CUIJ-OWHEE, N. C. - The
State of Franklin Health
Council, Inc. has been awarded
a grant of $40,000 by the HeaAh
Services and Mental Health
Administration! HSMHA) for
the fiscal year 1971-72 to plan a
health maintenance
organization (HMO) for the
seven Southwestern North
Carolina counties of Cherokee,
Clay, Graham, Haywood,
Jackson, Macon, and Swain.
The beginning date of this
comprehensive health planning
endeavor, July 1, 1971, also
marks the completion of an
initial feasibility study of health
information and management
which has been supported (or
According to Charles
Edwards of Lake Junaluska,
Executive Director of the State
of Franklin Health Council,
"This HMO planning grant, of
which 1 believe there is only one
other in the entire Southeastern
United States, will give our
council time and resources with
which to organize services and
to mobilize resources for a
comprehensive and coordinated
two months by the Association
for the North Carolina Regional
Medical Program with a grant
of $6,000 and by assignment of
staff assistance by the State
Department of Social Services
and by North Carolina Blue
Cross and Blue Shield, Inc.
health delivery system (or all of
the people of .our region."
The HMO concept of health
services is very flexible and can
take one or many forms. Within
this concept, as stated in a
HSMHA bulletin, it is proposed
that an organized system of
health care be provided to
assure or deliver an "agreed
upon set of comprehensive
health maintenance services
for a voluntarily enrolled group
of persons in a geographic area
and is reimbursed through a
pre-negotiated and fixed
periodic payment made by or on
behalf of each person or family
unit enrolled in the plan." HMO
services can be provided by an
organized group of physicians,
by a medical school, by a health
insurance company, by a
labor union, or by many other
kinds of organizations,
including an organization of
consumers of health services.
Recently the State of
Franklin Health Council
undertook to prepare , an
application to the Office of
Economic Opportunity in
Washington for a program of
comprehensive health services
for the people of Southwestern
North Carolina. That
application was rejected for
funding this fiscal year. "This
HMO planning grant will give
all of us an opportunity to
participate in health planning
for our region during the next
fiscal year with hopes of
developing a program
satisfactory to all, " Edwards
explained.
A seminar on health
information and management
will be conducted in the
University Center at Western
Carolina University on June 23
and 24 . Walter Lewis, Systems
Analyst of North Carolina Blue
Cross and Blue Shield is making
a feasibility study of health
information and management
in our region, and the
