Whois & Analysis for keystonefirstchc.com

The term managed care or managed healthcare is used in the United States to describe a group of activities ostensibly intended to reduce the cost of providing health care while improving the quality of that care ("managed care techniques").

It has become the essentially exclusive system of delivering and receiving American health care since its implementation in the early 1980s, and has been largely unaffected by the Affordable Health Care Act of 2010.

A healthcare center, health center, or community health center is one of a network of clinics staffed by a group of general practitioners and nurses providing healthcare services to people in a certain area.

Typical services covered are family practice and dental care, but some clinics have expanded greatly and can include internal medicine, pediatric, women’s care, family planning, pharmacy, optometry, lab, and more.

In countries with universal healthcare, most people use the healthcare centers.

In countries without universal healthcare, the clients include the uninsured, underinsured, low-income or those living in areas where little access to primary health care is available.

Health policy can be defined as the "decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific healthcare goals within a society.

According to the World Health Organization, an explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future; it outlines priorities and the expected roles of different groups; and it builds consensus and informs people.
