Show moreIn Orange County, California an innovative, pre-paid, capitation- type of health care program for welfare patients is being developed. This thesis investigates potential participation of conservatively oriented physicians in such a program. A direct mail questionnaire to the total physician membership of the Orange County Medical Association was utilized to determine patterns of medical practice in orange county, involvement of physicians in current welfare programs, and criteria acceptable to physicians that would effectively implement a program providing quality medical services readily accessible to welfare patients. Secondary research concentrated on current concepts and actual practice in the provision, the cost, and the quality of health care provided welfare patients. Data gathered gives a degree of insight to the medical leadership in Orange County whether an innovative pre-paid health care program will attract sufficient physician participation to justify the signing of a formal contract with the State of California.

Show moreThis thesis is a study of the profiles of chief executives of motor truck and bus companies and allied industry companies who are members of their state association, the Texas Motor Transportation Association, Inc. The profiles were obtained from questionnaires received from 250 responding member chief executives out of the total membership of 921. From what was learned in a review of the questionnaires, characteristics were determined for each discipline of operation and for the entire association leadership. These indicated the makeup of the leadership, their interest areas in the association, and what they perceived to be the future needs of the industry. The conclusion emerged that such a profile can be an appropriate management tool for both the association and the individual members of the association.
