title: Action steps to prepare for the new managed care.
abstract: Remaining competitive under a managed care system requires skills and talents that were not necessarily important in home care until recent years. And as we get used to it, the current managed care model will undergo even more disruptions in the near future. Providers that want to succeed in the 21st century must learn to adapt and re-adapt to the managed care of tomorrow.
