The Texas Hospital Association's (THA's) nearly 600 member hospitals in 1977 formed a statewide productivity center in response to rising labor costs, excess services and beds, uneven personnel allocation, activity duplication, and delinquent accounts. By developing and applying scientific standards formulas, and programs difficult for individual hospitals to implement, the center has increased productivity and cut costs.
1977年，得克萨斯州医院协会（THA）的近600家会员医院成立了一个全州范围的生产力中心，以应对劳动力成本上升、服务和床位过剩、人员分配不均、活动重复以及欠费等问题。通过制定和应用科学标准公式以及各医院单独实施起来有困难的方案，该中心提高了生产力并降低了成本。
