Mission, management, and margins: winning hospitals tell their success stories. 1991 Hospital Turnaround of the Year Contest.

What makes for a successful hospital turnaround? The answers are a lot more than just financial in nature. To underscore the point, the winners and finalists in the first Hospital Turnaround of the Year Contest, sponsored by Hospitals and Coopers & Lybrand, offer a diversity of solutions. Institutions of all bed sizes, from all areas of the country, and of all different types have proven that turning a hospital around requires the input and collaboration of every sector of the hospital and strong leadership from top management.
