Firms will continue to shift costs to workers but are skeptical of new insurance products, including consumer-driven health plans and tiered provider networks. Most health plans are thriving as they continue to price products ahead of cost trends and gain administrative efficiencies. Many hospitals, facing revenue pressures from increasing competition from physician-owned specialty facilities, are continuing aggressive building campaigns, raising concerns about increased costs if they overshoot and add too much capacity. Efforts to revive the ailing Medicare managed care program face an uphill climb as Congress debates reforms as part of prescription drug legislation.</p>","PeriodicalId":80012,"journal":{"name":"Issue brief (Center for Studying Health System Change)","volume":" 67","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22566882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While adequate funding is essential to ensuring safety net providers can care for low-income people, the Center for Studying Health System Change (HSC) has identified a number of other factors key to building and maintaining viable community safety nets. Throughout the four rounds of HSC's Community Tracking Study (CTS) site visits, researchers have found that strong political and organizational leadership, community support, collaboration and business acumen have helped safety net providers build capacity and improve care coordination for low-income and uninsured people. These characteristics and business strategies have strengthened many community safety nets, better preparing them to weather current economic problems and providing a road map for the potentially tougher times ahead.</p>","PeriodicalId":80012,"journal":{"name":"Issue brief (Center for Studying Health System Change)","volume":" 66","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22547941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
