Also note because this video is 7 years old as of my post, there are some "Important Terms" covered that are no longer seen as much in the industry while other terms are missing. If you are like me and was directed to watch this for a class, I hope my post helps you get through this video a little easier. 00:00 - 16:40 history of mental health, Dorothea Dix is mentioned and a timeline of treatment of mental health in this country (not related to managed care so you could skip it and miss nothing) 16:40 Development of Managed Care 19:50 What is Managed Care 20:59 Why the need for Managed Care 22:13 Assumptions with Managed Care 23:55 Purpose of Manage [sic] Care 29:16 Important Terms 38:12 Implications for Counselors (everything past this point is specific to people who work in the mental health space who is the likely intended audience for this video) 40:04 Skills for working in MCO 41:47 Advantages of MCO (again, specific to mental health professionals) 43:32 Disadvantages of MCO 46:42 MCO Philosophy 48:59 Managed Care and Ethics 50:34 Goodness of Fit
