Developing and implementing strategy is one of the most challenging tasks for
healthcare leaders, as it requires a wide range of skills and knowledge. Strategic
Healthcare Management: Planning and Execution provides a thorough overview
of strategic principles and the competencies needed to apply them, such as
communication, decision making, positioning, goal setting, data analyses, project
management, and financial analysis. The book emphasizes both competitive
and collaborative strategies to help healthcare leaders further their organization's
mission rather than merely outperform competitors.
The third edition includes more cases and expanded content. Two new chapters
focus on the following subjects:
* The growing trend of healthcare data analytics, with emphasis on the
importance of data-driven strategic analysis and the instruments used for
extracting, manipulating, and visualizing data
* Project management principles to support strategy implementation, with an
exploration of tools and techniques such as project charters, communication
planning, scope definition, timelines, and Gantt charts

Ten brand-new case studies have been added to this new edition. These scenarios
highlight strategic issues healthcare professionals frequently face, including
capitation and accountable care relationships, competitive positioning, alliance
breakdowns, and vertical integration. End-of-chapter cases, examples, and
assignments have also been updated.
The fundamental concepts and theories of strategy, as well as the actual execution
and assessment of strategic plans, are all covered in this book. Strategic Healthcare
Management aims to provide readers with the theoretical foundation and hands-on
experience they need to comprehend, apply, and assess strategies.
