One of the enduring questions in health administration concerns the transferability of management expertise from industry to the health enterprise. Some observers hold that the efficiencies associated with industry reflect methods and skills that are widely applicable and somehow lacking in the health field. Thus, the task force responsible for this report was charged with studying the use of quantitative methods within the curriculum for health administrators. The specific charge of the task force was: (1) to examine the existing curriculum pattern; (2) to develop a concept of what exposure to the area is indicated; and (3) to develop materials that assist the graduate programs in teaching effectively in the curriculum area. This report suggests that quantitative methods, one of the key management skill areas, has been underrepresented in the curriculum in terms of potential value to health management. (Author/HS)
