The feasibility of establishing a health maintenance
organization (HMO) on the Monterey Peninsula is examined. A
brief history of the HMO is presented along with principles
believed necessary for the HMO's success. Organizational
structures of HMOs are reviewed and some of the advantages
and disadvantages over conventional methods are discussed.
The advantages heavily outweigh the disadvantages. Some of
the major legislation, both Federal and State, impacting on
HMOs are summarized. The existing health care delivery system
on the Peninsula is thoroughly examined to discover what
problems exist that might be corrected by the establishment
of an HMO. Also the effect of the possible shift of military
dependent care to the civilian community is considered. Three
possible HMO models are presented for consideration along with
suggestions for easing some of the resistance that may evolve.
