Health care management according to Ben Franklin.
The evolution of health care management in the 20th century has been from physician/nurse to health administration generalist to management specialist to political leader. I foresee an increase in the number of physicians and nurses in institutional leadership positions; and the increasing concentration of health care resources in multi-institutional systems will facilitate career development in continuing education. The challenge to educational programs will be the synthesis of the health sciences and the management sciences. The health care CEO of the 1990s will learn to behave like a prime minister by the 21st century.
