1. Burrows M, Dyson R, Jackson P, Saxton H. Management for Hospital Doctors. London: Butterworth Heinemann, 1994. This is one of the few books that gives perspectives of both management and clinicians. At the end of most chapters, there is a section that tries to demonstrate the impact of management programs on the practice of medicine. This book is specifically related to a situation in England, which makes it somewhat less useful for North American readers.
2. Anthony RN, Young DW. Management Control in Nonprofit Organizations, 5th edn. Burr Ridge, IL: Irwin, 1994. This book outlines in great detail the financial management and control systems in place in hospitals. It provides all the information necessary for clinicians to understand the accounting processes within most hospitals, and should be read by all individuals interested in assuming a role in medical administration.
