Strategic planning remains an important and yet frequently used management tool. A sound strategic plan helps hospitals and systems cope with the variety of contingencies that arise in the dynamic healthcare environment. The author has said, "I'd like the book to encourage more health care organizations to carry out ongoing strategic planning, perform it more rigorously." Strategic planning can help you "plan amid the chaos" to position your organization for long-term success. This book outlines a proven strategic planning process, addresses special issues facing various types of healthcare organizations, and provides case studies that demonstrate how strategic planning can integrate financial and consumer analyses to guide an organization's future development. Amid the seeming chaos of healthcare today-intensified competition, radical shifts in economic incentives, regulatory changes, and eroding public trust-strategic planning is more critical than ever for long-term organization success. The stakes are high. Inadequate planning can result not just in reduced revenue or market share, but in closure. In Healthcare Strategic Planning, veteran consultant Alan M. Zuckerman offers healthcare executives step-by-step guidance for confronting today's pressures with a solid plan for the future. Alan Zuckerman, FAAHC, CHE, is a founding partner and director of Health Strategies & Solutions, Inc., a leading national healthcare consulting firm. Mr. Zuckerman has been a management consultant for 25 years, working exclusively for healthcare providers across the United States. With this guide recommended by ACHE, you will learn an approach to successful strategic planning during times of change, applicable methodologies, process considerations, and special issues facing various types of healthcare organizations.
