Abstract:
The broad objective was to develop an information system which integrates various sources of clinical data and facilities outcome assessment for patients evaluated in a lumbar spine service. During a patient encounter, the physician formulates a hypothesis regarding appropriate forms of treatment and he or she may then use this system to explore previous treatment outcomes for similar cases. The availability of a clinical tool that presents information in an outcome-oriented format may be highly relevant to the delivery of cost-efficient, high-quality health care and also create a formal mechanism for detecting practice variability.

Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
