Healthcare organizations strive to keep pace with breakthroughs in
medical science and technology, transparency of service outcomes, an
educated customer base, global health threats, and federal regulations.
As these elements continue to evolve, organizations are tasked with
employing well-trained, dynamic healthcare managers to lead in a time of
perpetual transformation. Dunn & Haimann's Healthcare Management
provides a definitive overview of healthcare management, organized
around five primary functions: planning, organizing, staffing,
influencing, and controlling. The book ties these primary functions
together through clear explanations of management theories, tools, and
other foundational information. It also explores the role of
supervisors, behavioral factors, and generational stimuli that motivate
employees within the conceptual framework of managing. New features at
the end of most chapters, including additional readings, classroom
activities, and case study recommendations, reinforce the concepts
presented. A healthcare system will always be better positioned to grow
and adapt if its managers have mastered the primary functions covered in
this book.
