  • Title: Organizational restructuring in health care: a successful approach.
    Author: Isaak S, McCutcheon D.
    Journal: Healthc Manage Forum; 1997; 10(3):34-41. PubMed ID: 10173497.
    Abstract:
    The process of redesigning the internal organization structure of the Hamilton Civic Hospitals provides a successful example of this type of transformation. Based on a strategic approach to change, this multiphased process used a modified delphi technique to allow maximum participation in a total redesign of the structure during a four-month time frame. Implementation, which followed over the next year, resulted in a 40 percent reduction in management positions and the integration of the two sites of the hospital.
