Organisation Development in Health Care: Strategic Issues in Health Care Management - Tapa dura

Health systems across the globe face similar problems: controlling costs while maintaining or improving health care quality and access. Notwithstanding the unprecedented health system reforms of the past decades, many outstanding problems remain in these areas. This collection of research papers examines the impact of organizational development on improving quality and efficiency in health care. The volume focuses in particular on organizational and managerial development in health care. A series of chapters provide accounts of organizational reconfiguration in the UK and elsewhere. The contributers examine how structural and procedural changes must be matched by development of the services of human resources if increases in efficiency and effectiveness are to be acheived.
