Time Management for Health Care ProfessionalsAbstract: Health care managers need to plan, look ahead, and be future oriented in order to adapt and cope with the anxieties and demands of the health care environment. The management of time is one process by which administrators can achieve organizational goals and personal agendas that will enable them to be more effective in their personal and professional lives. This book deals with the following factors within the process of effective time management: planning, delegation, productivity, managerial roles, objectives-priorities, time traps, and stress. In addition to the theory and practice that have been interwoven with each chapter, the final chapter presents actual interviews with three executive directors of major metropolitan hospitals to discover how they effectively manage their time.
