Why is it important?
The research shows that the main elements of management control in a hospital are: information system, diagnostic control, interactive control, innovativeness, manager's trust in physicians, and perceived uncertainty. And that proper relationships between these elements positively influence the hospital's performance.
Perspectives
The book describes how the success of the entire control and management process is based on the hospital's top management and its interaction with clinical managers, i.e. heads of the wards, heads of other medical departments as well as clinicians. The implementation of the solutions suggested in the book will help hospitals improve their performance, including the quality and effectiveness of the provided medical services.
