  • Title: Organizational downsizing: streamlining the healthcare organization.
    Author: Van Sumeren MA.
    Journal: Healthc Financ Manage; 1986 Jan; 40(1):35-9. PubMed ID: 10274782.
    Abstract:
    Organizational downsizing is a proven technique for restructuring a hospital's organization in response to a severe decline in occupancy. This process involves the traditional microanalysis of staffing used in productivity studies, with a macroanalysis of the hospital's organization and operation. Organizational downsizing is designed to assist hospitals to identify and achieve substantial reductions in staffing. Therefore, it is most appropriate for hospitals that have experienced such severe occupancy declines that traditional productivity methods are not sufficient for achieving necessary staffing reductions.
