Samenvatting:

This important volume applies the practice of professional coaching to the hospital setting specifically, imparting the authors’ rich experience of coaching healthcare providers to other coaches working within the field.

The book details how coaches can tailor their skills to the complex world of the modern hospital where physicians, nurses, medico-technical staff, managers, and administrators must carefully coordinate their efforts to be successful in high-stakes situations. It moves through the various stages of coaching, starting from the initial contact with management to the different applications of individual and team coaching, addressing common client issues including failing leadership, crisis, conflict, violence, and burnout. Each chapter includes clinical vignettes and theoretical ideas supported by field-specific research and literature. The book’s final reflection proposes changes to be considered to improve the functioning of hospital care teams, job satisfaction of healthcare professionals, and, ultimately, patient outcomes.

Coaching Phsycians and Healthcare Professionals is essential reading for professional coaches and mentors active in the hospital setting, as well as coaches in training, consultants, and all hospital professionals.
