允许卫生保健组织注册人员使用与卫生保健组织无关的提供者的开放式产品已成为克林顿政府医疗改革提案的重要组成部分，因为这些产品维护了消费者对任何提供者的选择自由。然而，从组织的角度来看，人们对提供开放式产品的后果知之甚少。本文运用“空间竞争”理论考察了卫生保健机构提供开放式产品的决策以及提供开放式产品对其招生的影响。
Open-ended products that allow an HMO enrollee to use providers who are not affiliated with the HMO have become an important component of the Clinton administration's health reform proposal, because these products maintain consumer freedom of choice of any provider. However, little is known about the consequences of offering an open-ended product from an organizational standpoint. This paper uses a theory of "spatial competition" to examine the decisions of health maintenance organizations to offer an open-ended product and the effect of offering an open-ended product on their enrollment.
