Transforming Health Care: Action Strategies for Health Care Leaders (J-B AHA Press)

Transforming Health Care offers a groundbreaking two-part model to help leaders find and achieve that delicate, dynamic balance between business performance and the mission of patient care, and then gain the momentum they need to take critical steps toward innovation, excellence, and effective strategic implementation.

The first part is a review of what works (and what doesn't) in the drive to deliver excellence for both patients and performance. The second is a user's guide to the specific behaviors that define and characterize a true health care leader now and in the future.

• Readers will find chapters focusing on:
• Market leadership and the dual importance of strategic clarity and decisive implementation
• How to identify and correct misalignment between strategy and organizational design
• Strategies for dramatically improving both clinical outcomes and business results
• Models and action strategies for challenging people to be their best in a constantly changing workplace

  Transforming Health Care offers both the strategies, systems and structures that work, as well as the key leadership actions and behaviors that propel effective implementation. Without this alignment of "what" and "how," health care leaders will never achieve the results their patients or the marketplace expect or demand.
