Nucl. Med. Rev 2004;7(2):103-105.
Abstract
The future of hospital Nuclear Medicine is triggered by the hospital
organisation itself. In general, the hospital organisation of
the present requires substantial changes in order to be competitive,
economical, and abreast of the rapid progresses in
medical developments and patient management. It also must
be flexible to changes in health politics. In this special report an
organisational hospital structure is outlined which may help
encounter the challenging hospital future. Some hospitals have
already implemented convincing changes, whereas others are
far behind.
