From the Paper:

"The strengths that exist were identified in the work: CFAR Briefing Papers (1996) specifically those of uncomplicated integration in financial management, management of human resources, culture, strategic planning, and resource allocation. The primary weakness of the organization is in their lack of ability of meeting the demands for healthcare provision of an ever-growing under- and uninsured group of individuals. Other weaknesses are in the areas identified in the CFAR Briefing Papers (1996) as being the hardest for the organization to integrate which are the areas of: Physician, support services, information systems, clinical integration, marketing, and quality assurance."
