Is strategic planning associated with higher levels of performance in health care organizations? Is strategic planning effective? This article examines strategic planning's impact on rural hospital and rural nursing facility performance, organizational characteristics, and strategy. The findings suggest that strategic planning in rural hospitals is strongly associated with higher profits, operating margins and planning effectiveness, and associated to a lesser extent with lower costs and higher revenues per patient day. However, strategic planning does not appear to be associated with higher performance in nursing facilities. The implications for strategic planning in rural health care organizations are discussed.
战略规划与医疗保健组织的更高绩效水平相关联吗？战略规划有效吗？本文考察了战略规划对农村医院和农村护理机构的绩效、组织特征及战略的影响。研究结果表明，农村医院的战略规划与更高的利润、营业利润率及规划有效性密切相关，在较低程度上还与更低的成本及更高的每日每位患者收入相关。然而，战略规划似乎与护理机构的更高绩效并无关联。文中讨论了农村医疗保健组织战略规划的意义。
