Health care culture is a powerful force in hospitals that must be taken into consideration in attempting to effect changes in employees' behaviors. A survey can be taken to assess the cultural climate of a health care institution.
Through use of multivariate statistical and research techniques, the authors analyzed 30 hospital features that contribute to a physician's image of a hospital as being a good or a poor place for patient admission and in which to practice. Use of the data obtained in this study can enable a hospital administrator to monitor changes in physicians' attitudes, plan strategies to encourage quality physicians to admit their patients, improve aspects perceived to be weak or unresponsive, and capitalize on strengths.
