Description
"Managing Clinical Processes is the first book of its kind to address the concept of clinical process management, and to integrate the clinical workplace within the corporate organisation for the Australian health services industry. It provides clinicians and managers with an understanding of the demands and expectations of modern health services from a patient, consumer and multidisciplinary perspective, and how to manage them. The text offers an evidence-based approach to organising, evaluating and revising the processes that constitute a health service, based on systematising care processes for specific clinical case types. Managing Clinical Processes in Health Services will be invaluable to those integrating and improving systems of clinical process management across the organisation"--Provided by publisher.
