Industry expert John Salyer lends 30 years of clinical and management experience to bring you a comprehensive
handbook for respiratory care department managers. Not just another dry management book, this text is filled with
useful case studies, practical examples, documents, references, and footnotes, as well as Salyer's own Immutable
Truths, such as �management and leadership are not the same thing,� and �directors/managers are often the last
to know what�s going on in their departments�. This guide is focused on measurement theory and offers practical,
real life examples of how to measure the performance of a respiratory care department. Features include valuable
tables and figures, practical appendices, basic forms all respiratory care managers need, an extensive list of
resources and weblinks, a list of common mistakes made by managers, and more. This is an ideal resource for all
respiratory care department managers and all those interested in becoming one!
