Mick and Wyttenbach (both affiliated with Virginia Commonwealth U.) present 12 essays, largely penned by North American academics, which explore a range of issues related to health care organizations. The papers approach different issues from a variety of perspectives, discussing such issues as institutional and market relationships, the operation of hospitals by the Catholic Church, physician-organization relationships, quality as an organizational problem, and strategy in the institutional environment.
