Marching on with managed care.
In a matter of months, officials with Tricare--the military's answer to managed care--hope to have the operations and information systems in Region 1 up and running. Military officials plan to increase the use of technology in this region by connecting military healthcare facilities not only with each other, but eventually with civilian managed care organizations. Tricare administrators could be creating an ideal role model for the integration needs within the civilian sector.
