UVJYEK PECKSNIFF, FAMED KNWM_ U6M RIGHTS NXOCATE, In the red wrm CLIENT. .. Duke University Health System must rec­ ognize that unpleasant surprises, like budget shortfalls, come with expansion

I he Duke University Health System recently announced that Durham Regional Hospital—which it formed a partnership with last year—has incurred a $5 million deficit on last year's bud­ get. "Such a large amount, especially when DUHS had been expecting a $1.V2 millio n surplus, should be more than cause for alarm. It should be aget wake-u. Sue p call. Problems like Durham Regional's multi-million dollar shortfall are inevitable in the expanded Health System. As for-profit health care providers have expanded, non-profit academic health care centers such as Duke have had to operate as competitive businesses to ensure their survival. Such was the atmosphere when Durham Regional was pulled into the Health System. Almost anytime one business joins with another it assumes a high­ er degree of liability for doing so. This case is no different. Health care finances are notoriously fluid, and increasingly are dependent on a provider's relationships with powerful health maintenance organiza­ tions. Now that the Health System has a new chief financial officer in LETTERS TO THE EDITOR place, it must ameliorate the situation and ensure that similar accounting errors do not happen again. Even so, DUHS officials should expect and be able to react to unpleasant surprises in a positive way. So far they seem to have done Current world environment warrants involvement so by working closely with Durham Regional to reduce expenses and First Yugoslavia, then forced from their homes and adequately demonstrate that increase savings.
