Managed care
Managed care is a system of health care management that is intended to reduce inappropriate and/or unnecessary health care expenditures by aligning economic incentives for both practitioners and patients so that both understand their options and select care that provides optimal value. "value" is a relationship of perceived and objectively measured quality, cost-effectiveness and caring.
