Seven lessons in medical management.
In more than 15 years of functioning as a medical director, addressing the needs and wants of patients, physicians, hospitals, and ancillary health care suppliers, I have accumulated pieces of ¿wisdom¿ that I now feel I should share with others in medical management. The concepts are fairly simple, but they are of significant value in the ¿real-life¿ management of people. The seven simple ideas outlined in this article are not meant to be the end-all to management philosophy. Books have been written about each idea, and there are hundreds of good ideas in many sources I do not touch on here. However, I have found these seven items of significant value in dealing with others and hope others find them similarly useful.
