| Summary: | The Handbook of Health Care Management is written by recognized experts in the field of health care management. The goal of the text is to provide a link between health care research, theory, and practice. Based on the most recent theory and research, the chapters are presented in a way that is meaningful and useful to health care decision makers. Readers may focus on managing relationships with stakeholders, customers, external environmental forces, and other organizations - as in the case of strategic alliances. To provide readers with the resources they will need to manage effectively, the text presents selected tools managers can use to improve organizational performance including: financial analysis, economics, information systems, marketing, and total quality management. Key organizational processes such as team building, change and innovation, visionary leadership, motivating performance, and designing health care organizations for the future are also covered. Special features: topics selected for inclusion were chosen by health care professionals and academics through a comprehensive survey; each chapter is written by an active researcher in the field; and each chapter represents the latest in academic research but is oriented toward applications rather than theory. |
