Faced with increasing health care costs, America's major corporations are beginning to explore a variety of mechanisms to assure that health care providers are delivering high quality care. The General Motors Corporation (GM), with approximately two million employees, retirees and family members, and annual health care expenditures of approximately $3 billion, has developed a quality review system and a hospital payment mechanism that includes incentives to enhance the quality of care provided to GM beneficiaries. The following article describes this project.

An essential part of every quality assurance program is feedback of findings to physicians so they can improve patient care. The ways in which feedback programs are planned and implemented determines their degree of effectiveness. A central feature of successful programs is active physician involvement. The program described below is a model which has achieved national recognition.
