Healthcare Administrator's Desk Reference: A Managed Care and Health Care Contracting Dictionary for the Military Health System

摘要

A strong working knowledge of managed care and health care contracting is the key to success for today's health care administrator. Specifically, a thorough knowledge of the language, terminology, and acronyms is fundamental to understanding today's health care delivery processes both in the civilian sector and the military health system. One consolidated desk reference was developed to improve communication and increase comprehension among and between providers and administrators across all services. The goal is to promote understanding and diminish confusion, thereby, albeit indirectly, improving the delivery of health care services.
