The HCO\u2019s move is strategic in nature, preventing the sale of the hospital to its for-profit competitor, and will gain the region its sole emergency department level 2 (two) trauma center with helicopter transport while giving the HCO the ability to service its growing HMO membership in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the above information:<\/p>\n<p>Evaluate the various HMO models (staff, group, and network) and identify the model that would probably be best suited for the region.
