Developing and implementing strategy is one of the most challenging tasks for healthcare leaders, as it requires a wide range of skills and knowledge. Strategic Healthcare Management: Planning and Execution provides a thorough overview of strategic principles and the competencies needed to apply them, such as communication, decision making, positioning, goal setting, data analyses, project management, and financial analysis. The book emphasizes both competitive and collaborative strategies to help healthcare leaders further their organization's mission rather than merely outperform competitors.

The third edition includes more cases and expanded content. Two new chapters focus on the following subjects:

• The growing trend of healthcare data analytics, with emphasis on the importance of data-driven strategic analysis and the instruments used for extracting, manipulating, and visualizing data
• Project management principles to support strategy implementation, with an exploration of tools and techniques such as project charters, communication planning, scope definition, timelines, and Gantt charts.

Ten brand-new case studies have been added to this new edition. These scenarios highlight strategic issues healthcare professionals frequently face, including capitation and accountable care relationships, competitive positioning, alliance breakdowns, and vertical integration. End-of-chapter cases, examples, and assignments have also been updated. 

 

The fundamental concepts and theories of strategy, as well as the actual execution and assessment of strategic plans, are all covered in this book. Strategic Healthcare Management aims to provide readers with the theoretical foundation and hands-on experience they need to comprehend, apply, and assess strategies.
