Lab Management Decisions Under DRG's

[摘要] The change to a prospective payment system tor Medicare and Medicaid patients has forced hospital laboratories to adopt new management strategies. This paper examines those strategies and proposes that hospitals that are more stressed under the new payment system will adopt more of these strategies. Data is gathered through a survey of four hospitals in a local service area, and analyzed to test the hypotheses.
