Healthy Business? Managerial Education and Management in Health Care
研究收集九国医院管理实践数据，发现靠近同时提供医学和商业教育的大学的医院，心脏病死亡率更低、管理更好、MBA经理更多，说明联合教育可能提升医院管理水平和临床效果。
We investigate the link between hospital performance and managerial education by collecting a large database of management practices and skills in hospitals across nine countries. We find that hospitals closer to universities offering both medical education and business education have lower mortality rates from acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks), better management practices, and more MBA-trained managers. This is true compared to the distance to universities that offer only business or medical education (or neither). We argue that supplying bundled medical and business education may be a channel through which universities improve management practices in hospitals and raise clinical performance.
