Right now, managed care is a vast cosmic soup. But whether its ultimate form is the result of a bureaucratic big bang or a series of small industry explosions, one thing seems clear: telecommunications is the framework upon which managed care will be built. Managed care's primary players--purchasers, providers and payors--have already discovered the unifying power of telecommunications within their respective worlds. However, as the three worlds collide, an entirely new set of special telecommunications needs arises. And most of these needs can be distilled into three basic requirements: bigger networks, faster networks and smarter networks.
目前，管理式医疗犹如一锅广阔的宇宙浓汤。但其最终形式究竟是官僚主义的大爆炸，还是一系列小型行业爆炸的结果，有一点似乎很清楚：电信是构建管理式医疗的框架。管理式医疗的主要参与者——购买者、提供者和支付者——已经在各自的领域发现了电信的统一力量。然而，随着这三个领域相互碰撞，出现了一整套全新的特殊电信需求。而这些需求大多可归结为三项基本要求：更大的网络、更快的网络和更智能的网络。
