Description
Health & Care Management Skills Series Managers need to balance the needs of multiple groups in order to do their job well, and to keep themselves happy. Well, as happy as possible… They need to make sure that the needs of staff, the needs of service users, and the needs of the organisation are being met. And they don’t always get the training to do it. We’ve developed a set of books to help managers in health and care develop the skills they need. Book 2 – The Book of Health & Care Cost Management This book is for managers and professionals in health and care who want to develop their cost control skills or who need to reduce cost across their operation. Whether you are in primary, secondary or tertiary healthcare, the voluntary sector, social care, in public or private care, this book has something to help you. It includes: – An exploration of what cost management is, and why people need to do it. – A consideration of the barriers to cost management and how to address them – An approach to cost management – Lots of cost management ideas – more for providers than for commissioners, and more for health than social care – but the generic set work for everyone It’s also very handy if you are about to run a large scale cost reduction or management programme…
