The Logics of Healthcare (eBook, ePUB)

The Professional's Guide to Health Systems Science

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Most of the literature on healthcare operations management is focused on importing principles and methods from manufacturing. The evidence of success is scattered and nowhere near what has been achieved in other industries. This book develops the idea that the logic of production, and production systems in healthcare is significantly different.
