With greater penetration of managed care, this book addresses why liability exposure increases, where it increases, and what to do about it. Managed Care Risk: Reducing Risk While Increasing Patient Satisfaction reviews eight different situations in which providers can find themselves in a managed care dilemma. It then describes risk management principles that, when applied to a physician’s practice or to a health care system, can not only reduce exposure for a professional liability lawsuit, but increase patient satisfaction and promote managed care.
