Information and corporate strategy.

Hospitals are plagued by growing economic pressures, and are becoming prime targets for stepped-up governmental intervention. Today, hospitals must pay careful attention to payors' needs, and must focus on maintaining the highest standards on all fronts. Within this context, information systems will be invaluable tools to meet these challenges.

The role of the physician manager.

At least since the Griffiths Report ministers have been saying that clinicians must become more involved in the management of hospitals. It is not an approach peculiar to the UK, and in April last year an international symposium was organised in Toronto when six hospitals from four different countries discussed their experiences in trying to implement it. Peter Ellis and Malcolm Moffat describe how, despite the differences between the countries and their health systems, there was a remarkable amount of common experience.

Sunnybrook's matrix organizational model--moving ahead.

Traditionally, hospitals have denied the true intricacy of their organization by forcing all reporting relationships into a single structure. To address this complexity, Sunnybrook has developed three independent, yet interrelated, organization dimensions. Three structures--the traditional, the clinical unit and the programmatic dimension--provide a better link of accountability by holding departments responsible for the efficiency of their operations, holding physicians accountable for the resource implication of volume and case mix, and ensuring that the activities of the hospital's departments and clinical units are in line with hospital's overall mission and programs.
