title: Managed care--issues and opportunities: a view from the CDC.
abstract: Major changes are occurring in the health system in the United States. Currently the term managed care is most synonymous with this era of change. The Centers for Disease Control, as the nation's federal agency responsible for prevention of morbidity and premature mortality, offers its perspective on the issues and opportunities for prevention and community health promotion presented in managed care, describes some of its collaborative projects with public health agencies and managed care organizations, and discusses some of the prevention aspects of HEDIS 3.0.
