  2. Management in Roemer Model • Planning • Administration • Legislation • Regulation • We will discuss each of these issues within the PUBLIC sector

  3. Planning • In US NO central planning authority • Projects, programs, organizations: PLANS • Historical Planning Initiatives • Comprehensive Health Planning Act 1966 • National Health Planning and Resource Development Act 1974

  4. Comprehensive Health Planning Act • Designed to involve community and consumers in health service planning • Part of Great Society era • Federal dictate of State-wide programs CHP-A, CHP-b • Failure • No assurance of resources to meet needs • Consumers & Providers: unequal knowledge unwillingness to compromise • Failed to control expansion of the system

  5. Health Planning & Resources Development Act 1974 • Grew out of concern for skyrocketing costs • Established three levels of state orgs: • Statewide Health Coordinating Council • State Health Planning and Development Agency • Health Systems Agencies • Certificates of Need (CON): largest long-term contribution! • All projects/changes costing >150K • No CON = No Medicare funding

  6. Failure of Health Planning Act • Repealed in 1986 • CON: Providers resented the Review process • Frustration led to litigation • No new national health planning program

  7. Administration • “Decision making” capacity • Dimensions include • Organization of programs • Staffing and budgeting • Supervision toward achieving goals • Procurement of supplies and material • Coordination of activites • Evaluation of efforts

  8. Legislation • Six types that govern healthcare system: • Authorizing legislation: enables programs • Facilitates Resource Production: either people or facilities • Social financing of health services • Quality Surveillance • Prohibition of injurious behavior • Protection of individual rights

  9. Regulation • Gov’t regulation in a free-market economy • Regulation required to implement legislation: Code of Federal Regulations • There is a lag-time between enactment of legislation and the establishment of regulations and implementation of programs

  10. Specific Regulations • Licensure: • National Standards in State-wide procedures • Physicians, Nurses, Hospitals • Controls Entry into market place • Certification: More often programs or specialties • Accreditation: usually voluntary • JCAHO, NCQA • CEPH

  11. Summary • Roemer Model: four parts to Management • Planning • Regulation • Legislation • Administration • No central planning authority exists in US • Regulation cause of most controversy
