Essentials of Strategic Planning in Healthcare

Essentials of Strategic Planning in Healthcare, 3rd Edition, by Jeffrey P. Harrison, is a textbook designed to guide readers through developing and implementing healthcare strategic plans.

The volume examines the role of leadership and the influence of organizational culture before presenting core planning techniques, data resources, and strategic initiatives across healthcare services. It adopts a futurist perspective to address shifts in regulatory standards, quality requirements, and emerging healthcare innovations.

A recurring case study allows readers to step into the role of strategic planners and practice the complete planning sequence. Study questions and exercises in each chapter support university courses in healthcare strategic management.
