Hospital department managers rise to their level of responsibility by demonstrating clinical excellence, interpersonal and leadership skills, and attention to detail. Yet they are often frustrated by their inability to fully grasp the fundamentals of labor productivity and how to interpret and utilize the reports and tools they are provided.
For over twenty years, Keith Gott has worked with hospital managers to demystify healthcare labor productivity concepts, analyze their departmental staffing requirements, develop action plans for necessary change and utilize tools for documenting progress.
This workbook is a distillation of the terms, concepts and exercises that are employed by Mr. Gott in his classes and seminars.
This book is meant to be a WORK-book! Each chapter is followed by a review of important topics. Key chapters have exercises applying concepts both newly and previously reviewed. Solutions, not just the answers, to the exercises are provided. Readers are encouraged to highlight, annotate and write their answers herein.
Chapters include:
- Environment
- Productivity Terms and Concepts
- Calculating Productivity
- Position Control versus Productivity
- Benchmarking - Where do I Stand?
- What's in Your Toolbox?
- Managing Productivity
Purchasers of the workbook have access to online testing. These tests, taken before and after completing the workbook, enable senior managers to determine both value provided by the workbook and areas wherein their managers will require focused follow-up.
There are, two versions of the book available - Volume One (the "blue book ") and Volume Two (the "red book ").
Volume One is for hospitals and health systems that include Education & Orientation hours in "Productive Hours" calculations.
Volume Two is for hospitals and health systems that exclude Education & Orientation hours from "Productive Hours" calculations.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to MERS Goodwill, Jennings, Missouri, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
