In Project Management for Healthcare, 3rd Edition, author David Shirley provides healthcare professionals with a structured framework for planning, executing, and closing organizational initiatives. Published by CRC Press, this textbook connects established project management standards directly to the operational demands of clinical environments and health system administration.

This edition incorporates revised alignment with the Project Management Institute's PMBOK Guide, Seventh Edition. The chapters systematically explore value delivery systems, essential performance domains, and customized tailoring methods. Readers examine how to adapt overarching project governance models to fit specific institutional requirements, operational constraints, and departmental workflows across diverse healthcare settings.

A dedicated chapter analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to evaluate project team responses during periods of severe institutional stress. The textbook also details the practical application of Agile methodologies in healthcare, offering targeted support for healthcare professionals seeking to increase operational adaptability in fast-paced medical projects.
