Question

An umbrella term for a variety of health plans, each of which at some level integrates the financing and delivery of care to an enrolled population is called_________.

Answer 1

Answer:    Managed care

Explanation:  The goal of this care is primarily to reduce the cost of medical care while improving the quality of care provided and providing health insurance. All that  is achieved through the proper definition and coordination of all necessary measures at all levels, in order to achieve the desired quality and reduce costs. The needs of both preventative medicine and home treatment are also emphasised. Managed care is, therefore, a whole series of planned activities to achieve the aforementioned improvements or in other words it is the whole system or, as stated, an umbrella, which implies a type of health insurance. These activities provide contracts with healthcare institutions and healthcare professionals for the provision of care, preventative treatment and home care at reduced cost. The whole network of plans and activities based on those plans for providing this type of health insurance is at stake.
