As the health care industry is rocked by technological change, heightened competition, and skyrocketing costs, physicians and managers are finding it increasingly difficult to lead their institutions effectively. In this book, the authors examine the critical elements of managerial control - such as allocating resources, training, and monitoring performance - and they offer guidance for systematically applying these principles to the management of health care programmes.
