Description

A Road Map to the Future of Health Care Richard Coffey, Kate Fenner, and Sheryl Stogis bring together their years of experience to show how to avoid the most common problems on the journey toward integration. They offer an expanded view of the health and community services required of the emerging integrated health system. Using a powerful three-strategy plan, they outline a comprehensive, community-based approach to health promotion and maintenance that sustains and improves the health of all people in the communities served. With models, techniques, and practical tools, Virtually Integrated Health Systems Details a unique taxonomy of healthcare, health, and social services and shows how to assess your own, your potential partners', and even your competitors' scope of services Offers guidance and insights to address organizational issues of culture, leadership, and human resources Uses the criteria common to most external assessment and accreditation organizations to show how to make external expectations and evaluation criteria a vital part of the assessment process
