In search of superior hospital management: a comparative analysis.
In post-socialist Europe, the emergence of a consumer-oriented change in health care management will take time, given the outdated framework in which centralized systems stagnated over the years. Based on personal interviews in two European countries, this study compares the experience of hospital unit general managers (HUGMs) in England and hospital medical superintendents (HMSs) in post-socialist Malta.
