Designing 21st Century Healthcare: Leadership in Hospitals
Author: John R. Griffith
Three integrated health care delivery systems—Moses Cone Health System, Greensboro, North Carolina; Legacy Health System, Portland, Oregon; and Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, Michigan—are used by Professor Griffith to analyze five common strategic dimensions that he believes are critical for success. Attention must be paid, he says to issues of value, clinical improvement techniques, arising physician organizations, organizational diversity and community outreach, and development of strategic plans. There are various ways in which to approach analysis and design of responses to the five dimensions, and the Professor explores them thoroughly. 279 Pages © 1998
