title: The hospital administrator's expectations of the manager of a department of dentistry.
abstract: This era of DRG/prospective payment systems has imposed responsibilities on hospital dental department managers that are beyond the traditional managerial functions. This paper presents ten of these additional duties for middle level managers. To survive, a hospital needs to see these responsibilities as goals and use them to formulate a plan of action.
