Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel concept for supporting the strategic planning process (SPP) in acute care hospitals.
- To highlight the importance of strategic planning in the context of evolving healthcare reimbursement.
Main Methods:
- This article presents a conceptual framework.
- It discusses the application of a new approach to strategic planning.
Main Results:
