  • Title: Academic health center teaching hospitals in transition: a perspective from the field.
    Author: Cyphert ST, Colloton JW, Levey S.
    Journal: Best Pract Benchmarking Healthc; 1997; 2(6):258-64. PubMed ID: 9543922.
    Abstract:
    A study of 11 Academic Health Center Teaching Hospitals (ATHs) in 11 states found that cost reduction programs, internal reorganizations, reengineering, benchmarking, and broadened entrepreneurial activity were prominent among the strategic initiatives reported in dealing with an increasingly turbulent environment. Although none of the ATHs had experienced negative net margins, we conclude that today's competitive healthcare system requires ATHs be reimbursed separately for their educational and other societally related costs to assist them in competing on a level playing fields.
