This course explores the history, current impact and implications for the future of managed care from case management issues, through operational concerns, to the policy challenges of managed competition and Medicare and Medicaid managed care. Course participants will also have the opportunity to explore and discuss the ethical dilemmas specific to a managed care environment.
