Description
This book aims to reveal how nursing executives, hospital administrators, and other health care managers can successfully implement the theory and practical skills of business management - and so better manage hospitals, improve decision-making, provide strategic leadership, and help their organization gain competitive advantage in today's changing environment. Experts in applying business strategies to health care explain why, what, and how business practices can be applied in health care. Drawing on their in-depth practical experience as consultants to hospitals nationwide - and on lessons from an innovative management programme for nurses - they describe how to increase the profitability of hospitals and promote long-term success while providing quality care. They also detail how sound management approaches can improve decision making about a range of real-life health care issues - from concerns about hospital occupancy rates, revenues, and capital requirements to questions about expanding services and planning for the future.
