title: Hospital size determines department director policy.
abstract: Early in 1990, the American College of Physician Executives undertook a survey of its hospital-based members to determine the extent to which hospitals had department directors and the roles, responsibilities, and compensation of those directors. The survey form was mailed to about 1,400 College members; responses were received from 734--approximately a 52 percent response rate. This article reports the results of the survey.
