Synopsis

Emery assembles 10 chapters discussing problems with managed healthcare and proposes a solution using "episodes of care"--market-oriented care that takes into account consumer choice and value. Authors describe economics, risk, provider-driven care, improving the efficiency of Medicare, the employer's role, reimbursement programs, episode networks, provider performance and claims, the advantages of using information systems, and global payment programs. They outline methods of "focused factories," organizations that center on patient requirements, such as the Minnesota Healthcare Network. Annotation © 2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
