- Summary:
- This is a study of the structural interests involved in a merger among three hospitals within Northeastern Pennsylvania. The study reviews the role of the local Health Systems Agency in providing the forum for a protacted dispute involving the original approval of the merger a dispute which ultimately involved the medical societies of two counties and of Pennsylvania and all of the hospitals within the region of interest. The study concludes that there are basic tensions between two movements of health care reform evidenced in the case: the market reformers and the bureaucratic reformers. These movements are part of a larger context of reform nationally.
