title: Questions to ask before you plan.
abstract: If a hospital is to survive and flourish, it must know where it is at the moment as well as where it wishes to get to, and it must have a plan of action to bridge the gap between the two. This article suggests several questions that will enable an institution not only to assess its present situation but also to begin to define its future.
