Managed care has grown into the driving force for coordinating and managing healthcare delivery and its financing. At the same time, major initiatives have gained momentum in societal and legislative efforts regarding patient rights. This article provides a historical, legal, and philosophical review of the major events that have shaped the evolution of healthcare services and development of the patient rights issue. As the healthcare industry finds itself in a state of needed reform, the future evolution of managed care in light of the patient rights issue will have important implications for legislators, clinicians, and healthcare organizations as they struggle to provide quality care and improve cost controls. |
