title: Productivity: survival tools for the fittest.
abstract: A slight change in an agency's productivity can significantly affect the bottom line. Thus, it is in agency's best interest to first determine current levels of productivity and then track it on an ongoing basis. The ability to continually measure the productivity of an entire organization will be an essential tool for surviving the transition from cost-based reimbursement to prospective payment.
