The development of integrated health care systems holds many pitfalls as well as potentials. This case study describes the development of the strategy that has moved the structure, mission, and vision of a health care system. It examines the questions of what members, payers, and providers' needs are when defined around the paradigm of responsibility for the health as well as the health care of a population. It starts by examining the background of the development of the strategies used by the health system during the past decade, and the environmental climate that has led to a redefinition of the mission and vision of the organization. This movement has moved the focus on acute health services to the development of a regional integrated health care system based on collaboration and on a responsibility to improve the health of those we serve through treatment, prevention, and education. Finally, the chapter reviews the options facing all of us: do we compete, collaborate, or both?

Spurred by competition and the growth of managed care, providers are seeking new approaches for satisfying the needs of health care purchases. Increasingly, these purchasers are focusing on the value of managed care arrangements, especially the degree to which they manage quality. Underlying the emerging focus on quality are concerns about "undercare," potential legal liability, and the economics of quality. Purchasers are sensitive to the quality of service and the experience of their patients, as well as the clinical quality of the care they receive, and many employers are now engaged in a systematic effort to assess both of these dimensions of quality. The emergence of national data banks, practice standards, and accreditation programs offers additional tools for strengthening provider accountability for quality.
