The cognitively limited severely mentally ill: concerns for managed care.
The managed care needs of cognitively impaired severely mentally ill inpatients have not been estimated. The aims of the study were to estimate and describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of cognitively impaired patients in an urban inpatient sample. By doing so, we hoped to identify areas that need further study and treatment modification in planning capitated contracts.
