This volume deals with the reorganizing of health care delivery
systems: problems of managed care and other models of health care
delivery. Issues of how to best organize a health care delivery
system are not new, but the amount of interest in this topic in the
US (as well as in other countries) has grown in recent decades.
Reorganizing health care delivery systems is a concern of many
systems of the world, and this volume contains some papers from
countries other than the US, although the majority of the papers do
relate issues to the US health care delivery system. While most
papers relate to structural and organizational factors, the impact
of individual patients is not neglected. The volume contains 11
papers, organized into four sections. The sections cover managed
care issues and organizational features, special groups of patients
and health issues, lessons from other countries, and broader policy
concerns and health insurance reform. This book addresses important
themes in medical sociology, with papers that range from those with
an explicit policy point of view to narrower papers on more
specific issues in health care delivery. It aims to contribute to
improving our understanding of these issues and provides a
sociological focus for the exploration of them. This should make
the volume essential reading for medical sociologists and other
social scientists studying health care delivery issues. The
information should be also helpful to health services researchers,
policy analysts and public health researchers.
