There are several missions and visions of managed care. The first is to provide wellness care at a minimal cost to keep people healthy and avoid providing illness care at a higher cost. Another mission is to standardize diagnostic and treatment decisions across the nation. Managed care emphasizes the delivery of coordinated services across the care spectrum from wellness to death and uses financial incentives to decrease length of stay and achieve cost efficiency. Managed care was not implemented to address the nursing shortage. This type of plan does not cost as much as a traditional health plan nor do the insurance companies receive the extra money from premiums.
