Foreword
Effective learning occurs when students are engaged and inspired. Effective teaching creates the environment for engagement and inspiring thought. Introduction to Health Care Management, fourth edition, is a comprehensive text that covers essential content material and provides an extensive variety of cases to stimulate thought. The revisions in this edition are timely and extend the learning that is possible about the health care industry. Students and instructors will benefit from the expertise shared in this text.
Health care is complex, and management of its delivery entails a breadth and depth of knowledge, skill, and ability. The responsibility of implementing service, coordinating those providing it, and ensuring the quality of care is the mantle of the health care manager. It is imperative that both the clinical and business aspects of service and patient care are understood and closely monitored. Leaders rely on the knowledge and skill of competent managers to make informed decisions. Management requires a deep understanding of multiple functions and processes while also leading people from a variety of disciplines in a multitude of roles.

Mentorship of managers is part of the developmental process of leaders. A good foundation for health care management is the start of lifelong learning and career development.
The knowledge of management science with an interdisciplinary foundation is needed to succeed in the ever-changing health care industry. The demand for health care coverage is constantly in the news. Working with teams of professionals to provide quality care that is cost-effective is an ongoing challenge for health care managers. This text lays the groundwork of a health care management curriculum; other courses may add depth and can benefit from the breadth of the cases in this text.
Population health, community well-being, and medical care delivery are growing fields where excellent management makes a difference. Management responsibility of care extends outside the walls of an organization. One is now managing the health of the population they serve. The continuum of care includes collaboration across various service modalities. This text is not just hospital-based and includes settings that span the continuum of care. The span of specialty care from obstetrics to gerontology takes coordination to ensure that it is safe, timely, efficient, effective, equitable, and patient-centered, the aims of the Institute of Medicine. The aging of a population that wants to remain independent is changing all aspects of health care, especially long-term care. From pre-conception and birth to end of life and death, health care management is all-encompassing.

To be successful as a manager one needs to focus on creating the right culture. In an environment of new, disruptive technologies, communication is critically important for people to keep learning and experimenting with new knowledge, products, and processes. Keeping up with a culture of change and innovation while building on a traditional foundation takes skill and diligence. In addition, disparities that exist must be acknowledged and addressed. The new edition of this text incorporates information management that will help to invest in culture. Good, constant, and credible communication takes skilled managers to accomplish. A positive and productive culture is dependent on open and transparent communication.
A manager needs to be prepared for any eventuality. Planning for disasters and emergencies is much more than fire or air raid drills or having an evacuation plan. Extreme weather, mass shootings, chemical and biological exposures, infectious disease outbreaks, and ED diversion, for example, are all too common occurrences. Communities and health care institutions are more vulnerable when panic or chaos is the initial reaction. Plans that are known, practiced, and updated are the hallmark of a well-positioned organization if or when the no longer unexpected happens. The new edition of this text helps instructors further develop student competence in strategy and planning.
The text is already a classic and serves as a reference for many who learned from early editions. It is a resource for faculty as well as a foundational text for practitioners transitioning to supervisory roles. Each
1114237 - Jones & Bartlett Learning ©
new edition builds on the prior and is improved with new contributions.
Exceptional management is all about being able to tell stories. A story engages, and to be memorable is inspirational. The authors of this text are master story crafters. Drs. Buchbinder, Shanks, and Kite and their contributors have woven together a comprehensive yet concise guidebook for an entry level manager. Whether new to health care, or an experienced clinician transitioning to management, the content is clear, and the stories resonate. This text is so readable because it tells stories and urges the reader to solve cases with the intent to teach the learner to create their own stories by managing complex situations.
When the last page is read, and the cover is closed—or the eBook is shut down—the theories and cases within will serve as the underpinning for the stories to be told by the next generation of health care managers.
