The final chapter features
a real-life example of the use of the seven-step

Mary Ann Crawford, Ph.D., R.N., is
President of the Transitions Division of DMI. Dr. Crawford's
consulting practice focuses on operations, including implementing
new clinical services; department turnarounds to reduce costs; and
providing interim management support with hands-on assistance. Health Administration Press is a division of the Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE).
