title: Tracking capitation: necessary for success.
abstract: Eugene Hoekendorf's column explores the range of new information-gathering needs a PHO, IPA, or medical group must consider under capitation and what kinds of internal systems need to be put in place to manage the contract. This is the second of two parts. The first part, which discussed core competencies, ran in the July issue.
