Description and Table of Contents
Description
Based on the first national quantitative research study of its kind, this book outlines how to integrate quality health care, patient satisfaction, and bottom-line considerations. Lynne Cunningham shows administrators how to implement a system that satisfies both the patient's need for communication and caring and the physician's concern for high-quality clinical care - while having a positive financial impact on the hospital by reducing malpractice exposure. She offers specific advice on tracking and evaluating levels of quality, using quality as a positioning strategy, ensuring that the commitment to quality continues, and more.
