Practice Management. Models of practice management Health care costs have risen above inflation over the last decade and have placed health care services beyond the reach of many South Africans. Xxxx component of managed care initiatives is the r eduction in costs and this provides the single most important reason for the introduction of managed care in the South African health care market. Managed health care has grown in the USA, because it allows employers to purchase health care services for their employees at a lower cost than traditional insurance. The health care sector will in future allow for a combination of fee-for-service and managed care systems. Managed care will probably constitute the main growth area in the private sector. It may also provide the vital interface between the public and private sectors. Managed care initiatives introduced within the South African market to date have had a variable success rate. Compr ehensive initiatives have generally failed due to hostile relations with providers, an American approach to health care delivery, over ambitious plans and the inability to recognise new business requir ements.

The core elements of managed care are control of patient access to providers and utilisation management. The objective is to optimise the use of resour ces while monitoring the quality of care provided, as well as the outcomes. Two common elements in all managed care systems are therefor e the presence of an authorisation system and a restriction on a member’s choice of pr ovider. Member benefits are normally reduced in instances where unauthorised services are accessed outside the managed care system. Managed Care versus Fee-for -service Managed care is about comprehensive care. It manages preventive, promotive, rehabilitative and curative car e. Sponsors of managed care systems in South Africa include traditional medical schemes. Many tools or techniques are used to achieve the goals of managed care systems. Examples of such tools or techniques are provider networks, fee schedules, risk-sharing arrangements, contr...

Situations which elucidate practice management and team work are presented to the study-groups, as an integral component of learning especially during the fourth and fifth years. Learning is parallelled with experiences in the clinical settings by direct contact between students, their clinical instructors, dental nurses and dental technicans, thus ensuring that the planning is formulated and the implementation of patient care is carried out in a manner compatible with a professional context. Furthermore, the students´ learning experiences are reinforced in the Public Dental Health Service during the fifth year. ‘Business Management’ skills necessary to run a private dental practice are not included. These are recognised as more appropriate to be undertaken in a postgraduate environment. Primary Aims The primary aims are that the graduates should be able to apply their knowledge on legal, financial and organisational requirements in providing oral health care for the individual patient as a member of a community/society at large and to act as a member and a leader in an oral health team. Main Objectives The students should have an appropriate understanding and skills: • that in order for treatment to be successful it must be compatible with the needs of patients • that the provision of oral health care has a time and cost value associated with it in particular in consideration to the patient • of team work with other health workers particularly within the oral health team
