Managed Care
Managed care refers to processes or techniques used by, or on behalf of, purchasers of health care that seek to control or influence the quality, accessibility, utilization, and costs of health care.

Managed Care and the Rationalization of Mental Health Services
Managed care represents a response to the wider institutional demand for technical rationality and efficiency, and it may be in conflict with professionally generated logics of mental health care which emphasize the delivery of quality care, as well as providing services to all who need care.

The Gospel of Germs
Evaluations of Organiztional Effectiveness in Mental Health Programs
