Review
"I have adopted this text and have used it for the past two years. I believe it to be the best on the market."
"I did not see that there were any weak chapters; nor did my students in an evaluation of the text; they liked it very much, found it very helpful in the course . . . I find that the students liked it a lot because it was so readable and well organized with good cases and questions."
"I have adopted this text because it is specific to Healthcare. My previous text was just HR in general, and too many of the examples and the information did not apply. I have not had any complaints or negative comments from any of the students. I also have part time professors using this text (5 classroom and 10 on line) and they have not made any negative comments about the book. They all said they were happy to have an HR book that focuses on Healthcare." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

academic overview,
By
This review is from: Healthcare Human Resource Management (Hardcover)
This is a classroom review of healthcare human resources. It lacks case examples of organization structures or design strategy in a hospital. It misses out on any review on performance management or metrics or balanced scoreboards. It misses out on workforce analysis and recruiting strategies, critical in an industry with shortages. From a business world perspective, this book is very limited in value in healthcare human capital management.

This review is from: Healthcare Human Resource Management (Hardcover)
From the description the book was- used like new. The pages were marked up throughout the book and hightlighting was very distracting. I would have appreciated if that was acknowledged in the seller's message. I assumed "like new" meant "like new". Silly me.

Competent Work - But Not Inspired,
By
This review is from: Healthcare Human Resource Management (Hardcover)
The healthcare field faces its latest crisis: staffing shortages resulting in upward pressure on compensation and quality of work life issues. HR is targeted for its inability to rise to the occasion and "get the bodies in here." Hiring standards and staffing ratios are pressured.Studer tells us what we need to do to resolve these immediate concerns, with a demonstrable track record of success. But even the name of the most innovative and clear thinker in health care is absent from this book. The book will migrate through the "need to know" dimensions of health care HR practice - its sponsorship by the American Hospital Association assures that. But competency stops way short of inspiration. In an industry in crying need for transformational leadership, don't esxpect it from the AHA.
