Yashoda as an organization
Yashoda Hospitals is a full fledged corporate organization in its structure. The hierarchy of the organization is headed by the Management – Dr. G Surender Rao, Dr. G Ravinder Rao and Dr. G Devender Rao. The Board of Directors is directly under the management and is the body in charge of the running of the hospital. The Medical Superintendent or Chief Medical Administrator
Richard Veller, the new CFO for Union Medical Center, began to change the operations of their management. Richard Veller looked to change UMC to an industrial system, which meant that the hospital would view cases as products. Just like any ordinary business, these products would have cost objects and would require an accounting system. In order to allocate costs appropriately, UMC was required to organize their cases into Diagnosis Related Groups to create a functional management control system. These changes brought certain internal issues into the spotlight. If solutions are not found, the hospital will not be able to implement their plans.
After reading the case study it seems that one problem between the hospitals and upper management seems to be lack of communication. It seems that Singh and Mrs. Manzoni have not affectively communicated to the hospital administrators what the goals of the company are and what is best for the company. I believe that Mrs. Singh and the hospital administrators value the importance of two different things. Mrs. Singh values the importance of correct data entry into the firm’s management information system. While, the hospital administrators seem to be placing more value on the importance of patient services. In addition, it seems Mrs. Singh does not know what
In order to eliminate the inefficiencies witnessed in many public and private hospitals that serve a number of patients, an integrated approach to handling the daily workload is necessary. There is need for all departments within the hospital to work closely together in ensuring more effective and efficient service deliveries. In this paper, a planned change is going to be carried out involving designing a new system that incorporates all the departments within the hospital. This includes the surgery department, pediatrics department, dentistry department, nursing department, pharmacy departments, laboratory and testing department, X-ray and Physiotherapy departments, Equipment maintenance and Engineering department, Information Technology

Each organization must have a structure of the authority defined and distributed to help in the organization of the tasks and functions with the aim of achieving the objectives of the organization. An organization structure offers details of the formal structure of the authority in the organization. It is essential to study the organization structure of the organization in order to understand the functioning of the organization. This paper examines the organization structure of the nursing department in Kingston Centre hospital. The paper will look at the nursing and the nursing service management department in the hospital (Burke, 2013). The hospital is selected because I have been able to interact with the facility many times. I have been able to work in this department hence I understand the organization structure and the services offered in the department.
Hospitals have organizational structures that allows them to carry out their duties efficiently and successfully. What separates the organizational structure of a healthcare organization from a business, essentially that the hospital 's organization is chiefly founded on the amalgamation of medical and administrative staff (Carayon, et al., 2014). The organizational structure of the twenty-first century solutions in health care hospitals involves, both divisional and hierarchical structure. In the of the chain of command hierarchy, there are various levels of professional’s that fall under other levels within the facility, and each staff member is organized in regards to departments that are related to their (KSA’s) skills, attributes and job duties (Carayon, et al., 2014). Hospital organization philosophies is based on development of values and ethics, with the understanding on moral principles relating to human conduct. These systems are comprised with the processes in decision making and determining the best actions to consider between the difficult alternatives when pertaining to patient care.
Throughout this course I have learned about the various challenges that impede productivity and efficiency at today’s hospitals. These issues facing the modern healthcare organization come in varying forms from technological, staffing, and financial to name a few. There are no limits to what hospitals can face in these modern technologically savvy times. Below are the major issues that today’s hospitals are facing, though there are many facets to these topics it will be described as best as possible to meet overall challenges:
“Running a health care organization is a team sport. It is very important that all members of the team-whether on the medical staff, in management or on the board-understand the role of governance and what constitutes effective governance” (Arnwine, 2002). Running a hospital is a difficult task. Several factors need to be seriously thought of and considered in every decision and undertaking. Unfortunately, all the three important factors in governing a hospital is not always in harmony. As likened to a team sport, if the three major components are not working with each other as a team, there will be tension and a great divide will be experienced. And often times, the patients will be in the middle and will be greatly impacted. This writer believes that there are several factors that contribute to the tension that usually exists among the medical staff, the board and administration. One factor is the disconnect, where each entity is not seeing each other eye to eye and their visions may be different from each other. Another factor may be the lack of communication in order to bridge the gap and to build a respectful and a relationship wherein there is trust for each end every member of the group. Often times, the medical staff is concerned with ensuring that patients are cared for in a manner that their practice is protected as well as the patients are getting the appropriate care. On the other hand, the board of trustees may be focused in ensuring that that

Since the hospital is a community based acute care hospital, there are numerous subunits. Under the president of Hospital AB and Health Center, the total organization is divided into seven major units which are controlled by seven senior vice presidents. Each unit under the senior vice president is further subdivided into sub units according to the services being provided. The hospital has a distinct subunit configuration for the nursing departments. Each unit is under either a vice president or a director. The major subunits are perioperative services, nursing practice and education, behavior health services, heart center, out patient women services and perinatal clinic, inpatient women services and pharmacy. Each of these major subunits is further subdivided based on the services being provided. The senior vice president for all these units also oversees the programs for patient safety, patient satisfaction and joint commission accreditation. The departments of imaging services, rehabilitation services, cancer center, breast center and quality management comes under another senior vice president (unknown author, 2005).

Following the successful completion of my pre-registration house officer rotation at the Baptist Medical Centre, Ogbomosho in 2004, I was employed as a medical officer at Emmanuel hospital in Jebba. I have worked very hard in this district hospital and have acquired a wide and varied exposure to the prevailing health problems in the wider community. I have come face to face with the challenging statistics pertaining to the health of people due to non-integrated healthcare services which is significantly attributed to poor health information system. The poor health information system has led to so many medical errors, poor
The next layer will be filled by the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). CEO will provide a link between the functional departments and the board of directors; he will be responsible for presenting the aims and objectives of the hospital to the board of directors and designing strategies to achieve them. There will be an administrative assistant who would be responsible for assisting the CEO in his work by providing him a detailed action plan and keeping him informed about the progress. The next layer will consist of the functional units of the organization which would include financial executives, health informatics, pathway service providers, community relations and a research centre. There would be many other sub functions but they will all be

It is there for imperative to have separate specialist for general administrative and human resource functions in hospitals. Secondly with the tremendous expansion in health service it has become essential to have specialists or experts not only in two fields but also in other fields of hospital administration so the maximum efficiency can be achieved at the maximum cost. Hence the need for better planning, organizing, staffing, & coordinating hospitals can overemphasized. Hospitals administration can no longer be left to change in the hands of a person who is “jack- of all traders and master of –
