Case Studies in Health Care Supervison / Edition 1

by Charles R. McConnell

Overview

This is a collection of case studies, most of which initially appeared in the quarterly professional journal The Health Care Supervisor. It is intended for use in the training and continuing education of supervisors, managers, and professionals working in health care or preparing for health care careers. Although it is a companion volume to The Effective Health Care Supervisor, supplementing the cases and exercises provided in that publication, it also stands by itself as a guide for supervisory training programs, and as a useful resource for a variety of other education activities.

Editorial Reviews

Presents 75 cases and a response to each, intended for use in both the initial training and continuing education of supervisors and middle managers in health care organizations. The majority of the case studies were developed from the experiences of supervisors and managers actively employed in health care settings. Most of the case responses came from editors and readers of the book, and are designed to encourage further critical thinking on the cases. The text can be used for self-study, in small groups, or as part of a supervisory development class. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
