title: The changing face of health care. In search of the perfect solution.
abstract: Managed care has introduced a new accountability to the health care community and has challenged many to perform at a higher level--including health plans. Yet no one seems to be interested in evaluating the impact of the rules we already have. We need to see where we have succeeded, where we have failed, and where we may have added costly requirements with no net benefit to the system. Some observers seem reluctant to acknowledge that many of our new regulations carry a cost. Some regulations are worth the price, but objective analysis and evaluation may conclude that others are not.
