Quality Management of Hospitals

ABOUT THE BOOK The focus of this book is at the academic discipline level and also at the individual level. Exploration requires more than one discipline, but due to compartmentalization, every discipline works in a limited area of knowledge. That is why it does not suffice to meet the requirement of the problem with a single or compartmentalized system of knowledge. In order to give justice to the issue undertaken interdisciplinary or holistic approach to knowledge is always appropriate and productive. At the individual level more and more people from various disciplines will be inducted or accommodated in the interdisciplinary system of approach to knowledge building. The overall benefits of interdisciplinary system of knowledge building will have a comprehensive and elevated scope. In the name of specialization, less and less inclusiveness is achieved whereas in case of interdisciplinarity it moves in reverse order, from narrow to greater and higher state. Hence more and more people from varied disciplines shall be accommodated in the stream of knowledge building, leading to inclusion of the individual, with varied potential, in to the system. This book will study the higher education system in India, at a macro level, leading to the studies of streams from the social sciences to the professional, ultimately revealing the greater outputs o f interdisciplinary or holistic knowledge building processes. It shall exemplify this process with a curricular fabric integrating the social sciences and pure sciences including technology and come up with a curricula that creates holistic human resources with a balance between the mental and the manual and thus leading to inclusiveness of the individual and social variety. This book shall be of use to policy makers, academicians, researches and students.
