Shortell and Kaluzny's Healthcare Management : Organization Design and Behavior by Stephen Shortell

Completely updated to address the challenges faced by modern health care organizations, the sixth edition of SHORTELL AND KALUZNY'S HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT: ORGANIZATION DESIGN AND BEHAVIOR offers a more global perspective on how the United States and other countries address issues of health and health care. Written by internationally recognized and respected experts in the field, the new edition continues to bring a systemic understanding of organizational principles, practices, and insight to the management of health services organizations. Based on state-of-the-art organizational theory and research, the text emphasizes application and challenges you to provide a solution or a philosophical position. Coverage includes topics ranging from pay for performance and information technology to ethics and medical tourism and expands upon a major theme of the fifth edition: health care leaders must effectively design and manage health care organizations while simultaneously influencing and adapting to changes in environmental context.

Dr. Elizabeth Bradley is an Associate Professor in the School for Graduate Studies at SUNY Empire State College. She received her Ph.D. in school psychology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and she is a licensed psychologist and nationally certified as a school psychologist. Prior to teaching at Empire State College, Dr. Bradley worked as a school psychologist and conducted research in the areas of substance use interventions, child neuropsychology, and school-based interventions for at risk youth. Over the past five years, Dr. Bradley's research focus has been on the use of online simulations in pre-service teacher training. More specifically, Dr. Bradley has investigated the use of simulations for teacher training in the areas of classroom management, identifying at-risk students, supporting LGBTQ students, and bullying prevention. Her most recent five journal publications have been on topics related to the use of computer simulations in teacher education. In addition, ten of her recent conference presentations have been on the topic of computer simulations in teacher education. Dr. Bradley was recently awarded a SUNY grant to locate and evaluate computer simulations in teacher education. Dr. Bradley will conduct this research during the 2018-2019 academic year and plans to reach out to simulation creators and publishers to make connections, collect information to be included in the repository, and invite them to author a chapter in this book. The audience for this book includes higher education faculty and administrators in the area of teacher training. Students pursuing degrees in teaching would also benefit from this book, as they can find games and simulations to practice their teaching skills and become more confident before entering the classroom.
