<div>An organization may know its current situation down to the last pack of gauze or vial of insulin--but does it know what's in its future? Successful healthcare strategic planning not only needs to measure how well a hospital or health system is currently performing but also must anticipate what lies ahead. Essentials of Strategic Planning in Healthcare is a complete guide to developing and implementing a strategic plan. Starting with an examination of leadership's role in strategic planning and the impact of organizational culture, the book then explores the essential techniques, tools, and data for developing a strategic plan and recommends strategic planning initiatives across the continuum of healthcare services. Taking a futurist perspective, author Jeffrey P. Harrison acknowledges the constant changes in regulatory and quality requirements and the evolving healthcare innovations that strategic planning must consider. A comprehensive case study woven throughout the book allows readers to assume the role of strategic planners and apply what they are learning to the entire strategic planning process. This revised edition includes insight into the modern healthcare system and an exploration of trends in mergers and acquisitions, system growth, and value-based care. Additional updates include: current data on healthcare spending, hospital statistics, healthcare employment, and the use of healthcare technology; new content on the use of artificial intelligence and big data in healthcare, as well as the benefits of block chain technology; coverage of future advances in healthcare, including genomics and Medicare for All; and expanded marketing content, including the latest trends in websites, digital outlets, and social media. In addition to study questions and practical exercises in each chapter that are linked to the book's case study, this edition also offers online exercises to expand students' learning. Incorporating the latest developments with best practices, this book aims to be the primary resource for university courses in healthcare strategic planning.</div>

A comprehensive case at the end of the book draws on information presented throughout the chapters to help readers apply their newfound financial skills to real-world healthcare scenarios. This heavily revised edition features current data and updated content on economics, financial accounting, laws, and regulations.

COVID-19 triggered broad discussions of population health, epidemiology, and public health, not only in academic communities but also in society at large. Although masks, social distancing, and vaccines helped curb its spread, the novel coronavirus will clearly not be the last infectious disease that tests our preparedness. Healthcare professionals must continue to collaborate and implement new strategies to mitigate future crises. Population Health, Epidemiology, and Public Health: Management Skills for Creating Healthy Communities presents the principles and tools that administrators and practitioners need to monitor, assess, and manage the health of populations in challenging times. Although public health catastrophes can and will change over time, the key concepts and evidence-based lessons detailed in this book are both timeless and essential. Author Rosemary M. Caron uses real-world case studies and examples to teach unique and innovative approaches to population health improvement. This significantly updated edition includes five new chapters on the social determinants of health, disease prevention strategies, the value of a systems-thinking methodology, and the application of population health principles during the COVID-19 pandemic. Other new content in this edition includes: current public health initiatives, including Healthy People 2030; discussions on ethical conduct in research; up-to-date epidemiological case studies on Salmonella, Zika virus, measles, and COVID-19; approaches to population health, such as community health needs assessments and Health in All Policies; and exercises that draw on data sources. Each chapter concludes with discussion prompts and key points to reinforce readers' understanding of the concepts presented. Healthcare managers who are armed with the foundational principles described in this book will help their organizations take greater strides toward building healthier communities and facing future crises head-on. &nbsp;

The ethical issues that arise in healthcare organizations are not limited to decisions made by clinicians. Everyday operational decisions made by healthcare managers also have weighty ethical implications. Ethics and Professionalism for Healthcare Managers prepares readers to recognize and respond to the ethical dilemmas they will encounter on a regular basis during their career in healthcare management. Through cases, exercises, and self-quizzes, readers can apply the theories and tools presented in the text to actual situations they may find themselves facing. This updated second edition contains a new chapter on health policy, health disparities, and ethics that focuses on the interrelationships of cost, quality, and access. The chapter on ethical decision-making has also been extensively revised to include discussion of moral distress, expanded coverage of medical futility, and an introduction to the precautionary principle. Throughout, the book's cases and examples have been updated to reflect current, real-world ethical issues in healthcare management. Other new content in this edition covers: <ul> <li>Moral engagement, moral disengagement, and the concept of moral courage</li> <li>The five Cs (competence, consent, confidentiality, crossing boundaries, and culture)</li> <li>Ethical implications of current health informatics, including electronic health records and the exchange of health information</li> <li>Continuous review and supervision of research integrity</li> <li>Ethical operations management during the COVID-19 pandemic</li> </ul> Also new to this edition, chapters are grouped into three overarching themes--ethics and the profession of healthcare management, ethical decision-making, and ethical applications. Each section is introduced by an AMA Journal of Ethics case study that sets the stage for the chapters that follow. Managers working in healthcare's many settings are frequently tasked with addressing ethical dilemmas. This book provides a practical framework for confronting and resolving ethical conflicts throughout a healthcare organization.
