  • Title: A supervisory level self-directed work team in health care.
    Author: Blejwas L, Marshall W.
    Journal: Health Care Superv; 1999 Jun; 17(4):14-21. PubMed ID: 10537680.
    Abstract:
    Nationwide changes in health care delivery precipitated shifts in management within health care facilities. Connecticut experienced growth of 24 percent in managed care contracting between 1992 and 1994, a result of private sector initiatives set in motion by the proposed Clinton Administration health care plan. The shift from fixed rate to capitated payment structures was expected to have a negative impact on health care facilities and hospitals in particular. Further, it was anticipated that managed care would push services out of hospitals and into price-competitive, freestanding facilities. The response of Hospital for Special Care included development of a supervisory self-directed work team.
