Abstract
Prepared by the Working Group on Clinical Services from the November 1995 Georgetown conference sponsored by the Association of Medical School Psychologists, this paper focuses upon issues related to the effects of health care reform and changes to the health care system on psychologists practicing within academic health care settings. Discussion of the changes in the health care economic system and the call for cost-effectiveness produced five specific suggestions for psychology to establish accountable, data-based models of behavioral health care.
