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.

Narrow 'safe harbors' may create tough choices for hospitals.

The release of the "safe harbors" regulations by the Department of Health and Human Services has left a variety of important issues unresolved. Health care attorneys and their clients are now poring over the new regulations, trying to determine, among other things, how much risk tolerance to accept in relation to the new restrictions, and what level and types of monitoring the federal government will apply. Ultimately, say many experts, the regulations could result in a strong trailoff in joint venture volume.

Objective measures prove value of risk management.

Risk managers now have data to prove the value of what they do: A new study shows that certain risk-management activities are associated with a lower number of claims against hospitals. And this year, risk managers' agendas are more crowded than ever before. They must comply with a host of new regulations mandated by the Patient Self-Determination Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Safe Medical Devices Act.

AIDS: debate on infection control guidelines shifts to Congress.

When Congress reconvenes this month, it will consider several bills aimed at protecting patients from AIDS. The American Hospital Association is supporting one requiring states to adopt the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control by regulation or legislation. But the Senate has also passed a punitive amendment, which many AIDS experts and providers oppose.

Restructuring care: patient focus is key to innovation.

Hospitals across the country are busy reconfiguring their delivery systems to improve patient care delivery. In the process, they are overhauling their organizational structures, reaching out to other institutions for input and participation, and embracing local communities. Many hospital executives are also finding that the path itself is at least as interesting and valuable as the end result.

The Medicaid maze: states and hospitals take new paths in search of funding.

No longer are health care providers simply warning state governments of impending Medicaid troubles. They now are actively pitching in to try to help find solutions to what has become a nationwide crisis. Federal mandates expanding Medicaid eligibility, an increase in unemployment and medical indigency, and providers' attempts to obtain equitable reimbursement are compelling state governments to get creative. It's none too soon: In FY 1990, states spent $662 billion more on Medicaid than they had originally budgeted, while federal and state Medicaid spending is expected to increase by 25 percent in FY 1991.
