Viability and Hospital Failure: Methodological Considerations and Empirical Evidence

RESUMO

The value and feasibility of utilizing viability as a dependent variable in hospital organizational research are demonstrated in a study of a sample of U.S. hospitals that failed in 1969. The 23 failed study hospitals and a set of matched nonfailed hospitals are compared, on the basis of 14 institutional characteristics for which data are available, in a two-phase multiple-regression analysis, with organizational viability, the dependent variable, specified as a dummy variable. The application to other health services research areas is discussed.
