Summary
  • "Thomas P. Weil believes that the formation of health networks, or integrated delivery systems, represents a more sophisticated attempt to restructure America's health system than those previously undertaken. He argues that this is so because integrated delivery systems require the application of established business principles and well-researched clinical acumen to the delivery of medical care services.
  • This book evaluates whether recently formed health networks can generate enough fiscal savings to provide greater access to and quality of healthcare despite the current trend of cutbacks in reimbursement from Medicare and managed care plans."--BOOK JACKET.
