Fiscal strategy in an era of reform.
In a reform environment, hospitals and health systems should be able to control-rather than simply understand-their costs. Senior managers and line managers throughout a healthcare organization should be solidly behind-and deeply involved in-the organization's cost-control efforts. Physicians also should be heavily engaged in cost control, as they are the only ones who can both establish clinical pathways and monitor their colleagues' use of them.
