Reform legislation demands new and challenging changes to the way health
care organizations manage change at the project level. Health care
projects depend on astute management of change and leaders who know how
to launch projects that succeed. Launching
and Leading Change Initiatives in Health Care Organizations: Managing
Successful Projects (Wiley, May 2014; $45.00) is
a practical, hands-on book that speaks directly to the concerns of
health care professionals and managers--the people who want things to
change, but who keep encountering obstacles—in order to help them
implement change that fosters sustainable growth and better patient care.
Most implementation failures occur because of a poor launch, but Launching
and Leading Change Initiatives in Health Care Organizations: Managing
Successful Projects walks readers through how to overcome the
seemingly insurmountable difficulties of successfully starting and
managing projects. This guide covers:
-
The preliminary groundwork that cultivates a stronger launch
-
Systematic and selective project selection
-
Building the team that accomplishes change
-
Skill-building and record-keeping systems that foster sustainable
growth
