Neurosurg Focus. 2002 Apr 15;12(4):e7. doi: 10.3171/foc.2002.12.4.8.

Abstract

Patients expect and deserve quality medical care. Physicians, by nature, want what is best for their patients. With the advent of specialty hospitals, physicians can own, run, and control a superior center designed to deliver the highest quality health care. Neurosurgeons who manage their own hospital may set the standards for medical excellence, with patient satisfaction as their primary focus.
