    Author: Friedman K, Elerding W.
    Journal: Health Care Strateg Manage; 1988 Jan; 6(1):4-9. PubMed ID: 10302213.
    Abstract:
    As rural hospitals grapple with falling utilization and increasing competition, many are realizing that their viability is in question. This article reviews the issues most critical to the survival of the rural hospital and offers a two stage business planning process to address these issues. In the first stage, the hospital defines its role in the delivery of health care. The second stage requires developing a business plan that improves the hospital's resource management.
