Throughout its previous nine editions, the book has offered management fundamentals and theories, presenting them within the context of current healthcare delivery trends and scenarios for various settings. Students learn how to apply evidence-based practices that lead to high performance in healthcare organizations. Written in a more approachable tone, this extensively revised tenth edition describes the new standard of practice for many types of healthcare organizations (HCOs). Each chapter shares updated Practice Applications designed to promote active learning and highlight appropriate responses to common issues and challenges. The book...s choice of language has been updated to reflect current practice. In the final chapter, the authors address flashpoints and critical areas in which responsive leadership makes a difference. Successful HCOs must maintain a culture that empowers and supports each person and each team while improving work processes with measurement, benchmarks, process analysis, negotiated goals, and rewards. The Well-Managed Healthcare Organization offers foundational content and evidence-based practices for reaching excellence in quality, patient satisfaction, individual engagement, and sound financial performance. |
