Reseña del editor

Mental health practitioners in practice face unprecedented challenges from managed care, restructuring of insurance programs, and changing federal regulations.

Now, there are resources available intended to assist practitioners in improving their practice dynamics -- marketing, financial management, building group practices, managed care contracting, selecting information systems, and other pertinent topics affecting behavioral health care providers.

Each book has been written from a "how to" perspective and focuses on practical advice and guidance. In addition, each volume consists of an extensive bibliography for further sources of information.

These volumes will enable the practitioner to achieve the goal of preserving quality in an evolving health care market.

The objective of this book is to successfully plan for a group practice, whether the group practice results from an evolutionary process or is a conscious decision to transform a solo practice into a group practice to capitalize on changes in the market.
