Approved for use
through 6/89 under the following conditions: o Question 8 of the
questionaire will be revised to read: "During the last year that
you were a member of the HMO, indicate how many separate times you
were in the hospital overnight." o The revised question 8 will be
inserted before question 19a. o Question 18a will be revised to
read: "How soon after you enrolled did you use services?" o
Question 19a will be revised to read: "How soon after you enrolled
were you first hospitalized?" o The "very good" rating will be
struck from question 24 so it is consistent with question 6.
