Administrative ethics in the 1990s: CEOs confront payment, access dilemmas.

The 1990s are presenting new challenges to hospital CEOs. One theme currently emerging is the ethics of resource allocation. As they search for ways to fulfill their community responsibilities under pressures related to reimbursement, technology and community desires, hospitals are finding that they must make some very tough choices in how they allocate resources. Given the opportunity, how would you respond? Compare your response to an ethical scenario with those of three nationally recognized hospital CEOs.

Tailor resources to community's health agenda. Interview by Frank Sabatino.

D. Kirk Oglesby, Jr., president of Anderson (SC) Memorial Hospital, is the new chairman-elect designate of the American Hospital Association. Oglesby says that a number of key policy issues will be discussed during his tenure, but one of the most important will be determining the appropriate way to be a key player in reshaping the country's health care delivery system. The role of the community hospital is also of interest to Oglesby. He sees these institutions as vital players in providing the total health care agenda for the people they serve. This will take commitment, he says, as well as a forward-looking and flexible attitude that allows hospitals to modify services as the community dictates. Oglesby currently serves as an AHA commissioner on the Committee of Commissioners to the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) at a time when this organization has come under considerable criticism from the hospital field. As part of his interview with Hospitals, he was asked how responsive he feels the JCAHO has been to concerns from the field and his vision of the importance of the JCAHO to the future of health care.
