According to author Michael Rindler, "Every hospital has the ability to reduce its costs by at least 5 percent annually without harming clinical quality or customer service." In Strategic Cost Reduction: Leading Your Hospital to Success, he reveals a proven, step-by-step leadership plan for managing costs at all types of hospitals in any location-from small rural hospitals to large urban academic medical centers. With a focus on leadership approaches rather than financial techniques, this book explains how to alleviate the anxiety of cost reduction efforts and engage all managers, physicians, and employees in creating a financially healthy organization. You will learn practical strategies for building a cost-reduction culture, uncovering cost-saving opportunities, promoting accountability at all levels, and monitoring results.
