Description

David J. Mactas (fr). There are strong pressures in the public sector to re-examine business & clinical practices in the light of the cost containment forces underlying managed care. One method of survival in this increasingly competitive environment is the coordination or integration of services with other providers. This paper examines the formation of two provider networks -- one in Iowa & one in Arizona -- that illustrates both the unique challenges faced regionally & the general principles of network development that apply to all health care systems. It provides firsthand accounts of health care systems that responded successfully to the marketplace challenges they faced.
