The Hospital "Dumping Syndrome": Causes and Treatment
Abstract
The authors describe a network of factors that produce and perpetuate the dumping of patients by the local hospital on the slate hospital system. A change in policy, placing local and state wards under the same administrative authority, alters the feedback process and reduces dumping. This improvement may be achieved not by adding resources but by understanding and by altering the structure of the current system.
