs may not fully address risk management implications.

    Conclusions:

    • IPA-model HMOs face unique challenges in managing healthcare quality and cost due to their structure.
    • Effective risk management strategies need to be adapted for IPA-model HMOs.
    • Understanding these differences is crucial for managing liability and healthcare quality.
