Medical care is an industry and private providers and hospitals are
the major service providers. They operate on business principles.
Hospitals are getting highly specialized and complex. The
diagnostics and therapeutics are technology intensive. Private
establishments have to compete with one another to remain in
business. They strive to induct the best talent and latest
technical know-how, resulting in ever-increasing costs to patients.
Patients, who pay high charges, demand quality as a matter of
right. To meet the challenge, hospitals are constrained to bring in
professionalism in their systems and services. They appoint
qualified professional managers to manage their clinics and
hospitals with a view to sparing health professionals to focus on
clinical care. Whether right or wrong, 'management' is often
associated with authority and power. As a result, the medical
professionals are reduced to secondary level in some organizations.
To retain commanding positions in medical organizations, it has
become necessary for the healthcare professionals to learn
'management', at least its basics. On the other hand, non-medical
managers while managing healthcare services do not get the required
cooperation from the medical professionals, as the latter are often
secretive and not willing to share medical knowledge. If medical
knowledge is demystified, non-medical managers can perform many
functions in healthcare organizations proficiently. Both medical
and non-medical managers can complement each other in providing
quality healthcare services. The book aims to orient clinicians
(including physicians and nurses) and other healthcare
professionals on the essentials of business management and to
familiarize them with management terms and jargon. They can learn
to be effective managers besides being health professionals.
Similarly, non- medical managers can get familiarized to nuances of
clinical care and special managerial requirements of healthcare
facilities. They all will be able to relate processes in healthcare
settings with the concepts of business management. They can develop
expertise on patient relationship management
