Isbn-978-93-6976-146-3

Emerging technologies, demographic shifts, evolving patient expectations,
and global health crises are accelerating the transformation of healthcare
systems across the world. Against this multifaceted, rapidly shifting
backdrop, strong leadership and prudent governance matters now more than
ever. Leadership and Governance in Healthcare: A Comprehensive Guide
is a response to the need for a research-based approach to the competencies,
strategies, and systems that underpin good governance and the sustainable
improvement of health care.
The aim of this book is to offer healthcare professionals, administrators,
students and policy makers a solid and usable resource that considers the
ever-evolving relationship between leadership and governance in health
services. It touches on traditional management principles while making
way for contemporary leadership model, ethical decision making,
stakeholder engagement and clinical governance embedded into businessas-usual.
This book is divided into several chapters which discuss leadership styles
appropriate for healthcare facilities, governance mechanisms for hospitals
and healthcare systems, as well as case-based vignettes of challenges and
achievements. The other key topics in the book are on interprofessional
collaboration, strategic planning, regulatory paradigm, quality
improvement, digital health transformation, clinical labs, digital health,
software and informatics that govern the safety of the patient and
responsibility of the system under nursing leadership.
