  • Title: Decentralization or centralization: striking a balance.
    Author: Dirschel KM.
    Journal: Nurs Manage; 1994 Sep; 25(9):49-51. PubMed ID: 8075953.
    Abstract:
    An Executive Vice President for Nursing can provide the necessary link to meet diverse clinical demands when encountering centralization--decentralization decisions. Centralized communication links hospital departments giving nurses a unified voice. Decentralization acknowledges the need for diversity and achieves the right balance of uniformity through a responsive communications network.
