Budgetary control of hospitals - ritual rhetorics and rationalized myths?

Article Abstract:

Budgetary control of hospitals is possible by integrating the action-system and the decision-system. This means that there should be an integration of the plans and actions. To do so, the logic of the action-system as represented by the service-providers, including physicians and nurses, and the logic of the decision-system as represented by politicians and administrators should be linked via communicative action. Therefore, the quality of the budget as an instrument for management control is influenced by the communicative action during the budgetary process.
