Abstract
Private Initiative in PSRO (PI) is a privately funded joint effort by five major professional organizations to influence the implementation of PSRO on behalf of the public interest. Working with five PSRO's, PI is testing a form of concurrent quality assurance and its effect on the immediate outcomes of hospital care. The project also promotes and evaluates participation in local PSRO's by representatives of the general public. The operating costs of PSRO's and their impact on hospital utilization and reimbursements by Medicare and Medicaid are being prospectively determined.Keywords
