Report To The Congress


DF THE UNITED STATES


-lealth Systems Plans:

A Poor Framework For

Promoting Health Care Improvements



Each of the Nation's 204 health systems agen-
;ies spends considerable time and effort devel-
)ping a health systems plan--a document des-
:ibing what needs to be done to improve
iealth care in a particular geographic area.
3AO's review of these plans found that they
;et forth too many objectives, many of which
ire too general, unrealistic, or unattainable.
Thus, the plans cannot be used as intended--as
3 framework for making needed changes to
he health care system.

3AO also identified planning problems in the
13 States having a statewide health systems
gency and problems in evaluating the impact
f the health planning program.

Information in this report should be useful to
the Congress as it considers the merits of the
President's proposal to phase out the health
lanning program.
