Restructuring improves hospital competitiveness.
The operational evolution of hospitals, driven by advances in technology and clinical research and an increased emphasis on clinical specialization, has resulted in complex and fragmented operational service structures. Hospitals willing to critically evaluate and change their operating structures not only can increase productivity and decrease operating costs, but also can significantly improve the quality of patient care.
