  • Title: Strategic plans provide lasting solutions to rural crisis.
    Author: Folger JC.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1990 Apr; 44(4):25-6, 28-30. PubMed ID: 10145232.
    Abstract:
    Strapped for money and time, many rural hospitals could be tempted by temporary fixes to their financial struggles. Strategic planning helps develop a broader, long-range blueprint for survival. Its steps include making financial evaluations of services; undertaking market and patient origin studies; assessing competitors; involving community leaders; and defining possibilities for joint projects and facility mergers.
