My Thoughts About Management By Buchbinder & Shanks

In the medical field there have been a lot of technological advances and making health records electronic is one of them. The days of having a paper health record are almost obsolete. An electronic health record keeps a patient’s medical information and history on a computer which is accessible to more people in less time. I will explain how the continuity, communication, coordination and accountability of the electronic health record can help the medical office. I will explain what can be included in the electronic health record. As an advocate of the electronic health record I will also explain some disadvantages to the electronic system.

Everything is computerized, from managing the

Encourage the use of computer-generated or electronic medication administration records. Plan for the implementation of computerized prescriber order entry systems. Consider the use of machine-readable code (i.e., bar coding) in the medication administration process. Use computerized drug profiling in the pharmacy. Be a demanding customer of pharmacy system software; encourage vendors to incorporate and assist in implementing an adequate standardized set of checks into computerized hospital pharmacy systems (e.g., screening for duplicate drug therapies, patient allergies, potential drug interactions, drug/lab interactions, dose ranges, etc.)”.

He was very transparent in his communication and supported those high performing individuals on his team to the degree that 4 of us have received promotions since his departure. He truly listened to his employees and offered empathy when appropriate. He also provided critical feedback when necessary but in a productive manner. He was simple in his messaging as evidenced by his notorious subject lines in email that summarized the action item or the body of the email. Most importantly he fostered an environment of mutual trust. Not only was he effective in his communication to his team but he was effective in his cross functional communication. He retired 3 years ago but many people still quote his, “Bazanisms” or his nuggets of wisdom he would offer or so many of us. We also covet his ability to deescalate any situation with his communication style. On occasion, I could use one of his friendly reminders to “PICK UP THE PHONE” and call a business partner versus continuing an escalating email

This system includes the patient’s history, their medication and allergies, and the notes that’s were token by their doctor of physician. This system can also be integrated into the EHR software, which could put health care organizations at risk and potentially violate privacy protocols. Buying electronic material will have a high cost in the ambulatory environment, although it could be extremely effective. Creating and updating patient’s medical records would take some pressure off the doctors and physicians who are not capable of analyzing electronic material on new devices. In order to secure and record patients effectively, hospitals would need the right equipment. Hence, it would increase the cost of the hospital expenses. In addition, new EHR ambulatory care will take time to train people and understand the capability of the software. As you make sure that the new technology is being used in a system that practitioners have already used. Another cost of integrating EHR’s is the maintenance cost which could be costly. A part of the maintenance costs would be exchanging and upgrading the hardware within the technology. In addition, providers need to support the usage of EHR’s in health care organizations to improve the quality of

A successful and societally beneficial healthcare organization must have a leader who has a sense of right and wrong, exhibits restraint, dispenses wisdom, and is a visionary that guides the organization to reach its maximum potential. The role of a successful leader is dependent upon employees that embrace the organization’s culture, mission, and direction.

He has brilliant communication skills, he is very confident in speaking to the client and getting the job done in short time by communicating the right information in best possible way, this ability is remarkable often when he facilitates the conference call that involves various team members and managers sometimes for some critical issues affecting production of our client.

He was a good manager but not a leader as he was exceptional planner and controller but was unable to have a good relationship with the team members. All of us never felt motivated by him to work.
