Service line concept gaining strength.
A survey was conducted in August 1988 to determine the extent to which service lines are being developed in hospital settings. The survey also attempted to determine the involvement of physicians in the planning, implementation, and implementation, and successful operation of service lines. Responses were obtained from 324 (27 percent) of the 1,198 hospital-based physician executives who received the survey questionnaire.
