Networks and the Future of Medical Practice: Integrating Physician, Hospital, and Payer

This book is a philosophical and practical guide to a health care world in which managed care dominates and in which integrated systems of hospitals, physicians, and payers have been formed to add value to the health care product. Such systems are necessary, Dr. Amerongen says, if providers are to succeed in a difficult and changing world. He provides a solid understanding of what successful systems will look like and prepares the reader for the development stage that is certain to follow the current managed care approach.
