| Popis: | Note from the column editor: Dr. Rosenquist and his colleagues describe how their academically based health maintenance organization joined in training for level-of-care decision making with the external managed behavioral health organization that was providing utilization review and case management decisions. The academic department later took over its own utilization review and in so doing internalized the utilization review function.This development, which is beginning to occur in several states, is an important solution to the "assault" that many providers of care have experienced as a result of the utilization review process. Having taken this step to deal with the realities of 21st-century health care, the authors then seize the opportunity to use their own data to improve decision making within the clinic. This process is how we get to best practices. |
