Full Description
This book provides the core knowledge that all doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and non-clinical leaders and managers at all levels should have at their fingertips, to plan and execute both large scale and continuous incremental improvement.
The contributors of this book collectively cover the motivational aspects for such improvements as well as the core frameworks and techniques that are proven to be effective in the world's best healthcare organisations, as well as in other industries. The book is rich with examples and case studies, with a focus on 'What works' in healthcare organisational improvement and how it can be executed effectively. Most of the book's contributors are senior practitioners who have first-hand experiences of leading healthcare transformation projects, and can speak to how constraints can be overcome to provide real gains.
Focusing on improving organizational leadership, management, and systems, this book will be of great interest to clinical leaders, medical colleges and healthcare associations.
