Product Description

So much of a medical organization s success rides on the leadership, conduct, and performance of its physicians. How does a health care organization engage its physicians to lead by example? And how does a physician in the midst of 25 appointments, 30 phone messages, hospital rounds, and the details of managing a clinical practice do what needs to be done to foster satisfaction and loyalty among patients? Practicing Excellence eloquently answers these questions. Stephen C. Beeson, MD, has created a brilliant guide to implementing physician leadership and behaviors that will create a high-performance workplace built on collaboration, commitment, purpose, and making a difference in the lives of the patients it serves.

Customer Reviews

strange reviews
what a lot of similar reviews all with top ratings and by reviewers with no other reviews

A review of basic professionalism
Not at all what I expected from the description. The majority of this book turned out to be a review of basic professionalism, rather than an introduction to how quality improvement concepts could be applied to an individual's practice. The book is perhaps suitable for a "Doctoring" course (introduction to clinical medicine for 1 and 2nd year medical students), but I found the tone of the book often grating and lacking in depth. I suspect there are better books out there for this. While a review of the basics can often be helpful, the simplistic presentation makes it very hard for me to see how any practicing physician would find this book useful.

Doctors Get This Book!
As the president of a large multi-hospital hospital system, I've seen many books come and go over the years. Some made a ripple, but none of them seemed to make a lasting difference. Dr Beeson's book is an exception! I've seen his book talked about among a large and diverse maedical staff of more than 2000. The book is written by a practicing physician (a key ingredent for doctors reeading the book), for physicians. The book seems to really resonate with physicians---it makes sense.
