title: Straight talk. New approaches in healthcare. Managing medical research: strategies for success.
abstract: Medical research programs are under significant pressure both from declines in the growth rates of government funding as well as from increases in government oversight of the privacy and safety of human research subjects. To cope, forward-thinking healthcare institutions are applying the same no-nonsense business rules to their research programs that they apply to other programs and departments. Modern Healthcare and PricewaterhouseCoopers present Straight Talk. In the session on medical research, we discuss how and why the world of medical research is changing, and what health systems should do to manage research programs successfully. The session was held on March 4, 2003 at Modern Healthcare's Chicago headquarters. Charles S. Lauer, publisher of Modern Healthcare, was the moderator.
