Making something happen the way it was planned to happen.
To have the ability or authority to direct someone or something.

The term used by the American Hospital Association (AHA) in its listing of hospitals in the Guide to the Health Care Field (AHA Guide) to indicate the kind of organization or institution responsible for operating the hospital. Some 24 categories are used. In the non-federal sector, the grouping is quite general, such as “church-operated” and “investor-owned (for-profit), partnership.” In the federal sector, however, classification is much more specific; for example “Army’ hospitals are separated from “Navy” hospitals.
In experimental design, standard used for comparison, as a placebo-receiving group of subjects in a drug-efficacy study.
The examination of subjects who have not undergone any form of treatment or have received a standard treatment serves as a reference point for evaluating those who have been exposed to experimental treatment, such as crop protection measures. The purpose of this is to perform a comparative analysis and determine the effectiveness of the experimental treatment in contrast to the control group.
