title: Capital decisions. Where is the smart money being invested?
abstract: Health care executives are faced with a welter of priorities when it comes to allocating their increasingly scarce capital: they need to build information systems, organize primary care physicians, and expand outpatient services. But what are the defining issues? We asked five executives to explain how their strategies are changing as a result of managed care growth and integration. What emerges is a snapshot of the new capital allocation reality.
