Synopsis

The authors systematically review the research evidence on the performance of managed care in the US, particularly in terms of its impact on utilization, costs, health promotion and screening, quality of care, and other key indicators. Following this analysis, they consider the development of managed care approaches in Britain's National Health Service, with reference to the early research evidence on the primary care-based policy-making in this important area.
