Local and national market forces of decreasing inpatient utilization and increasing costs paved the way for a major merger involving five hospitals and one home health agency in Portland, Oregon. The result: a health care delivery system that merged corporate cultures, eliminated duplicity, integrated medical and administrative staffs, realized cost containment savings, and effectively responded to market trends toward reform.
当地和全国范围内住院使用率下降以及成本上升的市场力量，为俄勒冈州波特兰市涉及五家医院和一家家庭健康机构的重大合并铺平了道路。结果是：一个整合了企业文化、消除了重复、整合了医疗和行政人员、实现了成本节约并有效应对改革市场趋势的医疗服务提供系统。
