Enhanced Physician Engagement, Volume 2: Tools and Tactics for Success
Successful physician engagement comes in many shapes and sizes. What works for one healthcare organization may not work for another. And with numerous differences among physicians in terms of age, specialty, work location and more, multiple approaches to enhancing engagement are needed. The key is exploring different strategies and finding the ones that work for you and your organization.
Enhanced Physician Engagement, Volume 2: Tools and Tactics for Success is a how-to guide for involving and inspiring physicians. The book examines concrete, practical methods for tackling hot-button issues such as burnout, the burden of electronic health records and accountability—factors that can cause disengagement. With more than 40 years of healthcare leadership and management experience, editor Carson F. Dye possesses unique expertise in getting physicians more engaged.

Strategic Allocation and Management of Capital in Healthcare: A Guide to Decision Making, Second Edition, provides leadership teams with detailed guidance for making strategic investment decisions. Employing corporate finance principles, this book explains how to establish a framework for standardized, portfolio-based review of capital investment opportunities; identify an organization’s capital constraint; assess and select the best value-enhancing projects; and manage post-allocation activities, including monitoring of project investments and measurement of results.
The Tracks We Leave: Ethics and Management Dilemmas in Healthcare, Third Edition
Ethical management in healthcare requires more than just a commitment to doing the right thing. It requires the ability to analyze highly complex situations in a volatile environment, to address the needs and concerns of patients and other stakeholders, to thoughtfully evaluate diverse courses of action and ultimately to choose the right path when the moral “rules” are not always clear.
The Tracks We Leave: Ethics and Management Dilemmas in Healthcare, now in its third edition, provides guidance for current and future healthcare managers as they confront the ethical challenges of their day-to-day work. Structured around a series of real-life cases, the book explores the ethical implications of such topics as medical errors and conflicts of interest.
