Michael S. Wayland and Warren G. McDonald, PhD
³ Instructor Resources:
PowerPoint Slides, list of how chapters correspond to other Health
Administration Press strategic planning textbooks, and additional

Strategic planning encompasses much more than simply writing up a strategic
plan and calling it a day. Successful strategic planning also requires developing the
analytical skills leaders need to overcome current challenges while figuring out
how to thrive well into the future. This book shows the way.
Strategic Analysis for Healthcare: Concepts and Practical Applications presents a
straightforward, step-by-step approach to strategic analysis and strategy
development in healthcare. Through its clear explanations of theoretical concepts,
supported by examples and applied exercises, the book provides readers with
practical methods for developing healthcare strategy.
This second edition includes the following new features and more:

A brand-new chapter on population health, an increasingly important
approach to value-based care
Three additional new chapters on strategic directional indicators, strategy
selection and justification, and implementation plans and contingency
planning
A substantially rewritten chapter on financial fit assessment and projection
Significant updates to many sections and topics, including financial analysis,
competitive benchmarking, and organizational culture

With its short, engaging chapters, this workbook can be used as a stand-alone,
applied-learning tool or in conjunction with an additional textbook. Perforated
pages allow for easy use of the exercises as gradable assignments. The authors also
mapped specific chapters from this book that can be taught alongside two other
Health Administration Press titles, Strategic Healthcare Management, Planning and
Execution, Second Edition, and Healthcare Strategic Planning, Fourth Edition.
Leaders must be able to assess and strategically manage change in healthcare,
as well as envision the future from a predictive, competitive, and visionary
perspective. This book is designed to provide current and future leaders alike with
the knowledge and guidance to do so.
