Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing from forty-six years of experience, Dr. Ben Hickman, author of The Managed Care Revolution, endeavors to examine the impact of managed care on the nursing profession. Since the inception of managed care, hospitals, in competition with HMOs, have reduced patients' lengths of stay. Consequently, the roles and requirements of registered nurses have diminished considerably. The findings and conclusions from the author's thoughtful and exacting study of nurses at a leading New York City hospital are useful to hospital administrators seeking solutions to a shortage of nurses and provide critical information for resolving nurses' conflicts. Dr. Hickman cautions that managed care must be improved or replaced by another system if nurses are to remain in their profession and if young people are to be attracted to this noble career.

Book Synopsis The Economic Evolution of American Health Care by : David Dranove
Download or read book The Economic Evolution of American Health Care written by David Dranove and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American health care industry has undergone such dizzying transformations since the 1960s that many patients have lost confidence in a system they find too impersonal and ineffectual. Is their distrust justified and can confidence be restored? David Dranove, a leading health care economist, tackles these and other key questions in the first major economic and historical investigation of the field. Focusing on the doctor-patient relationship, he begins with the era of the independently practicing physician--epitomized by Marcus Welby, the beloved father figure/doctor in the 1960s television show of the same name--who disappeared with the growth of managed care. Dranove guides consumers in understanding the rapid developments of the health care industry and offers timely policy recommendations for reforming managed care as well as advice for patients making health care decisions. The book covers everything from start-up troubles with the first managed care organizations to attempts at government regulation to the mergers and quality control issues facing MCOs today. It also reflects on how difficult it is for patients to shop for medical care. Up until the 1970s, patients looked to autonomous physicians for recommendations on procedures and hospitals--a process that relied more on the patient's trust of the physician than on facts, and resulted in skyrocketing medical costs. Newly emerging MCOs have tried to solve the shopping problem by tracking the performance of care providers while obtaining discounts for their clients. Many observers accuse MCOs of caring more about cost than quality, and argue for government regulation. Dranove, however, believes that market forces can eventually achieve quality care and cost control. But first, MCOs must improve their ways of measuring provider performance, medical records must be made more complete and accessible (a task that need not compromise patient confidentiality), and patients must be willing to seek and act on information about the best care available. Dranove argues that patients can regain confidence in the medical system, and even come to trust MCOs, but they will need to rely on both their individual doctors and their own consumer awareness.
Book Synopsis The Economic Era of Health Care by : Everett A. Johnson
Download or read book The Economic Era of Health Care written by Everett A. Johnson and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1996-08-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by three of the most eminent spokespersons in the field of health care management--Everett A. Johnson, Montague Brown, and Richard L. Johnson--The Economic Era of Health Care presents an insider's expose of the dramatic shift in modern medicine from traditional, health-oriented community care to the new era of bottom-line-focused medical treatment. The implications of this fundamental change in health care from Main Street to Wall Street are explored in aseries of dialogues about the most recent changes in managed care, hospital governance, alliances between physicians and managers, and health care ethics. Johnson, Brown, and Johnson offer a compelling picture of today's health care industry: the problems to be solved, the threats that must be met, and the opportunities that lie ahead for those hospitals and physicians who are willing to challenge the status quo.This book is filled with insightful commentary and information that makes sense of the profound changes that are taking place in our health care system. And the authors offer guidance about which values and attributes of our traditional system should be preserved. The book includes discussions of such timely topics as:** Why the control of health care decisions is shifting from providers to employers, business coalitions, government, and managed care plans.** How the massive infusion of investor capital, which is used for purchasing hospitals, managed care, and physician practices, has restructured health care delivery systems on a regional and national level.** Whether capitation can be a long-term solution to the cost of health care.** The role of managed care in community wellness and prevention.** What effect the anticipated decline of the number of specialists will have on health care.** How physicians and hospitals are organizing themselves to deal more effectively with managed care plans.** How physician-executives can weave together clinical and managerial skills to succe

Book Synopsis The Challenge of Regulating Managed Care by : John Eugene Billi
Download or read book The Challenge of Regulating Managed Care written by John Eugene Billi and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representatives of industry, government, caregivers, and consumers join scholars and policy analysts in comparing market forces to regulation as potential means for righting what is wrong with managed care. The contributors that John E. Billi and Gail B. Agrawal have gathered here quickly move the healthcare debate beyond the classroom, think tank, and statehouse to the boardroom and examining room. Some argue strongly that the solution is to be found in the democratic process and government intervention, while others maintain that only market forces in a competitive environment can respond quickly to the needs of consumers and purchasers alike. The contributors' diverse opinions about the oversight of managed care reflect an enduring divide, one that will affect how society ultimately resolves questions about the inevitable tradeoffs among health-care quality, cost, and access in an environment of limited resources. The Challenge of Regulating Managed Care will appeal to policymakers, those in the medical field, and all readers interested in the American experience with managed care. John E. Billi is Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Medical Education; Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, University of Michigan Medical School; and Associate Vice President for Medical Affairs, University of Michigan. Gail B. Agrawal is Associate Professor of Law, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: A true revolution has taken place in the financing of health care in America. Today, managed care is dominating the way Americans receive and pay for their health care. With the rise of managed care medicine has been wrenched out of its atomized world of solo physician practices and community hospitals and has been transformed into a modern industry of giant for-profit companies traded on Wall Street. The current marketplace is characterized by mergers, acquisitions and the establishment of giant multi-billion dollar healthcare networks. Hospitals and managed care plans run big advertisement campaigns in the media, praising their products and services in order to get the biggest share possible of the $1.1 trillion America spends on health care each year. All parties involved in providing health care lobby for their interests at all levels of political decision-making in order to influence legislators and policymakers. Today s health care market changes quickly and at a high rate. New variations of managed care arise constantly making any analysis of managed care an ongoing game of "catch-up" with the marketplace. While writing this paper, for example, UnitedHealthcare dropped one of the major managed care instruments, utilization review, to address public s concerns and pending legislation. This paper will take a snapshot of managed care on the eve of the new millennium by using the most recent information available. After this introduction, the paper will give a description of the current American health care system in chapter two (The U.S. Health Care System). Then, the paper will focus on two aspects: A detailed description of managed care in chapter three (Managed Care) and an introduction of the main issues connected with this way of providing health care in chapter four (Managed Care issues). The paper will argue in chapter five (Results and Future Developments), that managed care of the future will be a light version of what is currently existing, resulting in less strict restrictions and more freedom for patients and doctors. Finally, the report will focus on recent developments in Germany, where policy-makers have started to adopt particular elements of managed care. In chapter six (Managed Care Approaches in Germany), the paper will argue, that Germany should pay more attention to the American experiences regarding managed care in order to prevent harm for patients in [...]
