s1 s1 s1
One effect of managed care is that pediatric healthcare delivery has shifted dramatically from
s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1
s1 the acute care setting to the ambulatory setting. The number of hospital beds being used has
s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1
s1 decreased as more care is provided in outpatient and home settings. The number of
s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1
uninsured children in the United States continues to grow. One of the biggest changes in
s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1
healthcare has been the growth of managed care.
