Board backs community benefit study in Connecticut
Article Abstract:
Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, CT, conducted a four-part survey of its community benefits. The survey included focus groups, a self-evaluation from the board, a community benefit survey distributed to patients and hospital staff and a community problems survey sent to local residents. The results were used to identify and target area health problems such as Lyme disease. In addition, the hospital used the results to plan community programs such as a county-wide health task force and to develop a list of hospital-sponsored community benefit activities.

Dynamic pay initiatives
Article Abstract:
The 1993 Hay Hospital Compensation Survey shows that hospital compensation patterns are changing. For example, more hospitals are using incentives linked to performance, although the use of such incentives in hospitals is generally less than in other industries. In addition, base pay is increasing at a slower rate than before, although executives still averaged increases of 7.6%.
