One of the major reasons that could have led to this structure is its flexibility to large organizations. Each department is run independently, allowing them to make decisions that meet their existing needs and those of their patients. The structure also allows for quick changes in the organization in response to external or internal trends like market forces. A divisional structure promotes autonomy, independence, and a customized approach (Benzer et al., 2017). Decision-making is faster because there is minimal red tape or bureaucracy.
