One approach to quality in healthcare is total hospital quality management. It helps hospital staff to focus on the common goal of delivering the best possible health care through a well-defined program. It requires a long-term commitment but it can yield financial benefits and reductions in the cost of mistakes.
This imaginary letter to a hospital president examines current literature on management and outlines those traits that are applicable to the healthcare field. According to the findings, effective managers have a flair for communication; are persistent, reliable, and coherent; have positive self-regard; focus their energy and attention only on the task at hand; and neither fear nor avoid failure. In addition, creativity through personal commitment should be stressed. Managers must learn that it is not only acceptable to care about others, but that it is a necessary prerequisite for effective management.
