Until now, research has given us only a limited understanding of
how managers actually make sense of and apply management knowledge;
how networks of interaction amongst managers help or hinder
processes of knowledge diffusion and the sharing of best practice;
and how these processes are all influenced both by the
organisations in which managers act and by the professional
communities of practice they belong to. Managing Modern Healthcare
fills these important gaps in our understanding by drawing upon an
in-depth study of management networks and practice in three
healthcare organisations in the UK. It draws from the primary
research a number of important and grounded lessons about how
management networks develop and influence the spread of management
knowledge and practice; how management training and development
relates to the needs of managers facing challenging conditions; and
how those conditions are themselves shaping the nature of
management in healthcare. This book reveals how managers in
practice are responding to the many contemporary challenges facing
healthcare (and the NHS in particular) and how they are able or not
to effectively exploit sources of knowledge, learning and best
practice through the networks of practice they engage in to improve
healthcare delivery and healthcare organisational performance.
Managing Modern Healthcare makes a number of important theoretical
contributions as well as practical recommendations. The theoretical
and empirical contributions the book makes relate to wider work on
networks and networking, management knowledge, situated
learning/communities of practice, professionalization/professional
identity and healthcare management more generally. The practical
contribution comes in the form of recommendations for healthcare
management practitioners and policy makers that are intended to
impact upon and help enhance healthcare management delivery and
performance.
