Abstract
In the sometimes-harsh climate of competitive markets healthcare organizations have focused on taking practical measures to ensure their future. As in any attempt to anticipate the direction of change some measures have proved more effective than others but the attempts have all been necessary and have contributed to the healthcare industry’s foundation of shared knowledge and skills. The purpose of this chapter is to set forth considerations for strategic management in health care as we enter the next century and to suggest specific initiatives and techniques that we believe hold promise.
