Contract management firms continue their growing years.
Hospitals continue to welcome contract management firms into their facilities, as evidenced by another year of healthy growth in 1990. The 75 companies responding to Modern Healthcare's annual survey reported a 13.7% gain last year in the number of contracts. Clinical sectors spearheaded the growth, with emergency department management now the overall leader.
