New Book

We've added another book that was recommended by a member of our staff:

Practicing Excellence : A Physician's Manual to Exceptional Health Care (2006), by Stephen Beeson, MD.

An editorial review of the book at Amazon.com says,

"So much of a medical organization's success rides on the leadership, conduct, and performance of its physicians. How does a health care organization engage its physicians to lead by example? And how does a physician in the midst of 25 appointments, 30 phone messages, hospital rounds, and the details of managing a clinical practice do what needs to be done to foster satisfaction and loyalty among patients? Practicing Excellence eloquently answers these questions. Stephen C. Beeson, MD, has created a brilliant guide to implementing physician leadership and behaviors that will create a high-performance workplace built on collaboration, commitment, purpose, and making a difference in the lives of the patients it serves. "

A couple of back cover comments:

"This is an excellent manual and should be required reading for all physicians."
Floyd D Loop, MD, Former CEO, Cleveland Clinic


"A very practical guide. Addressed virtually all areas of push back!"
Steven Gabbe, MD, Dean, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
