title: Administrative ethics in the 1990s: CEOs confront payment, access dilemmas.
abstract: The 1990s are presenting new challenges to hospital CEOs. One theme currently emerging is the ethics of resource allocation. As they search for ways to fulfill their community responsibilities under pressures related to reimbursement, technology and community desires, hospitals are finding that they must make some very tough choices in how they allocate resources. Given the opportunity, how would you respond? Compare your response to an ethical scenario with those of three nationally recognized hospital CEOs.
