The US-Department of Human and Health Services maintains a website
called 'Managed Care Issue Forum'
( http://aspe.os.dhhs.gov/progsys/forum/manage.htm ),
including background information about Managed Care
( http://aspe.os.dhhs.gov/progsys/forum/basics.htm )
and a very usefull glossary of Managed Care terms
( http://aspe.os.dhhs.gov/progsys/forum/mcobib.htm ).
I hope, these hints are helpfull for you.
