Individual practices are facing new challenges due to advances in medical technology, increasing regulation and the changing expectations of young doctors. Today, family-friendly working models, cooperation and a good work-life balance are in demand, and healthcare networks are responding to this with delegation models, structured treatment paths and efficient practice processes. This allows doctors to concentrate more on their core medical tasks, while management, administration and supplementary care services are taken over by qualified specialist staff. This book shows in a practical way how a healthcare network is planned, designed and implemented - from strategy to operational management. The target group: Healthcare stakeholders who want to shape care; doctors; management, executives, consultants and employees from healthcare companies; students, postgraduates and lecturers in degree programmes such as healthcare management, health economics and public health.
