Summary:

Designed for current and future health services managers, this accessible and engaging text blends foundational management competencies with career-building insights. The book dives into all the core health management domains including leadership, ethics, population health, finance, HR, project management, and more with examples drawn from diverse healthcare settings. Professional reflections and career content help readers build both confidence and empathy in their journey toward impactful and valuable careers. -- Provided by publisher.

The health services management profession -- mysterious to students and misconstrued by clinicians-deserves a clear explanation, free of jargon and overly-complicated conceptual models. Confusion about the role of the health services manager is understandable. Arcane knowledge and highly specialized skills can be intimidating, and the health services management profession seems to be full of contradictory motivations. However, as will be explained in this textbook, technical management skills can be learned, and the contradictions actually make the profession worth pursuing -- Provided by publisher.
