Up and comers: Lt. Cmdr. Robert J. Burg, Maura Loughlin Carley, Pete Delgado, John P. Glaser, Glen Nessel, Kevin Potter, Laura J. Redoutey, Vicki Romero, Nancy Schlichting, Paul Viviano, Greg Wozniak, Lorraine Zippiroli.

Modern Healthcare's 1991 Up and Comers, the fifth annual group, are scattered all over the map, from Boston to the Bay Area, from Flint, Mich., to El Paso, Texas. They work in managed care, associations and specialty hospitals; one even administers the office that cares for members of Congress. At least two are "healthcare brats" whose fathers managed hospitals. One spent time working in a salmon cannery; another was a Peace Corps volunteer in Swaziland. Despite their differences, they share many common traits. They are bright, committed and know how to motivate and involve others. Maura Loughlin Carley, an area administrator for Kaiser Permanente Foundation Health Plans, put it best when she said her goal is to "hire the best people, develop them and keep them happy." They're also committed to seeking new ways to improve healthcare delivery. As Kevin Potter said, "What keeps me humble is that there's so much that I'm learning every day." Each of these emerging leaders is making a mark on the healthcare industry. They were chosen from a field of almost 50 candidates, all 40 or younger, compiled by the editorial staff of Modern Healthcare and readers.

Hospitals can boost profits by going according to plan.

Hospitals that conduct strategic planning and implement comprehensive business plans are more profitable and efficient than hospitals without written plans, a new study shows. It also found that most successful hospitals included strategies to measure and improve quality and customer services in their business plans. Of the administrators that didn't conduct strategic planning, most said they hoped to begin in the next year.

Adventist Health System: after the break-up.

The demise of the Adventist Health System a year ago marked the end of an eight-year experiment. Part of its problems stemmed from disagreement between regional group presidents and AHS executives over consolidated financing and poor diversification decisions that cost the Adventists more than $100 million between 1984 and 1989. But what ultimately sank the system was a rift among Adventist regional group presidents, hospital executives and church leaders over authority and control.

Reproductive behavior and health in consanguineous marriages.

In many regions of Asia and Africa, consanguineous marriages currently account for approximately 20 to 50% of all unions, and preliminary observations indicate that migrants from these areas continue to contract marriages with close relatives when resident in North America and Western Europe. Consanguinity is associated with increased gross fertility, due at least in part to younger maternal age at first livebirth. Morbidity and mortality also may be elevated, resulting in comparable numbers of surviving offspring in consanguineous and nonconsanguineous families. With advances in medicine and public health, genetic disorders will account for an increased proportion of disease worldwide. Predictably, this burden will fall more heavily on countries and communities in which consanguinity is strongly favored, as the result of the expression of deleterious recessive genes. However, studies conducted in such populations indicate that the adverse effects associated with inbreeding are experienced by a minority of families.
