ABSTRACT
The article is the final installment in a three-part series describing the methods by which hospital trustees and CEO's may enable their facilities to address the health care demands of the 1990s. The first two articles appeared in CHA's Hospital Trustee in 1991. In this article, the authors identify and discuss the emerging intelligence tools which will help hospital trustees and CEO's make more effective management decisions.

The relationship between hospital and consultant can be productive only if the expectations of both parties are clearly understood at the outset. This article presents guidelines on getting the most from a consultant, from developing the objectives of the project, through drafting a request for proposal and interviewing candidates, to follow-up once the project has been completed.
