Do hospitals practice strategic planning? An empirical study.

A survey was conducted to determine the extent of strategic planning management and specific planning techniques used in hospitals today. Results indicate that approximately one-half of all hospitals use some sort of formalized strategic planning, although many of these are in the early stages of development. Data is also provided on other strategic planning issues such as budget allocations to planning, planning process participants, and aspects of planning needing improvement. A general discussion of the value of strategic planning to hospital management is offered.

Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with salivary gland involvement and pericardial effusion.

A 60-year-old Palestinian woman developed extensive cutaneous lesions of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis. She also developed a pericardial effusion and involvement of the submandibular salivary glands. Soft tissue gallium images demonstrated this systemic involvement, and this procedure is proposed as a screening method to assess the extent of the disease. The patient showed partial remission after being treated with prednisone, vincristine sulfate, and cyclophosphamide.

Vesicular pemphigoid.

Seven patients had a chronic eruption of small vesicles that was initially considered to be atypical dermatitis herpetiformis. Histopathologic studies disclosed a subepidermal bulla that was compatible with either bullous pemphigoid or dermatitis herpetiformis. Immunofluorescence studies demonstrated deposition of IgG or C3, Or both, at the basement-membrane zone (BMZ) in six of seven patients. In four patients, circulating BMZ antibodies were detected also. We belive that these cases represent a vesicular form of bullous pemphigoid.

Immunofluorescent studies of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid.

Using direct and indirect immunofluorescent techniques, we studied ten patients with cicatricial pemphigoid (chronic cicatricial conjunctivitis). Serologic and histologic evaluation of 13 conjunctival, 12 mucous membrane, and 11 skin specimens from the ten patients showed that three had immunoglobulin deposition at the basement membrane zone of the conjunctiva. One patient had immunoglobulin deposited in the affected skin and oral mucosa. Two patients had circulating basement membrane zone antibodies that bound to their own tissue but not to guinea pig lip or human skin.
