2003 Commonwealth Fund International Health Policy Survey of Hospital Executives

The Commonwealth Fund 2003 International Health Policy Survey is the sixth in a series of surveys designed to provide a comparative perspective on health policy issues in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The 2003 survey consisted of interviews with a sample of hospital chief operating officers or top administrators of the larger hospitals across the five nations. The survey sought these executives' perspectives regarding current resources and efforts to improve quality of care. Comparative findings from the survey were reported in the May/June 2004 issue of Health Affairs.
