Book Description

Explore the evolution of organization theory in the health care sector

Advances in Health Care Organization Theory, 2nd Edition, introduces students in health administration to the fields of organization theory and organizational behavior and their application to the management of health care organizations. The book explores the major health care developments over the past decade and demonstrates the contribution of organization theory to a deeper understanding of the changes in the delivery system, including the historic passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Taking both a micro and macro view, editors Stephen S. Mick and Patrick D. Shay, collaborate with a roster of contributing experts to compile a comprehensive volume that covers the latest in organization theory. Topics include:

  • Institutional and neo-institutional theory

  • Patient-centered practices and organizational culture change

  • Design and implementation of patient-centered care management teams

  • Hospital-based clusters as new organizational structures

  • Application of social network theory to health care
