Implementation of clinical budgeting in a public teaching hospital--first steps.
An action research project commenced the process of introducing a clinical budgeting system into the clinical areas in a large public teaching hospital. Focused interviews were used as the initial activity aimed at involving Heads in using the system. The process underlined a number of issues which need to be managed in this type of process and pointed to a number of factors which should be present to assist its introduction.
