Abstrakt: Managed care has arrived, especially on the West Coast. This tsunami is moving eastward at a rapid rate. Perhaps the experience with killer bees will be repeated with managed care, with decreased virulence as this wave moves across the country. Institutions would be wise to prepare for these changes with improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Radiologists are particularly at risk and need to aggressively adapt to managed care by becoming informed, developing a clear strategy for coping, and then executing their plan. Evolution will demonstrate once again the survival of the fittest.
