This book addresses the importance of focusing an organization around systems or processes, and how such a change can affect how health care managers deal with ever-present financial pressures. It also contains a step-by-step method to be used by managers to start developing a core business system structure for their organization. In order to achieve a core business system organization structure, the authors believe that health care managers need to refrain from making changes based solely upon bottom line or end results. Discussed are reasons why it is dangerous to apply quick fixes to the problems involved in reducing costs, as well as the importance of making changes based on a thorough understanding of the system.
