And Performance

This article describes collaborative health services research and performance evaluation activities at United HealthCare Corporation, a national health care management services company. We outline the development of a research capacity within our company, the principal data sources used, and the types of research conducted. The importance of health services research within a managed care system is illustrated using two projects as examples. finally, we discuss issues faced by organizations such as ours in defining appropriate research priorities, ensuring health plan participation, and disseminating research findings. Lessons learned should be of interest to health services researchers working in or collaborating with managed care organizations as well as others seeking to understand the dynamics of research in private-sector health care companies.

The long-awaited Wills Implementation Committee Report (CoA 2000), which was completed by Novemberlast year, has now been released. Wills' earlier Report (CoA 1998) identified the need for the development ofhealth services research capacity in Australia, and this new Report recommends how this should be done,through the establishment and support of several large multi-disciplinary centres. These should be based aroundhealth services, health policy, health economics, public health and clinical practice and these are required to givescientific leadership to Australia's efforts in priority-driven research. They are to be funded through NHMRC,with funds rising to $10m per annum.
