Getting a community health assessment and improvement initiative off the ground--lessons learned.

For the past eighteen months, the Michigan Health Care Institute has been administering the Rural Health Project--a W.K. Kellogg Foundation funded project to assist Michigan's rural communities with assessing and improving their health status and health care systems. During that time, MHCI staff have observed community health assessment initiatives all over the country. We have talked to the experts, the veterans, and the consultants; worked closely with the Michigan Department of Public Health to launch a state-wide community health assessment and improvement initiative; and been closely involved with Michigan's rural sites. The following is our best advice to those communities just beginning a health assessment and improvement initiative. It is the first in a two-part series about the process of improving community health.

PSNs: a new model for Medicare risk contracting.

The 1995 Republican House Medicare reform proposal introduced the provider services network (PSN) concept as a new healthcare delivery model for accepting and administering Medicare risk contracts. A PSN operates much like an HMO, but is not subject to the reserve requirements established for HMOs. Providers that want to enter the Medicare risk contracting arena and exercise more control over the delivery of healthcare services may consider forming a PSN. To form a PSN, providers must be sufficiently capitalized to compete with HMOs, create a formal legal organization, and develop a financial plan. To ensure that its goals are met, the PSN must develop a sales promotion plan, enroll members, control and monitor financial resources and clinical outcomes, and implement a management information system. Other crucial capabilities that a PSN must develop include establishing mechanisms for utilization review, membership information maintenance, claims adjudication, physician credentialing, quality assurance, and member grievance procedures.
