The referring physician: the key to a successful marketing analysis and program.

There are a variety of marketing approaches available to hospitals to help maintain and/or increase their influence in the competitive health care system. This article will focus on one important but relatively ignored aspect tha must be an integral part of any successful hospital marketing program. Referring physicians and the network this group forms around a hospital through the different referral patterns is of primary influence on the hospital's future. This article supports the thesis that the hospital's eventual survival or demise is directly linked to this often unconscious referral network.

A mathematical model to determine facility needs for a radiology department.

In summary, a mathematical model has been developed, tested, and applied which measures effectively the number as well as the type of radiographic rooms needed to meet the current and projected radiographic demand for a typical health care facility. The model first required a projection of radiographic procedures, based on historical data. Secondly, the projected total by patient classification was subdivided into procedure categories. Finally, the projected categorised radiographic procedures are introduced into the formula (Equation 1) and is shown below: (formula: see text). The formula is applied to each procedure category. The grand total for each of the four separately calculated categories will measure the total number of rooms and type of facility needed in the future. (formula: see text).

Developing a strategy for managing the hospital's growing technology.

Successful hospital CEOs, administrators and department heads skilled at their professions, face a major challenge from the onslaught of rapidly developing medical instrumentation technology. To meet this rapidly growing challenge, they must identify their needs, survey their resources, and take positive action now to develop the necessary clinical engineering and equipment control programs to cope cost effectively with the future. This article provides an overview of the fundamental problem for the hospital administrator, suggests a direction toward solution, and provides a primer on the resources available to effectively deal with, if not solve, the enormous problem posed by the ever increasing technology dependence of health care.
