Tax exemption. Challenge and opportunity for not-for-profit hospitals.

As healthcare reform is debated over the next several years, not-for-profit hospitals will see increased challenges to their tax-exempt status. Over the past forty years, the requirements for maintaining a tax-exempt status have undergone numerous changes. In the last several years, several states have challenged the right of hospitals to maintain this desired status. As we move toward the mid-1990s, it will be critical for not-for-profit hospitals to demonstrate and communicate their commitment to charitable endeavors.

Hospital chief executive officer turnover.

This study indicates that the nationwide CEO turnover rate is lower than many people estimate but was still, in 1987, an uncomfortable 22 percent on average. Some of this turnover may help some hospitals, for example, those with incompetent administrators. Some turnover may be natural in that some CEOs may have retired or died. Other turnover is controlled, such as that in the investor-owned sector where planned movement is expected. The analysis of the data in this study indicates that smaller hospitals experience higher turnover rates than do their larger counterparts. In 1987 Sun Belt and western hospitals experienced greater turnover than upper midwestern and eastern hospitals. As a group, however, the investor-owned sector led in turnover rates among hospital CEO turnover rates.

Preventive services: an educational or political issue?

A major concern about health care in the United States, as we move into the 1980s, is the spiraling cost of such services. Thoughts and efforts surrounding the issues of how to control those costs have ranged from the establishment of different payment mechanisms and "professional services review" of care quality to means of avoiding the need for health care in the first place. If we are to alternate our approach to traditional health care, then we must bring the consumer back into the position of responsibility. This will call for a rethinking of our attitude toward intervention and prevention measures. This article looks at some of the issues and controversy which presently surround the implementation of the "prevention" concepts. The author suggests the answer lies with increased participation from both patient-consumer and the health professional.
