Book Description

The US healthcare delivery system is undergoing unprecedented
transformation. In response to rapid and profound changes in technology,
competition, consumerism, and other areas, healthcare leaders must help their
organizations develop and implement effective strategies to survive and thrive.
This fourth edition of Healthcare Strategic Planning, edited by John M. Harris (and previously authored by Alan M. Zuckerman), provides
core insights into strategic planning practice and theory and shows how those
insights can be applied to healthcare organizations. Examples from actual healthcare
organizations add real-life detail and reinforcement. By following the book’s
step-by-step guide to the stages of strategic planning—analyzing the
environment, determining organizational direction, formulating strategies, and
transitioning to implementation—readers will learn how to answer the question
everyone in healthcare management is asking: Where are we going?
This new edition addresses strategic planning in the
context of contemporary healthcare issues, particularly population health,
value-based payment, and shifting provider–payer partnerships. It features the
following new or enhanced material and more:
- Fresh strategies for incorporating strategic thinking into management routines
- Expanded coverage of environmental analysis, including tips on organizing the data collection process and identifying market trends
- New strategy formulation examples that illustrate the relationship among between crucial issues, goals, and key metrics
- A step-by-step process for creating an effective implementation plan and guidance for gaining board approval
- New case studies that illustrate how successful organizations handle the annual strategic planning process
- A new chapter on addressing business model shifts and technological and clinical advances at each step of the planning process
