Abstract :
Hospital managers and administrators are the key motivators for the success of each inpatient healthcare institution.1,2 Recent demographic and financial changes, rapid transformation in the healthcare systems, and a growing need for enhancing the healthcare quality have led hospital managers to increase efficiency and effectiveness of care delivery and patient satisfaction.3 Thus, the management of hospital has evolved over the years, and this is why training and development programs become increasingly important. Despite good intentions, training programs targeting hospital managers are only effective if grounded on the best practices. These training programs must be sustainable and continuously be monitored and updated.
