Hawaii healthQUEST: a managed care demonstration project
Hawaii has been dubbed a leader in health care. In August 1994, Hawaii began a five-year demonstration project with federal backing--QUEST. The trial managed-care project was designed to provide quality care to public clients in a cost-effective manner. This study surveyed doctors in Hawaii to assess QUEST at the six-month mark. The survey showed that QUEST's early performance is short of meeting its goals. Further evaluation and accounting will be needed to determine if QUEST can represent the future of managed care.
