Red Tape Squeezes Access to Mental Health Care
Brief Ascribe Newswire item on a report published in the May 2003 issue of General Hospital Psychiatry - "While competition among managed care organizations is thought to improve access to medical care, the "administrative burden" of juggling their policies and procedures may limit patient access to high-quality mental health services, according to a national survey of more than 7,000 primary care physicians." Full text of the report is only available through General Hospital Psychiatry for a fee.
