Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
Richard R. (Dick) Barr is interviewed by Fred R. Hanold M.D. about Mastercare, a managed care plan formed by Presbyterian and St. Joseph Hospitals in 1972 and discontinued in Dec. 1981. Mr. Barr became Administrator of Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque in 1969 and in 1978 was named Executive Vice President and Chief of Operations for Presbyterian Hospital Center and Southwest Community Health Services. He was elevated to President in 1981 and served in that post until his retirement in 1985. Mr. Barr discusses the impetus to the creation of Mastercare and the reasons for its discontinuance, including the competitive health care environment in Albuquerque in the 1970's, early enrollments in the community's first health maintenance plans, and the economics of medical, surgical and hospital services provided under such plans.
