"Split management" corporation balances central authority, autonomy.
Three hospitals' boards of directors voted to create a multihospital split management corporation to allow each hospital to function effectively in a cooperative effort while retaining as much autonomy as possible. Each hospital preserves its mission and philosophy, selects its personnel, retains ownership of its assets, and receives specialized management expertise from the corporation, especially in budgeting and long-range planning.
