Synopsis

Our Elgar Concise Introductions are inspiring and considered. They explain the key principles in business and social science and are expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars. The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential concepts and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking.

This insightful Concise Introduction explores the key lessons that can be drawn from the US healthcare ecosystem and examines how they apply to healthcare management. Lawton Robert Burns identifies the complex conundrums that face healthcare management, providing insight into the factors causing these problems and highlighting potential solutions.

• Applies practical experience alongside rigorous literature analysis
• Assesses the healthcare system through physiology and behaviours
• Proposes core skills to develop in order to aid management of problems, change, processes, cost, and quality
• Investigates the central relationships in healthcare that impact patient outcome and firm success, such as doctor-patient dynamics
• Critiques preconceived notions that new technology and AI are the solution to healthcare’s problems, instead underscoring the importance of integration

The Concise Introduction to Healthcare Management is a valuable resource for scholars and students of healthcare administration, human resource management, and business and management. It will also benefit practitioners in healthcare management and public health looking to promote efficiency and effectiveness in their workplaces.
