It is essential from an organizational standpoint that one individual be assigned the responsibility for the efficient management of all leased property. Although the amount of revenue generated from leases is small relative to that of the hospital, the amount of profit may be proportionally larger. Unless one person can be held accountable for the entire operation, individual functions become the responsibility of various administrators whose first concerns may be directed toward the hospital as opposed to the office buildings. When responsibility becomes fragmented, coordination and follow-up often quickly break down, and operating efficiency and profitability may soon decline.
