Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managed care has produced dramatic changes in the treatment of mental health and substance abuse problems, known as behavioral health. Managing Managed Care offers an urgently needed assessment of managed care for behavioral health and a framework for purchasing, delivering, and ensuring the quality of behavioral health care. It presents the first objective analysis of the powerful multimillion-dollar accreditation industry and the key accrediting organizations. Managing Managed Care draws evidence-based conclusions about the effectiveness of behavioral health treatments and makes recommendations that address consumer protections, quality improvements, structure and financing, roles of public and private participants, inclusion of special populations, and ethical issues. The volume discusses trends in managed behavioral health care, highlighting the emerging role of the purchaser. The committee explores problems of overlap and fragmentation in the delivery of behavioral health care and discusses the issue of access, a special concern when private systems are restricted and public systems overburdened. Highly applicable to the larger health care system, this volume will be of particular interest to all stakeholders in behavioral healthâ€"federal and state policymakers, public and private purchasers, health care providers and administrators, consumers and consumer advocates, accrediting organizations, and health services researchers.

This book was released on 1998-07-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussions of managed care are dominated by emotion and rhetoric and failure to differentiate among the varying structures, approaches, and strategies that are called managed care. These discussions rarely take account of the complexity of the arena or the failures of mental health systems prior to the introduction of managed care. If we are to shape managed care constructively, we first need clear understanding of how it is structured, how it functions, and when it performs well and poorly. This should help identify how practices can best be monitored, evaluated, and, if necessary, regulated. This book will help readers along this path. This is the 78th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Mental Health Services. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals section.
