title: A three-way corporate partnership for specialty hospitals.
abstract: Ultimately, the burden of escalating health care costs will be shared by all. A coalition of hospitals, suppliers, and group purchasing organizations possesses the power to communicate with each other as well as to ensure viability in the 21st century. Creative contracting will hopefully become the wave of the future in the health care industry.
