  • Title: Strategic and economic factors in the hospital conversion process.
    Author: Hollis SR.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 1997; 16(2):131-43. PubMed ID: 9086661.
    Abstract:
    Cost containment and managed care pressures are driving hospitals to consolidate. Affiliation proposals from not-for-profit and for-profit partners will offer fundamentally different solutions to governance and economic issues. A clear definition of goals; an open, conflict-free proposal process; and a good understanding of value are the key ingredients of a successful transaction and regulatory approval, especially in an environment of heightened political interest in conversions.
