Consumer choice of doctors and hospitals, ease of access, confidentiality, and quality of patient care are all issues that have been thrust to the forefront of the managed care debate. The architects of managed care, however, believe that through standardization and volume, they can ultimately improve the quality of medical services provided to patients. This book, for all health care executives, board members, and policy makers, attempts to answer the unanswerable: Can managed care be effectively regulated?From policy to practicality, this book examines the regulation of managed care. Edited by leading managed care experts, Regulating Managed Care provides background on the issue, summarizes key survey findings on how Americans feel about managed care, reviews what areas are thought to need regulation, and examines the effect of proposed regulation on various areas of the health system.
