Management on the Mend: The Executive Guide to System Transformation

New Book Available Now

We are pleased to announce the release of

Management on the Mend: The Executive Guide to System Transformation.

Five years after his debut book, On the Mend, showed how a large, cradle-to-grave health system revolutionized the way care is delivered, John Toussaint, MD, returns with news for healthcare leaders. There is a clear framework for success for such a transformation. And senior leaders need to be far more intimately involved. Management on the Mend offers you the roadmap to get there.

"Management on the Mend is a supremely well-written, fast-moving, example-filled guide to transforming healthcare organizations. But the truth is the book should be required reading for any executive trying to radically improve the way his or her company operates..."

-Rick Wartzman, executive director of the Drucker Institute and Fortune columnist
