Centralization CBUs hospital A and B

Hospital AHospital B
CentralizationIn both hospitals, the CBU leaders, together with (healthcare) professionals involved in the CBU, set condition-specific goals, analyze the care process in terms of outcomes and/or costs and initiate improvement efforts
Functional managers are responsible for decision-making, budgeting, staffing, and quality control within their departments. The approval and/or implementation of improvements proposed by a CBU that affect a given department rests with these functional managers
The distribution of management responsibilities for initiating, approving and implementing improvements across the CBUs and multiple functional managers seems to reflect centralization
