Principles Of Hospital Administration And Planning

Principles of Hospital Administration and Planning, 2/E is a comprehensive foundational textbook covering the full scope of hospital administration and management. Structured across 29 chapters organized into six sections, it builds a systematic, step-by-step understanding of how a hospital functions as an organization - from planning and design through day-to-day clinical, administrative, and functional management. The book progresses logically through the hospital's role in health care and its planning and design; outpatient, inpatient and nursing services; core management functions of planning, organising, directing and leading, controlling, and financial management; clinical supportive services including radiology, laboratory, the operation theatre suite, pharmacy and central sterile supply; administrative services covering medical records, hospital infection, utilisation statistics, materials management, marketing and evaluation of hospital services; and functional hospital organisation, including linen and laundry, waste disposal, public relations, ethical and legal aspects, disaster management, and quality assurance through medical audit. Seven appendices extend the text with practical reference material, including schedules of accommodation, classification of hospital service areas and departments, salient points of the Biomedical Waste Rules, and a checklist for preparing a disaster plan. Who This Book Is For: BHA Students: builds a structured, section-wise foundation in hospital organization, planning and management across the entire undergraduate hospital administration curriculum.
