Management: A Quantitative Approach to Business and Logistics Hardcover: 438 pages
Hospitals are large and complex organizations, yet
they function largely without sophistication and technology inherent
in other large businesses. In a time when well over half of all
hospitals report negative operating margins, driving down costs by
achieving operational excellence is one of the most important yet
overlooked areas. It covers everything from hospital finances to project management, patient flows, performance management, process improvement, and supply chain management. It is written to balance theoretical and practical perspectives, by an author who has served both in senior-level management positions in large health systems, as well as extensive university research on the topic. Topics covered include:
