Review: I have used this book in its hard copy form for years, to prepare lectures and reference health services management concepts. I recently purchased the Kindle version, but unfortunately it crashes each time I select it in my Kindle app on Windows 10. The amazon person informed me that it has been ported to every other platform but Windows 10. I am hoping the author rectifies this issue so I can read it on my PC.

Review: Author, Peter M Ginter’s ‘The Stategic Management of Health Care Organisations’ is obviously aimed at those in management within the health services. Be it-in UK terms the NHS and Private sectors. However, for those who are based in the UK and working in the public sector, be aware, TSMOHCO is based on US health systems and therefore for those who might be employed in the medical rather than commercial side of a public system, will find much within not that useful.However, there are certainly areas which overlap in each country and in each sector. For those coming at it from a student perspective and who wish to pursue a career in Health Management, there is much in Ginter’s work which will be of interest.
