title: Managed care report cards: evaluating those who evaluate physicians.
abstract: Managed care organizations are evaluating doctors, but how well are these organizations being evaluated themselves? This proposal for a report card identifies the necessary features of competent and sophisticated managed care enterprises. It is designed so that purchasers, providers, and patients may appreciate the more substantive issues associated with success in health care management.
