Sisters of Providence, a multi-hospital system in Seattle, Washington, uses a group consensus model in assessing the acquisition and implementation of major capital items. In technology acquisitions for diagnostic imaging, six clinical and administrative perspectives are brought to bear on the objectives. Mr. Dickson outlines the steps in this consensus model.

The plans showed little indication of services being organised around the priorities of the local health improvement programme.
