Publisher's Synopsis
This text presents information for any clinician who is responsible for administration, management, supervision, and leadership of audiology and/or speech language pathology department. The concepts of leadership and management are presented followed by the most current and useful information on organizing audiology and speech language pathology departments, planning and designing facilities, human resources management, quality improvement, managing productivity, information systems, financial management, and marketing. With the increased emphasis on accountability and scrutiny of productivity in health care, it is imperative that clinicians - as well as students - have strong administration skills to complement their clinical skills. The basic management guidelines, checklists, sample letters and forms, along with application in the various settings in which audiology and speech language pathology programmes reside make this a survival manual for clinicians in adminstrative roles.
