Abstract

The problems facing many US health care organizations may prove critical for survival for many of them. Outlines the nature of the problems: increased patient demand, tensions among personnel, technological innovation, cost‐conscious purchasers of care, the need to improve cost‐efficiency, and barriers to change within organizations. This last presents a number of problems that may often seem intractable and are peculiar to this type of organization.
