Nurses can use the advanced information technology of managed care systems to improve the quality of patient care by examining a continuum of care, evaluating critical pathways, and educating patients. Managed care integrates health care delivery systems and finance systems and provides comprehensive services for an entire community. These advantages outweigh the frustrations of managed care.
