Forecast for health service executives: rapidly rising compensation.

Total cash compensation for health service executives should increase at an annual rate of 9 to 10 percent in the next few years. Retirement income, life insurance, long-term disability coverage, and general perquisites will likewise improve. Health service executives receive proportionately lower cash compensation (salary plus bonuses), judged by their institutions' operating budgets, than executives in the for-profit sector.

Volatility and opportunity: industry forecast.

Although hospitals have grown and prospered by "doing good," that purpose no longer is the only consideration in health care decisions. Business and the federal government now play key roles in controlling costs, and the once orderly prepayment industry is now a tangle of competitive interests. For the next few years, economic considerations will force quality-of-care issues to the background. In fact, until the current malpractice crisis, which causes physicians to practice defensive medicine, is resolved, it is unlikely that "doing good" will be the dominant concern. The future does not, however, hold greater and stiffer economic competition as far as one can see. Payers will be able to wring concessions from hospitals for only so long. When patient care is jeopardized, payers then will loosen the purse strings, and hospitals will return to a balance between "doing good" and "at what price".

The Chrysler experience, and forecasts.

Using his experience with Chrysler Motors as an example, the author tells how waste, inefficiency, and greed shaped a corporate health care system that, if it continued, could have blocked the corporation's recovery. An intense investigation of the use and abuse of this plan resulted in savings of about $100 million over an initial two-year period, with an additional $250 million savings projected over the following five years. In considering future changes in the country's health care system, he comments on the need for hospital cutbacks; reduction in unwarranted variations in medical practice; dissemination of necessary information to both individual and corporate purchasers of health care; increasing utilization of nurses in the medical arts; changes in the medical malpractice system; an increase in corporation case management systems; and competition among providers, which, by reducing costs, will most likely result in an efficient health care system for all people.
