INTRODUCTION TO HEALTHCARE QUALITY MANAGEMENT

PATRICE SPATH - Personal Name;

The healthcare industry abounds in print (and multimedia) resources on the topic of qual- ity. A Google search for “healthcare quality books” yielded 19.3 million results in 0.21 seconds—a mind-boggling figure. Some of the results don’t refer to books, and many are repetitive, but their plenitude can’t be ignored. Despite the large number of healthcare qual- ity books available, relatively few textbooks on quality management exist for students in the health professions. Even fewer meet the learning needs of emerging healthcare managers. Refining the Google search to “healthcare quality textbooks” decreased the number of results by 98 percent. Selecting the best textbook for a course is a challenge for most educators. This task is even more challenging when many options are available and equally daunting when there are few. Educators in the health professions need specialized content; as a result, they have fewer textbook choices than their counterparts in general education and other professional disciplines. The number of students pursuing specialized healthcare programs also limits educators’ choices; fewer students purchase specialized textbooks, limiting the funds available for textbook develop- ment. In particular, educators who develop foundation courses on healthcare quality manage- ment can attest to the scarcity of textbooks appropriate in scope and content. This book fills the near-void of textbook options for students pursuing healthcare education at the undergraduate level. Students and educators now have a book filled with case studies and examples that discuss and illustrate the basic principles and techniques for measuring, monitoring, reporting, and improving the delivery and management of healthcare services.
