Hospital Administration

Hospital Administration, 3rd Edition is a thoroughly revised and enlarged guide to running a healthcare institution, written for the students, academicians, and working administrators who study and teach the subject. The new edition adds chapters aimed squarely at students of hospital administration and at administrators who want to run their institutions better. The book is organized across 15 sections and 38 chapters that move from the role of the Hospital Administrator through the full span of what running a hospital requires: managerial skills (planning, information systems, communication, delegation, decision making, monitoring, time management, meetings, negotiations, innovation), hospital organization and committees, the clinical services and nursing service, specialized service areas (casualty, disaster preparedness, outpatient services, day care, operating department, diagnostics, medical records, pharmacy), human resources and performance appraisal, materials management, finances and activity-based costing, quality assurance and quality management tools, infection control, ethics and law, the Consumer Protection Act, and hospitals within the framework of India's health policy. Each section is structured as a standalone module, letting a reader move directly to the functional area they need - whether that is a managerial skill, a clinical support department, or a compliance topic - without working through the book cover to cover. Who This Book Is For: MHA and MBA (Healthcare) Students: a core-curriculum text covering every functional area of hospital management taught in postgraduate healthcare administration programs. Hospital Administration Postgraduates: a structured reference for the managerial, HR, financial, and quality-assurance competencies expected of a trained hospital administrator. Practicing Healthcare Administrators and Consultants: a working reference for sharpening skills in planning, materials management, finance, and quality management in an already-running hospital. Why This Book Helps: Covers the full administrative scope of a hospital in one book: from managerial skills to human resources, finance, and quality assurance, so readers are not left assembling knowledge from separate specialty texts. Section-wise structure for quick reference: 15 clearly separated sections let students and working administrators go straight to the functional area relevant to their immediate need. Addresses today's operating realities: dedicated chapters on disaster preparedness, infection control, and the Consumer Protection Act keep the content aligned with what a modern hospital administrator must manage. Bridges policy and practice: a dedicated section places day-to-day hospital administration within the framework of India's health policy, connecting institutional management to the national health system. Key Features: 38 chapters across 15 sections spanning the complete scope of hospital administration. Dedicated chapters on the Hospital Administrator's role, profile, and managerial skills (planning, communication, decision making, negotiations, innovation). Full coverage of specialized service areas including casualty, disaster preparedness, operating department, diagnostics, medical records, and pharmacy. Separate chapters on materials management, finance, and activity-based costing in hospitals. Dedicated sections on quality assurance, infection control, ethics and law, and India's health policy framework.
