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.

AbstractCollaboration within the European Community (EC) over health problems and their possible solutions has progressed significantly during the past decade. The pursuit of appropriate choices among a variety of issues has resulted in a growing demand for comparable health data. EC efforts to coordinate the health services research of the member states in the fourth Medical and Health Research Program (1987–1991) are discussed. Its contribution to the development of information relevant to the EC's health needs as well as financing, policies, and practices is outlined.
