  • Title: Consolidation and restructuring: the next step in managed care.
    Author: Danzon PM, Boothman LG, Greenberg PE.
    Journal: Health Care Manag; 1995 Oct; 2(1):221-35. PubMed ID: 10165637.
    Abstract:
    Rising expenditures on health care in the U.S. have been facilitated by the fundamental problems of asymmetric information and insurance-induced moral hazard. If managed care is to succeed, it must take both into account through strategies such as information-based consumer education and provider risk-sharing. Because larger networks offer significant advantages in implementing such strategies, hospital mergers, physician-hospital alliances, and economies of scale are major trends in the evolution of managed care.
