Editorial Reviews

Presents 75 cases and a response to each, intended for use in both the initial training and continuing education of supervisors and middle managers in health care organizations. The majority of the case studies were developed from the experiences of supervisors and managers actively employed in health care settings. Most of the case responses came from editors and readers of the book, and are designed to encourage further critical thinking on the cases. The text can be used for self-study, in small groups, or as part of a supervisory development class. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
