  • To explore the potential of a "teaching HMO" to revitalize academic medicine.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed description of the Harvard Medical School and Harvard Community Health Plan collaboration.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of the rationale and benefits of establishing an academic department within an HMO.
  • Examination of the replication of the teaching hospital academic structure in a managed care setting.

    • Main Results:

    • The Harvard collaboration established the first medical school department within a freestanding HMO.
    • This model replicates the successful academic structure of teaching hospitals within a managed care organization.
    • The alliance created a joint entity benefiting both the medical school and the HMO.

    Conclusions:

    • Alliances between medical schools and HMOs can foster teaching and research in neglected areas like prevention and primary care.
    • The "teaching HMO" model offers a viable strategy for academic medical centers to adapt to managed care.
    • This innovative approach holds the potential to significantly transform academic medicine in the 21st century.
