Research project to test collaboration.
Seven Denver-area hospitals have agreed to consider collaborating on cardiac-care services as part of a research project that could serve as a model for planning high-technology medical services. The hospitals and a private research organization have pledged $320,000 to fund development of a prototype program. But not all hospitals are sold on cooperation, and some have raised antitrust concerns.
