Eichmann TL, Santerre RE. Do hospital chief executive officers extract rents from Certificate of Need laws? J Health Care Finance 2011; 37:1-14.

Abstract
Prior research suggests that Certificate of Need (CON) laws reduce competition in the hospital services industry. As a result, this study empirically investigates if not-for-profit hospital chief executive officers (CEOs) are able to extract rents from CON laws in the form of higher compensation. A sample of 256 not-for-profit hospital CEOs in states with and without CON laws and data for 2007 are used in the empirical analysis. The study considers the endogenous nature of a CON law and allows such a law to indirectly affect CEO compensation through its impact on the number of hospitals and beds. The multiple regression results indicate that special and public interests both motivate the decision of a state to maintain a CON law. CON laws are shown to reduce the number of beds at the typical hospital by 12 percent, on average, and the number of hospitals per 100,000 persons by 48 percent. These reductions ultimately lead urban hospital CEOs in states with CON laws to extract economic rents of $91,000 annually.

Abstract
The conviction of two former Roger Williams Medical Center executives in Rhode Island is sure to keep up the heat for more vigorous oversight of hospitals. Robert Urciuoli and Frances Driscoll were both convicted of fraud. "It's not to say that directors should be running these organizations," says attorney Patrick Coffey, left. "But it is their function to hire qualified people (who) won't ever tarnish the reputation of their institution".

Abstract
The jury ruled that Richard Scrushy is not guilty. So now HealthSouth's deposed leader wants to reclaim the company he founded, even if current management and investors don't want him. "I have a hard time believing he's going to get back in there," says Larry Scanlan, left, of Navigant Consulting. Others are more blunt: "We have less than zero support for his return," says a principal at the largest single owner of HealthSouth shares.

Chuck Grassley, left, says the Iowa lawmaker hopes to introduce legislation on the matter soon.

With the trial of Richard Scrushy, left, finally under way in Alabama, it isn't just the former HealthSouth executive being scrutinized. It's the first courtroom test for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which holds CEOs accountable for false financial statements. Scrushy's defense attorneys have already begun laying the groundwork to blame underlings for the 2.64 billion dollar accounting fraud.

Abstract
In the wake of the patient safety movement, there is a glaring disconnect between the increasing responsibilities placed on hospital board members and the limited accountability for those board members if they fail to meet their responsibilities. This Article discusses how the effectiveness of new patient safety laws is diminished by the lack of accountability of nonprofit board members. The Article suggests that an expanded notion of corporatefiduciary duties, enhanced by shifts in social norms, would contribute to patient safety reform.
