Preface
This book is intended for healthcare professionals who regularly
perform the classic
functions of a manager as part of their job duties—planning,
organizing, decision
making, staffing, leading or directing, communicating, and
motivating—yet have
not had extensive management training. Healthcare practitioners
may exercise these
functions on a continuing basis in their roles as department
directors or unit
supervisors, or they may participate in only a few of these
traditional functions, such
as training and development of unit staff. In any case,
knowledge of management
theory is an essential element in professional training, because
no single function is
ever addressed independently of all others.
In this book, emphasis is placed on definitions of terms,
clarification of concepts,
and, in some cases, highly detailed explanations of processes
and concepts. The
examples reflect typical practices in the healthcare setting.
However, all examples
are fictitious and none are intended as legal, financial, or
accreditation advice.
Every author must decide what material to include and what
level of detail to
provide. The philosopher and pundit Samuel Johnson observed,
“A man will turn
over half a library to make one book.” We have been guided by
experience gained in
the classroom, as well as in many training and development
workshops for
healthcare practitioners. Three basic objectives determined the
final selection and
development of material:
1. Acquaint the healthcare practitioner with management
concepts essential to
the understanding of the organizational environment within
which the
functions of the manager are performed. Some material
challenges
assumptions about such concepts as power, authority, influence,
and
leadership. Some of the discussions focus on relatively new
concepts such as
appreciative inquiry approaches to motivation and conflict
management,
cultural proficiency and diversity training, changes in
credentialing, and job
duties of technical support personnel. Practitioners must keep
abreast of
developing trends in management, guarding against being “the
last to know.”
2. Provide a base for further study of management concepts.
Therefore, the
classic literature in the field is cited, major theorists are noted,
and terms are
defined, especially where there is a divergence of opinion in
management
literature. We all stand on the shoulders of the management
“giants” who
paved the way in the field; a return to original sources is
encouraged.
3. Provide sufficient detail in selected areas to enable the
practitioner to apply
12
the concepts in day-to-day situations. Several tools of planning
and control,
such as budget preparation and justification, training design,
project
management, special reports (e.g., the annual report, a strategic
plan, a due
diligence assessment, a consultant’s report), and labor union
contracts, are
explained in detail.
We have attempted to provide enough information to make it
possible for the
reader to use these tools with ease at their basic level. It is the
authors’ hope that the
readers will contribute to the literature and practice of
healthcare management as
they grow in their professional practice and management roles.
We are grateful to
our many colleagues who have journeyed with us over the years
and shared their
ideas with us.

What’s New in the Seventh Edition
Management Principles for Health Professionals, Seventh
Edition continues to
present foundational principles of management in the context of
contemporary
health care. The Seventh Edition reflects current issues by
linking them to basic
principles. Newly added examples include corporate
compliance, standards of
conduct and mandatory reporting, eHealth (its expansion, plus
issues relating to
reimbursement), revenue cycle considerations, cultural
competency and diversity
training, and comparative effectiveness reviews. There is
continuing expansion of
material relating to the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act
(HIPAA), electronic health records/personal health records, due
diligence reviews,
and healthcare reform legislation.
Examples and exhibits have been updated throughout. Examples
reflect a wide
variety of settings, including acute care, observation units,
urgent care, rural critical
access care facilities, neighborhood health centers, secure
personal care units,
continuing care facilities, and rapid treatment centers. These
examples feature
various patient groups, including the frail elderly, at-risk youth,
and homeless
youths and adults. A full-scale plan, with 500-day
implementation schedule, is
included to illustrate project management. Newly emerging
jobs/positions are
included, such as compliance officer, privacy specialist, data
quality and analysis
specialist, and contractual management teams.
SPECIFIC CHAPTER UPDATES
Chapter 1, “The Dynamic Environment of Health Care,”
presents a template for
analyzing megatrends in health care with attention to clients,
families as caregivers,
professional practitioners, the healthcare marketplace and
settings, the impact of
technology (including eHealth and virtual health), data mining,
the health
information exchange, and social/cultural factors. An expanded
section on financing
and reimbursement is included. The characteristics of the
effective manager are
delineated.
Chapter 2, “The Challenge of Change,” includes detailed
examples relating to the
continued implementation of the electronic health record
(including outreach
campaigns and meaningful use initiatives), the organizational
restructuring resulting
from marketplace forces, and continuing impact of healthcare
reform legislation.
Chapter 3, “Organizational Adaptation and Survival,” includes
expanded
15
discussion of competition and adversarial relationships.
Extensive analysis of the
effects of mergers, partial or full closure of a facility, and the
final stages in the
organizational life cycle is made. The main features of the
manager’s concerns and
activities during this phase are amplified.
Chapter 4, “Leadership and the Manager,” was formerly Chapter
12, “Authority,
Leadership, and Supervision.” The material concerned with
knowing one’s own
leadership style has been expanded. Information presented on
orders and directives
has been moved to Chapter 11, “Communication,” and the
discussion of supervision
and discipline has been moved to Chapter 10, “Adaptation,
Motivation, and Conflict
Management.”
Chapter 5, “Planning and Decision Making,” adds material
relating to the
consequences of delaying decision making or not making
decisions at all, along with
the second- and third-order impact of decisions. More examples
of the after-action
report are included. Under the topic of planning, project
management is presented,
including the role of the project manager along with project
evaluation through
process and outcome reviews. A complete project, coupled with
a 500-day
implementation plan, is provided to illustrate the extensive
nature of project
delineation, activity description, and evaluation cycles.
Chapter 6, “Organizing,” provides additional discussion of the
job analysis,
classification, and job description interrelationship.
New/emerging/changing job
titles and responsibilities are included (e.g., corporate
compliance officer, data
quality specialist, privacy officer). Standards of conduct and
mandatory reporting
are added to the orientation module. The role and function of
the external, contract
management team is delineated. The changing characteristics of
the work force are
highlighted. The management inventory to forecast staffing
needs is developed. The
consultant report reflects current issues relating to transition
from hard copy to
electronic health records, and the resulting legacy systems,
changes in data entries,
studies relating to shorter stay admissions compared to balance-
of-life admissions in
skilled care, the necessity of studies relating to patterns of
readmission to acute care,
and studies about secure personal care units (including
suspected elder abuse
because of involuntary seclusion).
Chapter 7, “Committees and Teams,” offers refined and
expanded information
concerning employee teams and their legality and advice and
guidance for building
and maintaining a departmental team.
Chapter 8, “Budget Planning and Implementation,” is
essentially the same as the
former Chapter 7, “Budgeting: Controlling the Ultimate
Resource.”
Chapter 9, “Training and Development: The Backbone of
Motivation and
Retention,” includes new material that reflects diversity and
cultural competence.
New material has also been added to address the mutual
responsibilities, and the
elements of an affiliation agreement/contract between the
healthcare organization
16
and external academic programs for clinical practice rotations.
Additional aspects of
the training design are included to reflect the needs assessment
for training, aspects
of interpersonal skills, and challenges associated with difficult
client interaction.
Chapter 10, “Adaptation, Motivation, and Conflict
Management,” includes an
explanation of motivational strategies for dealing with crisis
incidents. The impact
of downsizing is explained in detail, including the environment
created when layoffs
occur, the effects on employees who must be released, and the
reactions of
“survivors” who are expected to do more with less at a time
when morale and
motivation have been adversely affected. Labor union trends
and issues are
highlighted, and the sample labor contract has been updated.
Chapter 11, “Communication: The Glue That Binds Us
Together,” formerly
Chapter 14, stresses plans and preparations for addressing
communication during a
crisis via the need for disaster planning. Material concerning
“the grapevine” and the
manager’s role in rumor control is presented, and information
concerning orders and
directives has been moved here from an earlier chapter.
Chapter 12, “The Middle Manager and Documentation of
Critical Management
Processes,” includes full-scale examples of reports, strategic
plans, and due
diligence reviews. Current points of emphasis, including
regional health information
exchanges, telecommuting issues, upgrading job titles and
content (including
certifications and qualifications), participation in clinical
practice programs, and
achievements related to external rating reviews (e.g., Medicare
Five-Star rating) are
described.
Chapter 13, “Improving Performance and Controlling the
Critical Cycle,”
discusses ideas for topics for studies that reflect current issues
such as comparative
effectiveness evaluation, outcome measurement, Recovery Audit
Contractor audits
and payment error reviews, American Health Information
Management Association
(AHIMA) governance principles, issues specific to critical
access/rural facilities
(e.g., use of and reimbursement for telehealth, swing bed usage,
pattern of transfer
to regional tertiary centers), no-show and cancelled appointment
patterns, and
cultural and linguistic services. Seven categories of
performance improvement
studies are also described. In addition, selected strategies of
improvement processes
are noted, including rapid cycle improvement,
waterfall/cascading impact reviews,
and root cause analysis. An application of dashboard reporting
is given, reflecting its
use in a disaster situation. Three examples are given to reflect
the unanticipated
consequence of planning: when an improvement fails and
negative outcomes occur.
Chapter 14, “Human Resources Management: A Line Manager’s
Perspective,”
formerly Chapter 13, is essentially unchanged from the previous
edition, although
laws applicable to employment are reviewed for updates.
Chapter 15, “Day-to-Day Management for the Health
Professional-as-Manager,”
has been slightly expanded to address the development and
management of one’s
17
own career.

CHAPTER 1
The Dynamic Environment of
Health Care
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
• Describe the healthcare environment as it has evolved since
the middle to
late 1960s with attention to the dynamic interplay of key
factors.
• Examine megatrends in the healthcare environment with
attention to:
○ Client characteristics
○ Professional practitioners and caregivers
○ Healthcare marketplace and settings
○ Applicable laws, regulations, and standards
○ Impact of technology
○ Privacy and security considerations
○ Financing of health care
○ Social and cultural factors
• Identify the role set of the healthcare practitioner as manager.
• Review the classic functions of the manager.
• Define and differentiate between management as an art and a
science.
• Conceptualize the characteristics of an effective manager.
THE DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT OF HEALTH
CARE
The contemporary healthcare environment is a dynamic one,
combining enduring
patterns of practice with evolving ones to meet challenges and
opportunities of
changing times. The healthcare organization is a highly visible
one in most
19
communities. It is a fixture with deep roots in the social,
religious, fraternal, and
civic fabric of the society. It is a major economic force,
accounting for
approximately one-sixth of the national economy. In some local
settings, the
healthcare organization is one of the major employers, with the
local economy tied
to this sector. The image of the hospital is anchored in personal
lives: it is the place
of major life events, including birth and death, and episodes of
care throughout
one’s life. Families recount the stories of “remember the time
when we all rushed to
the hospital ...” and similar recollections. The hospital is
anchored in the popular
culture as a common frame of reference. People express, in
ordinary terms, their
stereotypic reference to the healthcare setting: “He works up at
the hospital,” “Oh
yes, we made another trip to the emergency room,” or “I have a
doctor’s
appointment.” Popular media also uses similar references;
television shows
regularly feature dramatic scenes in the acute care hospital,
with the physician as an
almost universally visible presence. Care is often depicted as
happening in the
emergency department.
On closer examination, one recognizes that, in fact, many
changes have occurred
in the healthcare environment. The traditional hospital remains
an important hub of
care but with many levels of care and physical locations. The
physician continues to
hold a major place on the healthcare team, but there has been a
steady increase in the
development and use of other practitioners (e.g., nurse midwife,
physical therapist as
independent agent, physician assistant) to complement and
augment the physician’s
role. A casual conversation reflects such change; a person is
just as likely to go to
the mall to get a brief physical examination at a walk-in,
franchised clinic as he or
she would be to go to the traditional physician’s office. One
might get an annual
“flu” shot at the grocery store or smoking cessation counseling
from the pharmacist
at a commercial drug store. One might have an appointment for
care with a nurse
practitioner instead of a physician. Instead of using an
emergency service at a
hospital, one might receive health care at an urgent care service
or clinic.
Although the setting and practitioners have developed and
changed, the
underlying theme remains: how to provide health care that is the
best, most
effective, accessible, and affordable, in a stable yet flexible
delivery system. …

Case: Professional Behavior—The Bumping Game Case: Delegation Difficulties—The Ineffective Subordinate Notes Index 11 Preface This book is intended for healthcare professionals who regularly perform the classic functions of a manager as part of their job duties—planning, organizing, decision making, staffing, leading or directing, communicating, and motivating—yet have not had extensive management training. Healthcare practitioners
  • 14. may exercise these functions on a continuing basis in their roles as department directors or unit supervisors, or they may participate in only a few of these traditional functions, such as training and development of unit staff. In any case, knowledge of management theory is an essential element in professional training, because no single function is ever addressed independently of all others. In this book, emphasis is placed on definitions of terms, clarification of concepts, and, in some cases, highly detailed explanations of processes and concepts. The examples reflect typical practices in the healthcare setting. However, all examples are fictitious and none are intended as legal, financial, or accreditation advice. Every author must decide what material to include and what level of detail to provide. The philosopher and pundit Samuel Johnson observed, “A man will turn over half a library to make one book.” We have been guided by experience gained in the classroom, as well as in many training and development workshops for healthcare practitioners. Three basic objectives determined the final selection and development of material: 1. Acquaint the healthcare practitioner with management concepts essential to the understanding of the organizational environment within which the
  • 15. functions of the manager are performed. Some material challenges assumptions about such concepts as power, authority, influence, and leadership. Some of the discussions focus on relatively new concepts such as appreciative inquiry approaches to motivation and conflict management, cultural proficiency and diversity training, changes in credentialing, and job duties of technical support personnel. Practitioners must keep abreast of developing trends in management, guarding against being “the last to know.” 2. Provide a base for further study of management concepts. Therefore, the classic literature in the field is cited, major theorists are noted, and terms are defined, especially where there is a divergence of opinion in management literature. We all stand on the shoulders of the management “giants” who paved the way in the field; a return to original sources is encouraged. 3. Provide sufficient detail in selected areas to enable the practitioner to apply 12 the concepts in day-to-day situations. Several tools of planning and control, such as budget preparation and justification, training design,
  • 16. project management, special reports (e.g., the annual report, a strategic plan, a due diligence assessment, a consultant’s report), and labor union contracts, are explained in detail. We have attempted to provide enough information to make it possible for the reader to use these tools with ease at their basic level. It is the authors’ hope that the readers will contribute to the literature and practice of healthcare management as they grow in their professional practice and management roles. We are grateful to our many colleagues who have journeyed with us over the years and shared their ideas with us. Joan Gratto Liebler Charles R.

The Seventh Edition reflects current issues by linking them to basic principles. Newly added examples include corporate compliance, standards of conduct and mandatory reporting, eHealth (its expansion, plus issues relating to reimbursement), revenue cycle considerations, cultural competency and diversity training, and comparative effectiveness reviews. There is continuing expansion of material relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), electronic health records/personal health records, due diligence reviews, and healthcare reform legislation. Examples and exhibits have been updated throughout. Examples
  • 19. reflect a wide variety of settings, including acute care, observation units, urgent care, rural critical access care facilities, neighborhood health centers, secure personal care units, continuing care facilities, and rapid treatment centers. These examples feature various patient groups, including the frail elderly, at-risk youth, and homeless youths and adults. A full-scale plan, with 500-day implementation schedule, is included to illustrate project management. Newly emerging jobs/positions are included, such as compliance officer, privacy specialist, data quality and analysis specialist, and contractual management teams. SPECIFIC CHAPTER UPDATES Chapter 1, “The Dynamic Environment of Health Care,” presents a template for analyzing megatrends in health care with attention to clients, families as caregivers, professional practitioners, the healthcare marketplace and settings, the impact of technology (including eHealth and virtual health), data mining, the health information exchange, and social/cultural factors. An expanded section on financing and reimbursement is included. The characteristics of the effective manager are delineated. Chapter 2, “The Challenge of Change,” includes detailed examples relating to the continued implementation of the electronic health record (including outreach
  • 20. campaigns and meaningful use initiatives), the organizational restructuring resulting from marketplace forces, and continuing impact of healthcare reform legislation. Chapter 3, “Organizational Adaptation and Survival,” includes expanded 15 discussion of competition and adversarial relationships. Extensive analysis of the effects of mergers, partial or full closure of a facility, and the final stages in the organizational life cycle is made. The main features of the manager’s concerns and activities during this phase are amplified. Chapter 4, “Leadership and the Manager,” was formerly Chapter 12, “Authority, Leadership, and Supervision.” The material concerned with knowing one’s own leadership style has been expanded. Information presented on orders and directives has been moved to Chapter 11, “Communication,” and the discussion of supervision and discipline has been moved to Chapter 10, “Adaptation, Motivation, and Conflict Management.” Chapter 5, “Planning and Decision Making,” adds material relating to the consequences of delaying decision making or not making decisions at all, along with
  • 21. the second- and third-order impact of decisions. More examples of the after-action report are included. Under the topic of planning, project management is presented, including the role of the project manager along with project evaluation through process and outcome reviews. A complete project, coupled with a 500-day implementation plan, is provided to illustrate the extensive nature of project delineation, activity description, and evaluation cycles. Chapter 6, “Organizing,” provides additional discussion of the job analysis, classification, and job description interrelationship. New/emerging/changing job titles and responsibilities are included (e.g., corporate compliance officer, data quality specialist, privacy officer). Standards of conduct and mandatory reporting are added to the orientation module. The role and function of the external, contract management team is delineated. The changing characteristics of the work force are highlighted. The management inventory to forecast staffing needs is developed. The consultant report reflects current issues relating to transition from hard copy to electronic health records, and the resulting legacy systems, changes in data entries, studies relating to shorter stay admissions compared to balance- of-life admissions in skilled care, the necessity of studies relating to patterns of readmission to acute care, and studies about secure personal care units (including suspected elder abuse
  • 22. because of involuntary seclusion). Chapter 7, “Committees and Teams,” offers refined and expanded information concerning employee teams and their legality and advice and guidance for building and maintaining a departmental team. Chapter 8, “Budget Planning and Implementation,” is essentially the same as the former Chapter 7, “Budgeting: Controlling the Ultimate Resource.” Chapter 9, “Training and Development: The Backbone of Motivation and Retention,” includes new material that reflects diversity and cultural competence. New material has also been added to address the mutual responsibilities, and the elements of an affiliation agreement/contract between the healthcare organization 16 and external academic programs for clinical practice rotations. Additional aspects of the training design are included to reflect the needs assessment for training, aspects of interpersonal skills, and challenges associated with difficult client interaction. Chapter 10, “Adaptation, Motivation, and Conflict Management,” includes an explanation of motivational strategies for dealing with crisis
  • 23. incidents. The impact of downsizing is explained in detail, including the environment created when layoffs occur, the effects on employees who must be released, and the reactions of “survivors” who are expected to do more with less at a time when morale and motivation have been adversely affected. Labor union trends and issues are highlighted, and the sample labor contract has been updated. Chapter 11, “Communication: The Glue That Binds Us Together,” formerly Chapter 14, stresses plans and preparations for addressing communication during a crisis via the need for disaster planning. Material concerning “the grapevine” and the manager’s role in rumor control is presented, and information concerning orders and directives has been moved here from an earlier chapter. Chapter 12, “The Middle Manager and Documentation of Critical Management Processes,” includes full-scale examples of reports, strategic plans, and due diligence reviews. Current points of emphasis, including regional health information exchanges, telecommuting issues, upgrading job titles and content (including certifications and qualifications), participation in clinical practice programs, and achievements related to external rating reviews (e.g., Medicare Five-Star rating) are described. Chapter 13, “Improving Performance and Controlling the
  • 24. Critical Cycle,” discusses ideas for topics for studies that reflect current issues such as comparative effectiveness evaluation, outcome measurement, Recovery Audit Contractor audits and payment error reviews, American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) governance principles, issues specific to critical access/rural facilities (e.g., use of and reimbursement for telehealth, swing bed usage, pattern of transfer to regional tertiary centers), no-show and cancelled appointment patterns, and cultural and linguistic services. Seven categories of performance improvement studies are also described. In addition, selected strategies of improvement processes are noted, including rapid cycle improvement, waterfall/cascading impact reviews, and root cause analysis. An application of dashboard reporting is given, reflecting its use in a disaster situation. Three examples are given to reflect the unanticipated consequence of planning: when an improvement fails and negative outcomes occur. Chapter 14, “Human Resources Management: A Line Manager’s Perspective,” formerly Chapter 13, is essentially unchanged from the previous edition, although laws applicable to employment are reviewed for updates. Chapter 15, “Day-to-Day Management for the Health Professional-as-Manager,” has been slightly expanded to address the development and management of one’s

THE DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT OF HEALTH CARE The contemporary healthcare environment is a dynamic one, combining enduring patterns of practice with evolving ones to meet challenges and opportunities of changing times. The healthcare organization is a highly visible one in most 19 communities. It is a fixture with deep roots in the social, religious, fraternal, and civic fabric of the society. It is a major economic force, accounting for approximately one-sixth of the national economy. In some local settings, the healthcare organization is one of the major employers, with the local economy tied to this sector. The image of the hospital is anchored in personal lives: it is the place of major life events, including birth and death, and episodes of care throughout one’s life. Families recount the stories of “remember the time when we all rushed to the hospital ...” and similar recollections. The hospital is anchored in the popular culture as a common frame of reference. People express, in ordinary terms, their stereotypic reference to the healthcare setting: “He works up at
  • 27. the hospital,” “Oh yes, we made another trip to the emergency room,” or “I have a doctor’s appointment.” Popular media also uses similar references; television shows regularly feature dramatic scenes in the acute care hospital, with the physician as an almost universally visible presence. Care is often depicted as happening in the emergency department. On closer examination, one recognizes that, in fact, many changes have occurred in the healthcare environment. The traditional hospital remains an important hub of care but with many levels of care and physical locations. The physician continues to hold a major place on the healthcare team, but there has been a steady increase in the development and use of other practitioners (e.g., nurse midwife, physical therapist as independent agent, physician assistant) to complement and augment the physician’s role. A casual conversation reflects such change; a person is just as likely to go to the mall to get a brief physical examination at a walk-in, franchised clinic as he or she would be to go to the traditional physician’s office. One might get an annual “flu” shot at the grocery store or smoking cessation counseling from the pharmacist at a commercial drug store. One might have an appointment for care with a nurse practitioner instead of a physician. Instead of using an emergency service at a hospital, one might receive health care at an urgent care service
