Managed Care and Vulnerable Populations Study:  Adults with Serious Mental Illness Core Paper 2:

"The Managed Care study comprises three major components: 1) a prospective sample-survey consumer self-report study that relies on survey data involving service use, quality, outcomes, satisfaction and cost; 2) a claims and encounter  study that focuses on service use, costs and quality, drawing on claims and encounter data for all Medicaid recipients in the target service areas; and 3) a taxonomy of managed care organizations that examines the strategies and organizational arrangements in each of the study sites.  Each of the studies of the four population groups includes these three components.  Core Paper 1 presented findings from the analysis of the survey data from the prospective study, for the adults with serious mental illness population.  This report, Core Paper 2, presents information from the analysis of claims and encounter data for the same population."
