Abstract |
The State of Israel is preparing to transfer legal responsibility for mental- health care from the government to the country's four competing, nonprofit health-plans. A prominent feature of this reform is the introduction of managed care into the mental-health system. This change will likely affect the service delivery patterns and care practices of professional caregivers in mental-health services. The study examines psychiatrists' and psychologists' patterns of service delivery and practice, and their attitudes toward the reform's expected effects, focusing on the following questions: To what extent do today's patterns of service delivery suit a managed-care environment? To what extent do professionals expect the reform to change their work? And do psychiatrists and psychologists differ on these questions? |
