| Annotation | Managed care in the US is seen as a way of controlling costs, but if carefully designed, can result in better co-ordination of care for a patient. The cost savings accompanying a switch to managed care may make it possible to preserve health coverage for more people in vulnerable groups. This paper outlines ways of safeguarding patients' interests, and of ensuring quality and access to care. (RH). |
