Abstract

Business coalitions on health were unable to achieve community wide savings in health care costs in the 1980s. Some coalitions are using TQM/CQI to achieve high quality health care at a reduced cost. Although too recent to determine its success, the use of TQM/CQI in employer-provider partnerships built on trust and good data systems may be the best hope for private sector health care system reform. Health professionals knowledgeable about TQM/CQI can play an important role in helping their employers make new relationships with health care providers work.
