Managed Care Systems and Emerging Infections

---

Health care reform has changed the financial base upon which the modern academic medical center is structured. The cost-containment efforts of managed care organizations have reduced the institutions' net revenues from the provision of clinical care that have traditionally been used to support research and training. Concomitantly, the amount of time that faculty can spend conducting research and training future scientists and physicians has also been reduced, as the managed care system encourages physicians to treat more patients on a daily basis. Yet, in light of these changes, managed care can work with academic health centers to strengthen the foundation on which they conduct clinical investigations. Armed with large patient populations and centralized information systems, managed care organizations are uniquely positioned to partner their resources with the research infrastructure and culture offered by academic health centers. The following objectives related to conducting basic and clinical research in a managed care setting emerged during the workshop presentations and discussions and are described in greater detail in the workshop summary:
