Reeingineering Health Care

The Complexities of Organizational Transformation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The outcomes of the change programme add to our more general organizational knowledge about: the impact of corporate change programmes, particularly in professionalized and public sector settings; impediments and enablers of lateral organizing structures and processes; and contradictions within the New Public Management between functional and process principles for organizing.

---

Through the use of a real case study within a major NHS hospital, this book attempts to address the idea of Process Transformation in the field of health care. The authors explore three interlined themes: the models and nature or organizational change; the implementation of Business Process Reengineering or BPR and the management of contemporary public sector organizations. Process Transformation: A Case of Reengineering in Health Care, reveals the major challenges of reorganization and provides knowledge and feedback on the impact of corporate change, impediments and enablers of lateral organizing structures and contradictions between functional and process principles for organizing.
