Download or read book Fundamentals of Leadership for Healthcare Professionals written by Stanisław Stawicki and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few contemporary industries that are as complex and challenging to navigate as healthcare. The realities of constantly changing regulatory, financial, and legal environments, combined with increasing societal expectations for excellence and safe and quality care, have resulted in a unique combination of constraints and opportunities that require the best and the brightest of managers and leaders to successfully tackle. Yet despite a growing cadre of highly trained healthcare management professionals, there continues to be a paucity of high quality leaders across the industry. Moreover, even among those individuals, there is a significant amount of variability and heterogeneity of leadership styles and approaches. In an era of accountability to multiple stakeholders from patients, to insurance companies, to local and national governments the complex environment of healthcare requires visionary leadership, flexibility, adaptability, short-term tactical approaches, as well as long-term strategic thinking. Beyond the traditionally defined scope of services, the mission of institutions providing healthcare services has become much broader and far-reaching than just the provision of medical services within a specific geographic area. With hospitals and health networks progressively growing to become some of the largest aggregators of employment in the United States, it is not uncommon for healthcare institutions to function as guarantors of economic stability to entire towns, cities, and regions. Yet this must be carefully balanced with the challenges of maintaining sustainable growth and acceptable profit margins that help ensure that this safety matrix continues to function as intended. To be an effective leader in the modern healthcare environment, one must possess more than the knowledge and skills similar to other corporate environments such as having a fundamental understanding of relevant business models and their implementations, a high degree of emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and a well-established repertoire of leadership behaviors expected of an executive. It takes someone truly special to translate the presence of diverse threats and opportunities often in a climate rich with multiple types of diversely structured and organized competitors, multi-layered complex agendas that incorporate both personal and organizational goals, and an institutional history and culture that can be difficult to navigate, let alone change. Contemporary healthcare leaders must also possess a broad understanding of the nuances and intricacies involved in working with a multitude of care providers, inter-disciplinary teams, complex delivery platforms, and diverse patient populations. These efforts must translate into well-run healthcare systems that, although difficult to clearly and concisely define, are able to deliver excellent patient care, at the highest possible intersection of customer quality and value. For some other healthcare institutions, teaching and research missions can also be variables that must be considered and managed effectively in order for a hospital or healthcare system to be successful. Many of such organizations are the primary generators and providers of new provider talent to their communities and patients. Achieving all of the above goals is far from easy. As the editors of Fundamentals of Leadership for Healthcare Professionals, we were motivated by personal experiences, passion for the arts and sciences leadership roles, and the overarching goal to improve one of our most precious resources the healthcare system. Each chapter in this text explores different aspects of healthcare leadership, provides valuable insights into how effective leadership functions, and offers practical perspectives on implementations of theory into practice. We hope that the reader will gain a better understanding of the full spectrum of challenges and opportunities that face healthcare leaders at all organizational levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

With a foreword by Thomas Garavan, Edinburgh Napier Business School, UK. "Amongst the vast number of leadership texts published every year this book stands out. It has been edited with considerable care by two highly respected scholars in the field to make it accessible to all those interested in, and practising, leadership, whether healthcare professionals or students. It is well organised and moves seamlessly to address many important questions about the nature of leadership, including important questions of ethics, gender, trust, motivation, innovation, teams, and distributed leadership. The final section focuses on leading change in healthcare, a critical element of leadership practice in today’s world. Too many leadership books ignore context. This book, however, is firmly rooted in the healthcare context, and aspires to help professionals in this sector to reflect deeply on the complexities of leading through uncertain times. Whilst each chapter stands alone, the book’s merit is in offering multiple perspectives. Curtis and Cullen have encouraged the book’s contributors to address the big debates and themes in healthcare leadership today, whilst keeping in sharp focus the practice of leadership." Sharon Turnbull, Visiting Professor, Lancaster University Management School, UK "In Leadership and Change for the Health Professional, Elizabeth Curtis and John Cullen have crafted an exceptionally timely collection of practically-based research insights. As global healthcare systems face disruptive and often uncomfortable forces for change, this book tackles complex topics that health leaders must understand. While oriented toward generative practice and creative leadership skills, Curtis and Cullen do not shy away from engaging with controversial aspects of leadership development, such as bias, gendered practice, or even clinical failure, making it a valuable resource for educators and practitioners alike. Accessible and lively, Leadership and Change for the Health Professional is a successful blend of current issues with a visionary future." Kathy Lund Dean, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Leadership & Ethics, Gustavus Adolphus College, USA "Curtis and Cullen bring together a comprehensive overview of leadership, from its historical development up to its role within the current healthcare context, presented by a variety of scholars. The particular challenges and demands faced by leaders and those who aspire to lead are discussed within and it addresses the many facets of leadership approaches. Anyone interested in the development of leadership and change will find this particularly stimulating and a valuable text for academic and students alike." Alison H James, School of Healthcare Sciences, Cardiff University, UK "This book covers many aspects of leadership, which are timely in nature and directly relevant to health professionals. The contributors are highly respected and offer different perspectives on this complex issue. We need to encourage practitioners to see themselves as leaders – this evidence-based text will serve to guide them in this quest. De-emphasising the individual leadership qualities and including those of teams makes this book stand out from others. The NHS features prominently but despite this, readers from other countries should be able to easily transfer the content to their own health services. The useful websites at the end of each chapter provide further direction for readers. This is a text that is written with a very positive stance, even though the difficulties of being a leader are not ignored. It ends with a discussion on the vision for leadership – at individual, team and organisational levels. Lots to read, absorb and you can do this a chapter at a time which is great." Professor Bridie Kent, Head of School of Nursing and Midwifery, Plymouth University, UK "This book addresses an important topic, where there is huge scope to add value. This is partly due to the scale of the NHS. The language makes the text accessible to professionals as well as academics. It is also good to see that the issue of learning organisations is addressed, as well as impact of leadership on patients." Professor John G Burgoyne, Lancaster University Management School, UK "Leadership and Change for the Health Professional is a timely and authoritative academic and professional exposition of the challenges for clinicians and healthcare managers in carrying out their management roles in our modern medical and healthcare systems. Its focus on change is both apt and relevant in the context of the dynamic development of our healthcare structures." Niamh Brennan, Michael MacCormac Professor of Management, University College Dublin

Download or read book Leadership in Healthcare written by Richard B. Gunderman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in Healthcare opens up the world of leadership studies to all healthcare professionals. Physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals spend thousands of hours studying the science and technology of healthcare, and years or even decades putting into practice recent findings in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and therapeutics. By contrast, the topic of leadership and the traits of effective leaders tend to receive remarkably little attention. Yet no less vital than an understanding of how to interpret diagnostic tests and design care plans is a grasp of healthcare's organizational side, including the operation of multidisciplinary care teams, academic departments, and hospitals. If patient care, education, research, and professional service are to thrive in years to come, we must do a better job of preparing healthcare professionals to lead effectively. Composed of insightful and thought-provoking essays on the key facets of leadership, this book is designed to meet the needs of several important constituencies, including educators of health professionals who wish to incorporate leadership into their educational programs; health professional organizations seeking to enhance their members' leadership effectiveness, and individual health professionals who wish to embrace leadership in their personal and professional lives. This book represents a vital resource for health professionals who wish to enhance the quality of leadership in health professions education, practice, and professional development. In addition to regularly caring for patients, Richard Gunderman, MD PhD MPH brings to this discussion a wealth of personal experience in professional and organizational leadership.
