Nationwide Evaluation of Medicaid Competition Demonstrations. Volume 4-4. Tables from Quality of Care Study, Medical Chart Abstraction, Medicaid Consumer Survey

摘要

Medicaid capitation/case management demonstrations in six states (CA, FL, MN, MO, NY, NJ) were implemented in 1982-83 to test alternative strategies for the delivery and financing of health care to Medicaid beneficiaries. The program evaluation examined implementation and operation issues, health care utilization and cost impacts, beneficiary access and satisfaction, quality of care, administrative costs, rate setting, and enrollment choice and biased selection. The final report for the evaluation is contained in eight volumes and supporting appendixes. Appendix 4-4 contains tables from the quality of care component of the evaluation. The sources of data were extensive in-office medical record abstractions in demonstration and comparison counties in both California and Missouri, along with personal survey data collected as part of the Medicaid Consumer Survey in these sites.
