The strategic planning of a hospital administration

The strategic planning of a hospital administration

Abstract

Hospital administration and management are an integral part of the health system, and it requires devotion and leadership to attain the expected goals. While most hospitals have a functioning hospital administration and management that sets them apart in leadership, it is at times a challenge if the wrong individual is at the helm. Moreover, the presence of hospital management is not only influential in the achievement of the set goals but also assist in the implementation of reforms. In this case, a health practitioner charged with the management of a hospital requires traits such as communication, a source of motivation to the nurses, as well as an individual who is hands-on and inspires employees to better themselves. Overall, the presence of an associate hospital administrator who understands the system not only encourages others to push and attain services that favor patients. The strategic planning of a hospital administration requires a collaborative effort to achieve reforms that are set by a facility to improve efficiency.

Hospital Administration

Alonso, J. M., Clifton, J., & Díaz-Fuentes, D. (2015). The impact of New Public Management on efficiency: An analysis of Madrid’s hospitals. Health Policy, 119(3), 333-340.

The emergence of public health reforms in Madrid began with the understanding that the current system was not viable in delivering of the quality care to the patients. Moreover, the management of public resources and reforms requires efficiency and transparency. In most cases, the lack of substantial data is a result of poor management that corrupts the system and prevents the achievement of efficient service delivery. Also, the case of Madrid shows that most hospitals in the area are not compliant to the set regulations, and they cannot play a critical role in reforms since they are not approved. On the other hand, the operations of management formulas do not necessarily increase efficiency, but they set a road map to be followed, and this increases the feasibility of changes. Therefore, the management of the hospital is reflective of the outcomes, and a health facility that is not efficient needs to be evaluated from the top to gauge the goodwill of the executives to effect change that assists in patient-centered care.

The Philippines has experienced immense changes in its healthcare systems with the most current reforms aimed at developing universal health care that is patient-centered. Moreover, the use of decentralized systems not only assists in developing systems that can impact patients’ lives but also increase their quality of life. Overall, the study shows that the lack of awareness is not only significant to developing a sustainable system but also one that reflects the needs of society and patients. While the study shows that diseases that are transmitted by animals and affect humans are a result of a lack of comprehensive treatment and reliable nurses, it is also a case of misunderstanding of diseases such as rabies and the outcome of the disease in humans.

The presence of healthcare management information and the ability to use the system towards the improvement of services is significant in improving the quality of life while the interrogation of the hospital health system indicates that the level of accounting for administration and other financial requirements is critical to the development of a robust system. The significance of understanding the health systems not only assists in eliminating the challenges that lie in the operations in a hospital setting but also in supporting roles and responsibilities of nurses in the delivery of services. Moreover, the requirement of associating nurse roles with their educational skills in support of data retrieval, the system is not only robust and functional, but it is also managed in a way that assists in improving the quality of life.

According to the WHO, the value of health and nutrition is a significant aspect of the health system, and it forms part of administrative issues of the database that the Philippines is currently facing. Additionally, the increase in the level of households that cannot afford a decent meal and the presence of administrative database shows that there are challenges that occur at the household level as well as the hospital setting. Also, the study shows that the issue of poverty is not only an issue of diet and nutrition, but it also hinders the possibility of a good livelihood, and this is mainly dependent on the economic status of the country. Philippines had been cited as an economically growing nation. Still, the low-income earners lack basic services such as education, healthcare, and food that need to be addressed by the presence of administrative systems that tackle the issues at hand.

The study that was undertaken for purposed of gauging the turnover intentions that occurs among nurses employed in the Philippines shows that factors are dependent on the level of education and an individual’s satisfaction at the workplace. Moreover, it is clear that the element of migration and nurse turnover in the Philippines is subject to factors such as work stress, job satisfaction, and traits of a nurse that determines their outlook in the career. While the element of age may play a critical role in the high turnover of nurses at the workplace, it is factors such as lack of morale and low pay. This prompts most nurses to migrate to other regions that have better pay, and they play as an intervention in assisting them to manage their lives while allowing them to practice in places that offer them better pay.

The study undertaken to unearth the value of organizational commitment in the turnover of nurses in the Philippines shows that the challenge lies in the lack of competent and reliable management that not only hinders the growth of nurses but also their careers. In most cases, the level of migration that is associated with nurses and the high turnover rates are as a result of the lack of organizational commitment and management practices that favor them. According to the study, the hundreds of nurses that took part in the study asserted that the high turnover in the sector is a result of lack of motivation and low morale from the management that contributes to burnout due to overworking and force them to move to better places. Overall, the lack of management that can support nurses is detrimental to their performance and the delivery of patient-centered care.

The improvement of health efficiency requires scrutiny of hospital administration systems to assess their feasibility n allowing for medical reforms. In most cases, the present reforms that are fronted in line with patient-centered care are not sustainable, while others are too costly for the system to absorb. Resultantly, the level of efficiency in a hospital setting is lowered while the quality of care of patients is at stake, and there are no guarantee that such reforms would improve the situation. For instance, the development and implementation of reforms are aimed at improving the health sector, . Still, it is not always the case as the lack of efficiency in the administrative management, which leads to poor services and low output among employees. Overall, the improvement of operation in a hospital setting needs to encompass all stakeholders and enhance a holistic approach to solutions and reforms.

Teamwork in the hospital setting is significant as it allows division of labor and specialization depending on an individual’s strengths and preferences at work. According to the authors of the article, teamwork assists in patients’ safety through the improvement of their functions and the provision of evidence that shows that various perceptions at work. While the management of commitment and patient safety is at the forefront of improving health services, the results of the study show that the organization of the hospital facility based on teamwork. The significance of cooperation in the hospital setting is not only beneficial to the commitment of hospital management but also in improving the welfare of patients. Overall, the improvement of workers’ safety will be integral in creating a workplace that is flexible for all and ensuring that teamwork is utilized for purposes of leadership and management of patients’ well-being.

The health sector is very much in need of healthcare administration, and emergency preparedness is essential in ensuring that professionals operate under the laid down regulations. While several man-made disasters occur and cause disruption of the healthcare system, the operations of the organization are bound by the regulations and education that has been provided by the relevant bodies on emergency services. Moreover, the collection of data as per the study shows that healthcare management programs are significant to the development of sustainable health systems and improving the quality of life of patients. In the case of graduate healthcare programs, they are dedicated to the collection of information of patients and use it to gauge the level of emergency preparedness of hospitals. Furthermore, the survey echoes the use of past studies that indicate that hospital administration is at the core of any healthcare system, and it assists in creating a faculty that integrates academic engagements and medical practice.

The study is a mixed-methods analysis in regard to the role of nurses in the achievement of universal health care in the Philippines and the level of expertise that managing resources. Moreover, the level of intake of health insurance and the presence of working systems not only assists in the achievement of universal health services but also in the development of systems that are beneficial to the patient through the use of patient-centered care. The achievements that have been made in the Philippines in line with achieving universal health are critical in developing systems that are sustainable and can change the intake of healthcare by all. While the study concludes that the contribution of citizens in the achievement of patient-centered care is integral, it is clear that pragmatic change in the health sector requires a holistic approach from all stakeholders.

The achievement of universal health requires the development of systems and operations that are channeled towards patient-centered care. While the universal coverage can be implemented based on the available resources and the purpose of preventive measures that may be required to enhance well-being of patients. Moreover, the limitation of achieving universal health lies in the lack of goodwill among nurses and other health practitioners to benefit the patients. The hospital reforms that are viable from a hospital setting should be considerate of the patients, and health stakeholders while creating sustainable change that will assist in eliminating the high cost of medication. Overall, the management practices that support a hospital in achieving universal health mist integrate reforms and should rely on human resource for a successful transition.

The social development associated with the evaluation of social morbidity and the ability of a hospital facility to accommodate patients’ needs. While the article analyses the value of administration models in debunking the value of strategic planning in a community setting, it is clear that health concerns are best addressed when there is a high level of collaborating among health players and stakeholders that care about the system. Moreover, the level of planning and implementation of duties in the hospital setting serves as a reminder that the administration of service in a health facility is conducted with the aim of benefiting the patient. Moreover, the phases of the presence of interventions and concerns that are put up the development of administration not only assist in ensuring that equity and transparency of the system.

Leadership is an integral aspect of managing operations in an organization that allows for deliberations, and in the healthcare service, it is even more demanding as it allows supervision of nursing staff. While leadership in any other context may be easy to manage, in a hospital setting, it is comprehensive as it requires containing employees and patients’ and this can be tiresome. In most cases, nurse leaders have to exhibit compassionate towards their patients while exercising efficiency in the hospital setting. Also, the hospital administration has to ensure that the person charged with leadership exhibits traits such as proper communication skills and is responsible enough to advocate for the rights of the employees to ensure they are represented properly.

The level of impact that arises from collaborative efforts and the working space in a hospital setting, as outlined in the symposium paper, shows that tee level of impact that occurs as a result of the willingness to alter the status quo. Moreover, the change that occurs as a result of the development of strategy and compelling evidence on reforms shows that it needs to be a comprehensive move that catalyzes into the establishment of functioning systems. While the presence of systems is a critical aspect in trailing evidence and operations in a healthcare setting, it also allows efficiency and accountability through the presence of responsible leadership. Overall, the adherence to instructions and giving the right answers to assignments is not only a solution to reforms in healthcare but also provides room for the achievement of set goals.
