Articles
Files are organized by major subject area. Don't forget to look at our collection of monthly Health Executive columns in Rants/Opinions. These work really well in our Biz Builder Idea below:
Biz Builder Idea: Select 12 articles, book chapters, readings, and then send out one each month to your mangement team with a preface from one of your executives, or use them as a topic of conversation at staff meetings. "Where don't we measure up? What do we need to change?" Instant team development value at virtually no cost. Remember, you have to get people talking the management game—they have to talk the talk before they can walk the walk
Situation Analysis: Are you satisfied with organizational performance? Want to identify factors affecting performance?
Business Model: The New American Hospital parallels organization elements found in the most successful organizations. This prescriptive profile has been widely used in producing best performing hospitals.
