Essentials of Healthcare Strategy and Performance Management (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Essentials of Healthcare Strategy and Performance Management explores the most critical components of business strategy and performance management for modern healthcare organizations. Using pragmatic and real-world evidence, this book provides essential briefings on key topics that every current or aspiring leader needs to know in order to better manage strategy and achieve improved performance in their hospital or health system.

Leaders and students of healthcare organizations should be asking themselves one thing in these financially challenging times: how can we maintain a strategic and competitive advantage over other facilities in their market? Healthcare organizations have faced extremely poor financial performance in recent years, with data suggesting that up to 10% of hospitals will go bankrupt or face closure within the next 10 years. Little pragmatic evidence exists to offer insights into how better strategy and performance improvement can offer significant opportunities for change and improvement in their overall performance. A specific focus in the book will include guidelines and implementation practices for some of the most important quality improvement processes in use, including Lean and Six Sigma. Defining new strategic plans and actions, implementation, and then improvement of those actions, will also be covered.
