title: Restoring trust to managed care, part 2: a focus on physicians.
abstract: Physicians have lost their trust in managed care plans because of perceived deficits in competency, concern, choice, confidentiality, and communications. To succeed in a market-driven healthcare system, managed care plans must work to restore that trust. A variety of strategies are proposed to address physician concerns related to these 5 domains of trust. Although no single strategy will restore trust, a combination can improve the relationship with these important stakeholders.
