Managed Care - Solution Or Problem?:""Managed care" is medical care that is provided by a corporation established under state and federal laws - a company that makes medical decisions for you in much the same way a financial adviser takes charge of your investment portfolio. Your managed care provider tells you which physicians to consult, monitors the medications and treatments they prescribe, and ensures that your costs remain as low as possible. For these services, you pay a set insurance premium each year." ******************************************************

For sure, uncertainty is a familiar companion of late as the nursing community struggles with its own precarious balancing act of action and reaction in response to constant changes in the health care delivery system." ****************************************************** ****************************************************** Organizational Listings:
