More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Praise for the first edition:
"The book's major strength is that it allows the author, Carolyn Semple Piggot, to use a very accessible style, without a great burden of academic theory or case studies. What theory it does contain is expertly used to provide a rationale for the service she cites...The book is an excellent tool for any clinician or junior manager to prepare a business plan. Both would gain knowledge and understanding without excessive effort." Health Service Journal
The revised and updated edition of this bestselling book is both practical and topical. It addresses planning strategies that will work for healthcare organisations. The advice and practical aids are designed to help readers with easy-to-find answers to common planning questions. The careful use of theory provides a rationale for the services cited to help the reader understand the limits of the advice and when it is necessary to seek expert help. A particularly good example of this is seen in chapter five in which an asthma study is used to illustrate how business planning issues arise from clinical issues.
Pragmatic in its approach, the book will prove both interesting and useful to hospital managers, clinical practitioners and others new to management.

Business Planning for Healthcare Management
7 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
Business Planning for Healthcare Management by Carolyn Semple Piggot, a British author and pharmacist and Editorial Director at a healthcare consultancy, provides basic concepts of healthcare management which is today becoming a more and more demanding field in most of the healthcare systems. It offers tips, basic and practical and conceptual skills (providing many questions to ponder upon) not only to professionals in the health services but also to junior managers who are tempted to take part of the new and future structure of health care administration / organization and its functions.
Furthermore, the book helps to focus on the efficient health care delivery. It covers the development of leadership skills, future trends in healthcare management and guidelines of designing effective work groups through nine chapters revealing what planning is in a healthcare system, the planning process itself, the challenges of implementation, the evaluation process, the planning for health improvement, the joint planning and collaboration with social services, the management of shareholders, the plans for change and finally the role of the Board.
