1Bedford Health Associates, Inc., Asheville, NC, USA.
With a more centralist political philosophy emulating on Capital Hill, this article focuses on potential effects on materiel management executives of a half-competitive (managed care) and a half-regulatory (Medicare and Medicaid) environment in organizing and financing health services. It predicts a far more contentious field; further cutbacks in nonpatient care personnel, including senior positions for material management executives; the centralization of tertiary services; and the possibility of additional regulatory approaches to protect the public.
