Evidence-Based Health Care Management introduces the principles and
methods for drawing sound causal inferences in research on health
services management. The emphasis is on the application of structural
equation modeling techniques and other analytical methods to develop
causal models in health care management. Topics include causality,
theoretical model building, and model verification. Multivariate
modeling approaches and their applications in health care management
are illustrated. The primary goals of the book are to present advanced
principles of health services management research and to familiarize
students with the multivariate analytic methods and procedures now in
use in scientific research on health care management. The hope is to
help health care managers become better equipped to use causal
modeling techniques for problem solving and decision making.
Evidence-based knowledge is derived from scientific replication and
verification of facts. Used consistently and appropriately, it enables
a health care manager to improve organizational performance. Causal
inference in health care management is a highly feasible approach to
establishing evidence-based knowledge that can help navigate an
organization to high performance. This book introduces the principles
and methods for drawing causal inferences in research on health
services management.
