Synopsis

Designed for the management and development of professional nurses, this text provides management concepts and theories, giving professional administrators theoretical and practical knowledge, enabling them to maintain morale, motivation, and productivity.

The management changes which are occurring in business and industry, such as organizational downsizing and restructuring, a rise in the temporary workforce, pay-for performance, and the implementation of total quality management programs, are also being adopted in the field of health care. Professional nurses and students will find that keeping abreast of these changes is crucial to their career development, and the fourth edition of this successful text will help them do just that. The text is organized around the four management functions of Planning, Organizing, Leadership, and Evaluation, and includes new chapters on total quality management, the theory of human resource development, and collective bargaining. Additionally, content has been added to include recommendations from the work of the Institute of Medicine (Cross the Quality Chasm, Educating Healthcare Professionals) as well as content on the Magnet Appraisal process. Content has been added on Ethics for the Nursing Manager.

Management and Leadership for Nurse Administrators provides a foundation for nurse managers and nurse executives as well as students with major management and administrative content including planning, organizing, leadership, directing, and evaluating.
