Moving from crisis to rational management.
An increasingly harsh and complex health care environment is forcing hospital managers to make the transition from crisis to rational management. In the 1960s and early 1970s, American businessmen had to make this same transition. The author discusses some of the insights that hospital managers can gain from the previous experience of their corporate counterparts--namely, the need for effective delegation, administrative contracts, and receptivity to change.
