J Med Syst.
1999 Aug.
Abstract
In general, health plan report cards can provide valuable information to consumers, physicians, and health care purchasers regarding plan performance and quality to assist in the selection of a health plan. However, significant limitations of health plan report cards currently exist. It is only with further evolvement and refinement that health plan report cards can live up to their potential and become a distinctive and useful tool in evaluating and selecting among various health plans.
