Preparing for practice in an era of managed competition
Abstract
Psychiatrists must take steps to prepare for health reform that includes managed competition. They should focus on managed mental health care in their reading, reevaluate fundamental beliefs and values to encompass an understanding of managed care, and try to view managed care organizations as allies. Psychiatrists should also use practice guidelines, participate in quality improvement activities and outcome studies, and improve their relationships with health care managers and administrators.
