The changing hospital industry

"What determines a hospital's choice of for-profit or not-for-profit organizational form? And how does that form affect patients and society?" "This volume answers these questions through empirical research, providing a factual basis for discussing for-profit versus not-for-profit ownership of hospitals. Through the use of case studies and other empirical work, this collection provides a first look at the evidence about some new and important issues in the hospital industry." "This collection will have significant implications for public-policy reforms in this vital industry. The Changing Hospital Industry: Comparing Not-for-Profit and For-Profit Institutions will be of great interest to scholars in the fields of health economics, public finance, hospital organization, and management, and to health services researchers."--BOOK JACKET.
