title: Variables in effective CEO-medical director relations.
abstract: It is becoming commonplace that physicians are not just working in hospitals but are helping run them as well. This means that chief executive officers are working side by side with chief medical officers. What are the factors that influence the working relationship between these roles? The author presents data from a survey that helps to answer this question.
