Isms in Health Care Human Resources: A Concise Guide to Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was written to address the human side of health care workplaces and explore how "isms" in health care and other workplaces can reduce output and elevate costs.
After providing an overview of isms in healthcare and other workplaces, this concise text examines closely various "isms," from central tendancyism and sexualism to IQism and heterosexism while covering a range of other "isms." It then proposes strategies for intermediation for health care administrators in order to guide them in reducing "isms" in the workplace, and, as a result, increasing productivity.
