Managed care, in its most general form, refers to coordination of health services in such a way that quality care is provided, but costs are kept low.

Researchers will find a variety of records such as memos, letters, information packets, and meeting notes covering areas like Medicare financing, managed care in rural areas, strategic planning, technical assistance, and committee work.
