Serving the public good: professionalizing the hospital corporation

P A Roth et al. J Prof Nurs. 1989 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Economic concerns dominate hospital planning and policy decisions as hospitals seek to become more productive, competitive, and profitable. Professional concerns of quality care and public service may conflict with the profit-motivated business model. Nurse executives will have to be creative and politically astute to promote the integration of a professional model of service in this cost-conscious environment.
