The ethics of managed care: toward a common vision
Article Abstract:
Medical professionals should develop a set of ethical values concerning managed care in keeping with the philosophy of community service behind health care. A shift in focus from finance to patient rights may help managed care and medical services move towards a more ethical approach to health care. Adherence to ethical guidelines will decrease patients' fear of managed care and enhance professional practice.

Mahatma Gandhi on organizational redesign
Article Abstract:
US hospitals have failed to achieve their goals in making organizational reforms because they have not acted upon the type of moral vision possessed by reformers such as Gandhi. Downsizing has inflicted pain without justifiable gain in the health care arena. US health care reformers should realize they cannot achieve their stated ends through brutal and immoral means.
