title: Head of FAH sees long-term value in voluntary cost containment.
abstract: Michael D. Bromberg, executive director of the Federation of American Hospitals, underscores the importance of the voluntary effort for health care cost containment. He sees investor-owned hospitals, with their expertise in management, as providing incentive (namely, the profit motive) for maximum efficiency. Not-for-profit hospitals, he said, could also use some of the for-profit concepts.
