Reviews about Managing Patient Flow in Hospitals: Strategies and Solutions (2):

Excellent books.
komandante
Dr. Litvak and his co-authors have put together a great toolkit to speed up a patient's encounter with a hospital. Complete with charts, graphs and how-to details, after some study of the material, any hospital manager should be able to improve patient flow and satisfaction at the same time. This is not a compliance checklist for surveys by the Joint Commission. This is revenue cycle improvement at the basic level. There is some sacred cows in danger but with Healthcare Reform just months away, this is the time to improve flow.Managing Patient Flow in Hospitals: Strategies and Solutions
