Overview

A combination reference, planning manual, and marketing guide, Psychological Assessment in Managed Care provides clinical psychologists with the expert guidance they need to successfully apply their unique psychometric and testing skills in the volatile world of managed behavioral health care. Clinicians and administrators alike will benefit from its detailed practical coverage of the new and emerging applications of both pencil-and-paper and automated psychological screening instruments. The book begins with a concise history of managed care, from the first HMOs to the emerging capitated payment systems. Special attention is given to the integration of mental and general health services, and the implications of this trend for psychological screening in medical settings. This is followed by an exploration of the benefits of new test applications under managed care, including risk and liability management, treatment planning, and quality and outcomes measurement and management. This section closes with an arsenal of cost-offset techniques that enable psychologists to better market their testing services to managed care payers. The final portion of the book is devoted to state-of-the-art automated testing systems. Dr Stout shows how new technologies can significantly enhance the quality of assessment, while keeping costs down.

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
