A Strategy for Coping with Change: An Affiliation between a Medical School and a Managed Care Health System.
Stevens, David P.; And Others
Academic Medicine, v71 n2 p133-37 Feb 1996
Issues and difficulties in the management of formal affiliations between medical schools and managed health-care organizations are discussed, based on the experience of the Case Western Reserve University (Ohio) medical school and the Henry Ford Health System. Difficulties include differing institutional cultures, departmental authority over curriculum and faculty appointments, and competition for preeminence and for patients. (Author/MSE)
