A system that works: managing managed care in psychiatry.
The Carrier Foundation, a not-for-profit psychiatric facility in Belle Mead, NJ, has been working with managed care for the past 5 years. As managed care began to affect patients' access to care, the quality improvement department at The Carrier Foundation became involved in case management. Through case management, the quality improvement department began to provide guidance to private review organizations to preserve and protect patients' rights and to ensure accurate reporting of clinical data.
