Research in healthcare operations has grown in interest and importance over the last decade, as the healthcare environment continues to become more complex and challenging. This study investigates the relationships among organizational culture, knowledge management, and patient safety performance. Drawing on existing literature, the authors develop and test a model for patient safety performance using data from a nationwide survey of more than 200 hospitals. Structural equation modeling is used to provide empirical support for the model. In particular, they find that different dimensions of organizational culture are related to more effective knowledge management, which in turn is associated with better patient safety performance. The authors conclude by discussing the major implication...

In this Article I examine “medical tourism”—the travel of patients who are residents of one country to another country for medical treatment—which is fast becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. To date, the primary U.S. medical tourists appear to have been uninsured or underinsured Americans seeking substantial cost savings by traveling to less developed countries for care. More recently, state governments, self-insured firms, Fortune 500 companies, and domestic insurers have begun attempts to get their insured populations to use medical tourism as well by requiring it or giving incentives for its use (what I call “insurer-prompted medical tourism”). There is, however, a dark side to the growth of this industry. In this Article I set out...
