A stakeholder approach to community health management.
Although community health management has become an important issue for health care organizations, there is little information on the roles that they and other community institutions ought to play in this area. This article develops a stakeholder approach to community health management, identifies the set of community health stakeholders, determines their salience to health care organizations, discusses the strategies they use to influence organizational involvement in community health management, and examines the responses of health care organizations. Implications for community institutions, health care managers, and researchers are discussed.
