 Positive physician–hospital relationships were reflected in the post-World War II metaphor of the American hospital as a "stool with three strong legs." In terms of the metaphor, hospitals were effective because they were supported by three strong legs:

  1. A strong medical staff
  2. A good board
  3. An effective management team
