iSBN-978-93-6976-229-3

As the pace of technological disruption accelerates, healthcare demand surges, and policy
environments shift, the business of running health systems is more important than ever. Health
administrators now face a medley of clinical, financial, technological, and organizational
challenges, while serving care floor at delivery level based on the principles of quality, equity,
and sustainability.
Health Systems Management Strategies for Effective Administration is designed to be an
authoritative guide for assembled healthcare and management leaders, students, practitioners,
and policy-makers seeking practical frameworks for developing and operating effectively
organized systems of health care. For the full content of the journal article please click on the
print version available above.
The journal applies evidence-based management principles to practical issues of health
management in an effort to bridge the gap between evidence and practice. Drawing on
interdisciplinary perspectives from public health and management science, informatics, and
health economics, this book equips readers with the skills to study system performance,
catalyze innovation, and lead with strength.
We have organized each chapter to correspond to essential elements of health service
management: governance, strategic management, human resources, general financial
management, quality improvement, information systems, and patient-centered care.
It infuses a strong but unique level of global thinking, as well as context-specific challenges,
and heavily emphasizes agility, fraternity or leadership and an ethical sense of mind. It is
peppered throughout with case studies, strategic models and up-to-date data to stimulate
critical thinking and solving real-time problems.
We hope that this book can be not only a foundation for students of health administration but
also a handbook for real-world practitioners striving to improve the operational effectives and
the impact of healthcare organizations through better policy
