Managed care organizations that serve the poor face unique challenges. Not only must they empower their enrolled populations with awareness and knowledge about the benefits of being enrolled, but they must also provide significant outreach, offer services that are sensitive to urban and rural concerns, and stress health education and disease prevention. The managed care model offers efficiency and effectiveness that can place providers on the leading edge of not only providing solutions that address the needs of the underserved, but being competitive in servicing these populations.
为贫困人口提供服务的管理式医疗组织面临着独特的挑战。它们不仅必须让参保人群了解参保的益处并增强其意识，还必须进行大量的宣传推广，提供兼顾城乡问题的服务，并强调健康教育和疾病预防。管理式医疗模式具有高效性和有效性，这不仅能使医疗服务提供者在提供满足弱势群体需求的解决方案方面处于领先地位，还能在为这些人群提供服务时具备竞争力。
