  • Title: Health care delivery: strength in numbers.
    Author: DeVries RA.
    Journal: Hospitals; 1978 Mar 16; 52(6):81-4. PubMed ID: 631764.
    Abstract:
    The number and types of multi-institutional arrangements among health care facilities are on the increase, and the days of the completely autonomous, independent hospital are coming to a close. Although by themselves hospital systems are no panacea in dealing with the challenges facing hospitals today, many such arrangements offer more opportunities than problems in coping with the rapid changes currently facing the health care industry. The pros and cons of seven arrangements are discussed in detail.
