Effective Health Care Management presents the principles and
criteria necessary to evaluate and enhance the quality of health
care services in the NHS today. It provides an overview of health
care management and health care policy, explores evidence based
practice, and examines the ongoing need for management evaluation.
The authors discuss the role of outcome measures, performance indicators, benchmarking, and individual performance review. They also address clinical governance, accountability and professional autonomy, and the problems underlying 'seamless service provision'.
