Download PRETITLE Charting the Course: Launching Patient-Centric Healthcare [Kindle Edition] POSTTITLE from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link In Why Hospitals Should Fly by John J. Nance, JD, the 2009 James A. Hamilton ACHE Book of the Year, he advanced a paradigm—a model of what a good, successful, safe and efficient hospital looks like. The name of the fictional hospital featured in that award-winning book could be stated in Naval terms as a class: A “St. Michael’s-class” hospital (like a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier). In this book, Charting the Course, written by John Nance, JD, and his wife, Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN, they address head-on the challenge of actually becoming a St. Michael’s-class institution by illuminating leadership’s role in changing the culture—and they do so by continuing from Why Hospitals Should Fly the personal and professional journey of Dr. Will Jenkins. His battle, and emerging wisdom born of tragedy, illuminates the norms of the current culture and illustrates why each member of every medical facility, regardless of rank, must be a leader and owner of the cultural revolution needed to keep our system viable and our patients safe. While the first book dealt more with the “why” of a cultural revolution, this sequel deals more with the “how” of changing an ingrained hospital culture. We hope you enjoy Charting the Course as much as you enjoyed Why Hospitals Should Fly. Author: ISBN : Product Detai New from Format: PDF-Jerry F. Pogue

In Charting the Course, the husband-and-wife team of John Nance and Kathleen Bartholomew team up to write a novel about how an impassioned physician CEO sets out to change a hospital's culture. He is determined to avoid making the same mistakes that he made in his previous job as CEO in Oregon, where he ordered and cajoled people into compliance with procedures and objective measures. He learned that organizations cannot achieve high-reliability performance without minimizing variation using evidence-based best practices.
He negotiated the minefields, understanding that the transition to a patient-centric environment runs the risk of being seen as a reactive crusade against physicians rather than a careful rebalancing of patients', physicians, and the hospital's needs.
He articulated that the CEO's role to make sure that management at all levels makes it easier for physicians to care for patients safely and effectively with zero avoidable patient injuries and to make the hospital such a deeply satisfying and enjoyable place to work that doctors and employees transition from working there to being the face of the hospital: "We will know that we have succeeded when friends and family do not call to ask for the name of a good doctor because all our folks are good."
I liked the part that budgets are just plans that exist to serve us, not the opposite. When leaders set the vision, people who are well-chosen and properly trained, trusted, and listened to will do the hard tactical work. Front-line workers will find the funds to support the work that needs to be done in what they can change and improve, the 50% waste.
