Principles of Health Care Management: Compliance, Consumerism, and Accountability in the 21st Centur

Goldsmith draws on his many years of experience as the CEO of a health care company for personal leadership and management examples. His long career in academia and legal background are reflected in the statistical information, heavy footnoting, and extensive use of case laws. He discusses such issues as corporate compliance, consumerism, government regulation, and accountable management more than most management books. The book has 17 chapters about the U. S. Health System and health care industry including specific information about setting objectives, board of directors, structure and staffing, financial management, legal imperatives, and strategic planning. He does discuss the traditional theories of motivation and a fairly extensive discussion of Machiavelli. Many chapters end with a case study and discussion questions. An instructors manual and online tools are also available. This book is excellent for students in health administration programs and health care executives. It also makes a good companion to a leadership and management book that discusses the related theories in more traditional detail for health related disciplines.
