Mastering Physician-Administrator Collaboration Softbound: 80 pages
If you are like most healthcare professionals, you have first-hand experience of the culture clashes that can occur between physicians and administrators. “This book is a refreshingly salient overview of the key issues that can divide physicians and executives. It is extremely respectful of the cultures and backgrounds of both the administrative and clinical sides of the house, and it points out the common ground that will allow both groups to form alliances. Dr. Cohn offers succinct case illustrations that highlight key points and drive home the most important take-home messages. Most importantly, he offers real strategies to achieving the goal of collaboration. It is a tightly written and outstanding book for anyone who would benefit from a unified framework.” —Eric Manheimer, M.D., medical director, Bellevue Hospital, New York, NY Better Communication for Better Care
provides fresh tools and ideas for overcoming the training, outlook,
and culture issues that have plagued physician-administrator
relationships. Conflict is
inevitable in rapidly changing environments. This book will help you
rise above frustrations by using open and productive communication.
It presents practical strategies for making dialogue a high priority
and working closely together toward a common purpose. Administrators, physician executives, department leaders and trustees are buying this book in quantity. It serves as a guide for improving or strengthening physician-administrator relationships, even when only one side of the equation is motivated seek solutions. "This book will help physicians and executives see that they have common interests that are obscured by current methods, habits, behaviors, and systems of work. We do not need another book to tell us what to do, because we all know what to do. The great benefit of Dr. Cohn’s book is that he describes how to do it. He outlines a simple, straightforward approach to collaboration. This is an important book!” —John W. Kenagy, M.D., director, Kenagy & Associates, LLC, Cambridge, MA “One of the highest priorities for healthcare leaders is enhancing physician and hospital integration. Recognizing the inherent differences between physicians and executives, Dr. Cohn clearly outlines specific tools and methodologies for building stronger relationships. This book includes vibrant discussions based on personal experience on such topics as the competing physician, the need for structured dialogue, and the consequences of workplace burnout. This is a must-read book for both physicians and administrators who share the responsibility of improving care for their patients.” —Thomas C.
