  1. About “Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations”

    “Hospitals and Healthcare Organizations” is a must-read for any physician or other health care provider to understand the multiple, and increasingly complex, interlocking components of the US Healthcare delivery system whether they are employed by a hospital system, or manage their own private practice.

    The operational principles, methods, and examples in this book provide a framework applicable on both the large organizational and smaller private practice levels and will result in better patient care.

    Physicians today know they need to better understand business principles and this book by Dr. David E. Marcinko and Professor Hope Rachel Hetico provides an excellent framework and foundation to learn important principles all doctors need to know.

  2. Hospital Moving to All-RN Model

    In a move that defies conventional wisdom, Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA, is replacing less expensive workers with people who are paid more.

    Michael Halter, the hospital’s chief executive officer said a pilot study done on one nursing unit found that using all registered nurses to care for patients instead of a combination of nurses and nursing assistants led to higher-quality care, and greater patient and nurse satisfaction.
