The circular organization plan allows for integration of all hospital employees and encourages managers to increase leadership within their department. One hospital used this approach to implement its mission of redesigned services, improved quality and integrated services, and a focus on health-care continuum. The circular structure is limited in its ability to create distinct reporting relationships between administration and department managers.
