title: Productivity management: a model for participative management in health care organizations.
abstract: The current cost of inflation in the health care industry, contributed to in part by the Medicare and Medicaid legislation, has created concerns for productivity that can no longer be ignored by health care administrators. Despite these concerns and in the face of increasingly scarce resources, many hospitals have not yet established productivity tracking systems or methods for measuring and analyzing potential areas for productivity improvement.
