Selection of a contract renegotiation strategy should be preceded by a focused analysis of situational variables and followed by conscientious performance monitoring. Through careful consideration of the compatibility to their goals, core values, and operational capabilities, healthcare providers and managed care organizations can craft agreements with the potential for sustaining meaningful long-term partnerships.
