摘要：

Employers and policymakers are looking for ways to encourage competition among health plans, thus lowering costs and improving quality. Employers hope to foster competition among health plans by creating standardized measures of quality that supplement the traditional benefits and cost information employees use to compare plans and make choices. This DataWatch examines employees' interest in standardized measures of plan performance. Results from a survey of Massachusetts state employees show that cost and benefit information receive high rankings, but certain plan performance information does not.
