title: Structuring a service line.
abstract: In 1993, Community Hospitals Indianapolis created 10 service lines--each unique to the needs of the patients it serves. Two service line leaders talk about the factors critical to successful restructuring, the working relationships established, and the importance of clear communication to ensure understanding and get buy-in to the process.
