Public-Sector Managed Behavioral Health Care: I. Developing an Effective Case Management Program
Description:
The rapid transformation of the public mental health delivery system into a system of public contracts for privately delivered care is the most important current trend in managed care.

If the recent past predicts the near-term future, both scenarios will occur. (Author)
