Even though this book in one edition or another has been in existence for 32 years, the use of behavior technology in the workplace is still in its infancy. Since the fundamental laws of behavior don't change, those who learn to apply this technology successfully, will have a clear performance advantage over those who don't.

Performance management, often referred to as process management, is a strategy that can be used to achieve an optimum mix of quality, safety, patient satisfaction and solvency. The basis of performance management is the effective use of resources, as measured by quantifying processes and outcomes using key performance indicators (KPIs) – core measures that gauge the performance of an organization in particular areas. There is more to performance management than selecting a few KPIs from a list and feeding them into a graphical dashboard system. It’s about behavior change, leadership, and vision. Written for administrators, clinical staff, process improvement managers and information technology personnel of healthcare organizations, this second edition provides the knowledge necessary to provide the leadership and vision for a performance measurement initiative. This practical resource provides a high-level review of the quality/safety initiatives in healthcare, describes the implementation process from an IT perspective, and offers high-level clinical, financial and cultural details. It features an extensive listing of clinical and non-clinical KPIs: a glossary including financial, medical, and operational terms; and appendices of organizations and sources of indicators and benchmarks.

Praise for Performance Management "We are witnessing a convergence among advanced management concepts and practices. Performance management is a means to pull it all together, to understand the strengths and limitations of each management practice and leverage it for competitive advantage. Cokins' book walks us through all this in a manner that makes something confusing much less so. There is no one right answer for any situation.

It's not just about measuring!" ―John F. Morrow, CPA, AICPA Vice President, The New Finance "Gary Cokins has articulated the '411' of performance management.

Performance management, often referred to as process management, is a strategy that a healthcare facility can employ to achieve high levels of quality, safety, and end user satisfaction, as well as financial solvency. The basis of performance management is the effective use of resources, as measured through key performance indicators (KPIs),. There is more to performance management than selecting a few KPIs from a list and feeding them into a graphical dashboard system. Written for CIOs and senior IT managers, this practical resource encourages the leadership and vision needed for a performance measurement initiative. It provides a high-level review of the quality/safety initiatives in healthcare, describes the implementation process from an IT perspective, and offers high-level clinical, financial, and cultural details. It also features an extensive listing of clinical and non-clinical KPIs; a glossary including financial, medical, and operational terms; and appendices of organizations and sources of indicators and benchmarks.

This book is about the design and implementation of effective and successful performance management systems. In other words, it focuses on research-based findings and up-to-date applications that help increase an organization s talent pool. Performance management is ongoing and cyclical; however, for pedagogical reasons, the book needs to follow a linear structure. Because performance observation, evaluation, and improvement are ongoing processes, some concepts and practices may be introduced early in a cursory manner, but receive more detailed treatment in later sections. In addition, many issues such as training of raters and employee development will be discussed in multiple chapters. So, you will see that several chapters may refer to similar issues. When this happens, content included in more than one chapter will be cross-referenced. Finally, this book focuses on best practices and describes the necessary steps to create a top-notch performance management system. As a result of practical constraints and lack of knowledge about system design and implementation, many organizations cut corners and do not have systems that follow best practices. Environmental and political issues (e.g., goals of raters may not be aligned with goals of the organization) also play a role. Because the way in which systems are implemented in practice is often not close to the ideal system, the book includes numerous examples from actual organizations to illustrate how systems are implemented, given actual situational constraints.

Even though this book in one edition or another has been in existence for 32 years, the use of behavior technology in the workplace is still in its infancy. Since the fundamental laws of behavior don't change, those who learn to apply this technology successfully, will have a clear performance advantage over those who don't.
