Abstract
Managed care has had a significant impact on many components of the U.S. health care delivery system such as cost effectiveness, access to care, and quality of care. These changes have affected how administrators and practitioners perceive the impact of managed care on health care delivery practices. The problem of this study was to explore whether health care administrators and practitioners perceive the impact of managed care on health care delivery practices differently and to explore which organizational variables explain the difference. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used for the target population of administrator and practitioner health care professionals from high, moderate, and low managed care penetration markets. Two investigator-developed instruments, the Managed Care Perceptions Inventory (MCPI) and the MCPI-D, and an intact centralization of decision-making assessment subscale were used for data collection.
