title: Managing care, managing change, managing information.
abstract: Under managed care, information is often required on a longitudinal--not an episodic--basis. As a result, we need to rethink our approach to data storage and use. The author identifies ways to look at the demand for data in a managed care environment and shows how process assessment and benchmarking can help HIM professionals do their jobs more effectively.
