Download or read book Strategic Health Planning written by Allen D. Spiegel and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1991 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is developed around a rational planning process of six steps required to develop a strategic plan for health services. Following an overview chapter that identifies the need for this text and how it differs from previous health planning texts, each succeeding chapter is devoted to one step in the process. Methods and techniques are provided that can help practitioners carry out the steps. Where feasible, the reader learns how to use these methods and how to identify their strengths and weaknesses. In an era of stiff competition among health service agencies and hospitals, practitioners who use the methods described will have a distinct advantage over those administrators who do not. In the fast developing and dynamic field of health care, past experiences are no longer the best barometer of what a health agency ought to do in the future. There is no longer any stability in the health service field. Consequently, program administrators and/or their planning/marketing directors do need a guide to insure they obtain better results from their efforts.

Each chapter of this new fourth edition has been revised to include current information. In addition, new chapters have been added in the following areas: planning health care responses to natural disasters, terrorism, and other mass casualty situations; what works and what doesn't in leadership; implementing or expanding health and safety programs; productivity enhancement; and preparing for and providing legal health and safety testimony. In each of these cases one or more collaborators have added their expertise to the discussion. Appendices include items for new health and safety mangers to consider; examples of budget categories; audit instruments for occupational and environmental health and safety components; and a summary of parliamentary procedures to help managers expedite meetings and spot inappropriate attempts to block a program or prevent necessary discussion.
