Every organization has systems that can be improved. The system-by-system diagnosis and prescriptions in the Maximizing Performance Management Series will improve the performance of your practice.

 

In this book, Aligning the Team with Practice Goals: A How-To Guide for Medical Practices, the first in the series, the author:

  • Explains how to develop the vision, mission, values, norms, and short- and long-term goals for your practice

  • Describes how to accomplish strategic planning, including the new model of appreciative inquiry

  • Demonstrates how to set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, results-oriented, and time-bound) for each department and how to strategically link each goal to the overall medical practice goals

  • Shows manager to cascade the goals developed from the mission throughout the organization and into the individual employee performance plans

The accompanying CD includes many useful resources and tools, including procedures for managing conflict, guidelines for customer service quality standards, policies for employee discipline, and employment process checklists. Also included are several case studies that demonstrate excellence in efforts to align employee performance with organizational goals.

 

The bottom line is that this comprehensive, results-oriented book provides a road map and prescriptions to take you and your medical practice to the next level and beyond. Whether you want to fine-tune your practice or manage a complete overhaul of the entire operation, this book provides the answers you need to align the performance of your team with your practice goals.
