Excellence in Health Care Management

This book is a real-world critique of the ideologies and theories of health care management as applied to today's practice. Central issues such as people management and workplace education are approached from contemporary, theoretical and practical perspectives. Concepts of training, quality, finance, information and transition management are considered in detail with a strong emphasis on inter-professional working. Excellence in Health Care Management will appeal to students studying general management courses as well as human resource managers, health professionals, and management trainees.
