Hospitals are under more pressure than ever. Demand keeps rising while budgets, beds and staff stay stretched. Leading Improvements and Organizational Excellence in Hospitals, edited by Professor Danny Samson of the University of Melbourne and published by Routledge, brings together senior healthcare leaders and researchers to show what actually works when improving hospital performance.
Bevington Partners is proud to have contributed a chapter on how hospitals can manage their operational processes for lasting improvement.
About The Book
Written for doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and non-clinical leaders, the book covers the frameworks and techniques behind both large-scale transformation and continuous improvement in healthcare. Most contributors are senior practitioners who have led hospital improvement programs themselves, so the focus stays firmly on what can be executed in a real hospital.
Across six parts it covers clinical governance and leadership, organisational culture, hospital systems and processes plus innovation and technology, finishing with frameworks for building organisational excellence.
“…the knowledge required to improve healthcare organisations, including their safety, quality, productivity and service levels.”
– Erwin Loh, President, Royal Australasian College of Medical Administrators
