Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Managed care, consumerism, expensive technology, government regulation?these and other modern realities have altered the landscape of medical practice. The management skills required to operate successfully in this new environment are not taught in medical school, and many highly skilled physicians are unprepared to face the challenges of managing a practice. Today, The Yale Management Guide for Physicians provides the theoretical knowledge and the practical know-how that doctors need to manage their practices and reclaim their role as leaders in the healthcare industry.

This artful management primer combines in-depth lectures on finance, marketing, management strategy, leadership, and other important business topics with case studies in which a physician is faced with a critical management challenge. These cases illustrate the types of management problems faced by physicians every day, and are designed to help readers identify and acquire the core skills needed to put sound management principles into practice.

This highly focused guide helps physicians develop the knowledge and management skills they need to:

• Expand a practice while retaining control
• Influence healthcare policy
• Convince someone that an idea is worth the cost
• Evaluate a proposal
• Position a practice to get more business
• Develop a leadership style

Physicians will also discover how to make a convincing oral presentation, manage a negotiation process, develop a business plan for a practice, talk about money, and much more. A "how-to-do-it" section following each case study offers step-by-step instructions for physicians who want to undertake similar projects.

Based on the highly acclaimed Yale Management Program for Physicians, The Yale Management Guide for Physicians is an eye-opening and indispensable resource for physicians who want to control their own practices, become leaders in the healthcare profession, and ensure their continuing ability to deliver quality medical care to their patients.
