Hospital Administration, 2/E for BHA, MHA Students and Healthcare Administrators | Textbook on Hospital Planning, Clinical, Diagnostic and Support Services, Risk Management, Quality and e-Hospital

Hospital Administration, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive textbook covering the full breadth of hospital and healthcare administration in a single, structured reference. Organized across 8 sections and 64 chapters spanning 528 pages , this revised edition updates the text with post-pandemic priorities - makeshift hospital setup, personal protective equipment (PPE) planning, e-Hospital systems, transactional analysis, and planning considerations for a medical college and its associated hospitals - alongside the established fundamentals of hospital administration and management theory. The book moves systematically from foundational concepts (hospital administration theory, management principles, planning, organizing, staffing, decision-making, materials and financial management) through operational services (clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic, support and utility) to risk management and the latest advances shaping healthcare delivery today, including healthcare financing, health insurance, quality accreditation, telemedicine, and medical tourism. Two-colour diagrams and flowcharts (such as input-process-output models and managerial-role charts), boxed quick-reference tables (like Fayol's Principles of Management), bulleted definitions and functions lists, tabulated role/function breakdowns, and chapter-end bibliographies make each topic easy to study and revise. Five statutory annexures reproduce the text of key healthcare-related Acts and Rules for ready reference. Who This Book Is For: BHA students: a structured, exam-aligned foundation across every core hospital-administration domain for the undergraduate program. MHA and MBA (Healthcare) students: in-depth coverage of management techniques, financial management, and healthcare policy topics needed at the postgraduate level. MD Hospital Administration postgraduates: a single consolidated reference spanning clinical, diagnostic, and support-service administration alongside management theory. Practicing hospital and healthcare administrators and consultants: a working reference for day-to-day operational, financial, quality, and regulatory decision-making. Why This Book Helps: Bridges theory and hospital-specific practice: applies core management principles (planning, organizing, staffing, MBO, PERT, EOQ, ZBB) directly to hospital operations rather than treating them as generic business theory. Covers every operational department in one place: from OPD, Emergency, IPD, OT, and ICU to laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, medical records, CSSD, dietary, and housekeeping services - eliminating the need for multiple reference books. Addresses post-COVID realities: dedicated coverage of PPE, disaster management, makeshift hospital planning, and healthcare-associated infection control reflects current operational demands. Prepares readers for statutory and quality compliance: annexures reproduce the National Medical Commission Act 2019, Consumer Protection Act, Biomedical Waste Disposal Rules, PCPNDT Act, and Human Organ Transplantation Act, while a dedicated section covers accreditation and the Quality Council of India framework. Builds financial and strategic competence: chapters on accounting, budgeting, healthcare financing, and health insurance equip readers for the financial-management responsibilities of hospital administration roles. Key Features: 8 sections across 64 chapters and 528 pages covering the complete hospital-administration curriculum. 5 statutory annexures reproducing key healthcare-related Acts and Rules (NMC Act 2019, Consumer Protection Act 1986, Biomedical Waste Disposal Rules, PCPNDT Act and Rules, Human Organ Transplantation Act). New COVID-19-era content added in this edition: makeshift hospital planning, PPE, transactional analysis, e-Hospital, and medical college planning considerations. Two-colour diagrams, flowcharts, and boxed quick-reference tables (e.g., Fayol's Principles of Management, input-process-output and managerial-role models). Dedicated coverage of quality accreditation, the 5-M Checklist, healthcare financing, health insurance, telemedicine, and medical tourism as recent advances in the field.
