Health care downsizing: a survival guide.
One would be hard pressed today to find a profession that has not experienced the effects of downsizing. Health care management is no exception. Although physicians were once regarded as relatively safe from layoffs, it is now estimated that "at least" 10 percent of physician executives will fall victim to health care downsizing in 1995. Furthermore, with a 14.3 percent turnover rate of hospital CEO positions in 1994, reversing a two-year drop, health care downsizing appears to be on the upswing. This article analyzes downsizing in the health care industry and gives some advice on how physician executives can deal with it successfully.
