title: Prospering under PPS. A guide for financial managers.
abstract: The survivors of PPS will be those organizations that gain knowledge and control of their true costs, learning how to manage them within the constraints imposed by the new payment system. It is difficult to predict the exact details of PPS legislation; however, several principles of PPS appear to be emerging that will probably be a part of the finished legislative product. Together they provide a framework sufficient to begin the process of analyzing how to prepare for PPS.
