This popular book is written by leading experts in the field and
covers all the key aspects of healthcare management. Written with
healthcare managers, professionals and students in mind, it
provides an accessible and evidence-based guide to healthcare
systems, services, organizations and management. Key areas covered

care, chronic disease and integrated care * Allocating resources

This third edition has been significantly rewritten, with 10 new
contributors and a new chapter structure designed to better support
learning, practical application and further study. In addition,
there is a more international focus and each chapter includes new
case studies giving global examples of health systems and services,
new and updated learning activities to encourage application to
your own organization, and a range of links to useful online
resources. Healthcare Management is essential research-based
reading for students, teachers and healthcare professionals
involved in management, research and health policy making. "Walshe
and Smith have assembled an invaluable introduction to healthcare
management and health systems. With their fellow authors, they
provide a comprehensive review of a range of issues related to the
funding and provision of care, and how services are organised and
managed. Now in its third edition, Healthcare Management has been
updated and revised to meet the needs of teachers and students
alike." Professor Chris Ham, Chief Executive, The King's Fund, UK
"This book covers the main areas of knowledge which managers need,
and gives tools for thinking and empirical examples relevant to
current challenges. Evidence based management might not always be
possible, but this book gives a way for a manager to become
research-informed and therefore more effective. This third edition
of the book is even more relevant internationally and improved to
help readers apply the ideas to their situation." Professor John
Ovretveit, Director of Research, LIME/MMC, The Karolinska
Institute, Sweden "No-one learns to be a manager in a classroom or
from a book, but books that take this disclaimer as their starting
point are indispensable. Walshe and Smith (and their fellow
authors) invite their audience (healthcare managers, healthcare
policy makers and postgraduate students, taking courses in
healthcare management) to critically combine experiential learning
with academic learning and to acquire knowledge from both practice
and theory. By doing so, they have found the third way between the
advocates of evidence-based management and their criticasters." Dr.
Jan-Kees Helderman, Associate Professor in Public Administration,
Institute for Management Research, Radboud University, Nijmegen,
the Netherlands
