Topic of Lecture: Challenges in Hospital Administration

Introduction :
Change is being driven in the developing world by the growth of the middle class, greater
demands from that middle class, and the globalization of economics.

Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:


Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


Challenges to administrative abilities have come from within the health field as well as from
the public: For instance, from
(a) business and professional leaders who were initiated into the hospital scene as trustees of
voluntary hospitals;
(b) the large number of physicians who
comprise the medical staff of today’s hospital and who are especially concerned about the
facilities and services available for the care of their patients;
(c) professional organizations which prescribe various standards of hospital operation while
granting approval to the hospitals;
(d) academicians who are concerned about matching what they teach with the requirements
of the patients and hospital administrations;
(e) labour demanding standards of employment and working conditions at least equal to if
not better than those prevailing in other industries; and
(f) trustees of the Trust Hospitals, members of Registered Society Hospitals, shareholders of
Corporate Hospitals, and others who have been their own masters and have been operating
with no restraints so far will have to face increasing professionalism threatening their power
and existence.
These professionals will bring professionalism in running the hospitals, meaning thereby
decentralization in decision making and strategic management to survive in the society. No
CEO of any hospital will be able to run his hospital without collecting sufficient funds from
his patients rather than from trustees, society members, shareholders, philanthropists etc. Of
late a new challenge is that of being environment friendly. When the international focus is on
a safe environment, hospitals which do not pay enough attention to this sensitive issue will
be eliminated from the community either through enforcement of legal regulations or
customers’ boycott. This has already begun in the West and will certainly happen here too,
perhaps within the next five to ten years.
It should be remembers that creditability and effectiveness are mutually dependent and
proportional. The Chief Executive Officer of a hospital must guard his creditability at all cost.
He must be able to provide latest technology and vision. He should push for change when it
is required in the interest of the patients, employees

Topic of Lecture: Organizing

Introduction :
Hospitals are set up with a hierarchical and divisional structure. This structure means various
levels of staff —ranging from high- to lower-level positions—are responsible for others within
their respective divisions.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


Traditional organizational structures come in four general types – functional, divisional, matrix and
flat – but with the rise of the digital marketplace, decentralized, team-based org structures are
disrupting old business models.

Organizational Structure of Hospitals


Boards of Directors
Hospitals are corporations and are therefore overseen by boards of directors. Nonprofit
hospitals have boards that often consist of influential members of health care and local
communities. Many hospitals were founded by a religious group and maintain religious
affiliation. These hospitals often include clergy and congregation leadership in their boards.

Educationally affiliated hospitals are often overseen by universities. Therefore, university


boards of trustees or regents may double as the board of directors for a hospital. Multi-
hospital systems, particularly for-profit ones, usually have one board of directors overseeing
numerous facilities.
Executives Oversee Day-to-Day Operations
Boards of directors leave it to their executives to see that their decisions are carried out and
that the day-to-day operations of the hospital are performed successfully. The chief executive
officer is the top boss responsible for everything that goes on in a hospital. However,
hospitals usually have chief nursing officers, chief medical officers, chief information officers,
chief financial officers and sometimes chief operating officers, who also carry a lot of weight.
This group of top executives forms the central core management.

Hospital Department Administrators


The top managers of each hospital department report to the core management. These people
are responsible for one type of medical or operational service. Most departments are areas of
patient care such as orthopedics, labor and delivery or the emergency department. There also
are non-patient-care departments such as food services and billing.

Clinical departments usually have large staffs, significant supply and purchasing needs and
numerous regulations they must comply with. Therefore, administrators often have assistant
administrators who help them oversee their multifaceted operations.

Patient Care Managers


Within a department, there are the people who directly oversee patient care. Nurse managers,
directors of rehabilitation services and supervising physicians have people under them who
give hands-on patient care. This level of management ensures that the staff members are
acting appropriately, giving the best care, addressing all of their duties, complying with
hospital and legal requirements and, for nurses and allied health care workers, following
physician orders.

When something goes wrong with a patient or a clinician, these people handle the problem.
They also usually oversee schedules and basic human resource functions for their employees.

Patient Service Providers


Most of a hospital is composed of service-providing staff. From nurses and physical
therapists to line cooks and laundry workers, it takes a lot of hands-on staff to make
everything happen. These people have very specific job descriptions and duties, which
hospitals need them to perform very well to ensure the safety and health of patients.

Introduction :
There are many issues arising within this complex healthcare system. Providers are facing
increased costs, regulatory changes, coding updates, inefficiencies, security issues, and disruptive
technology
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


• General Healthcare Management Problems
• IT Management Problems in Healthcare Organizations
• Financial Issues in Healthcare Organizations
• Economic Challenges in the Healthcare Industry
• Final Note on Management Problems in Healthcare Organizations
Many issues are arising within this complex healthcare system. Providers are facing increased
costs, regulatory changes, coding updates, inefficiencies, security issues, and disruptive
technology.
A key challenge is increasing interoperability between disconnected providers and
leveraging technology to make up for decreasing staff and an improved focus on value-based
care over quantity treated. This includes improving preventative approaches to managing
population health.
One interesting option to reduce costs is to outsource vital tasks to a trusted third-party
healthcare service organization. While many problems are facing the healthcare industry, the
future is bright and improving daily.

Topic of Lecture: Telemedicine

Introduction :
Telemedicine refers to the practice of caring for patients remotely when the provider and
patient are not physically present with each other. Modern technology has enabled doctors to
consult patients by using HIPAA compliant video-conferencing tools. Most robust and easy
to use telemedicine software.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


Telemedicine allows health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients at a
distance using telecommunications technology. The approach has been through a striking
evolution in the last decade and it is becoming an increasingly important part of the
American healthcare infrastructure.
Telemedicine Definition
Telemedicine can be defined as the use of technology (computers, video, phone, messaging)
by a medical professional to diagnose and treat patients in a remote location.

Applications

There are few limitations to how telemedicine can be applied. Here are a few examples of
how it is being used today.
Follow-up visits
Using health software for routine follow-up visits is not only more efficient for providers and
patients, but it also increases the likelihood of follow-up, reducing missed appointments and
improving patient outcomes.
Remote chronic disease management
The increasing rate of chronic disease is a major challenge for our health system. It is a prime
candidate for the use of telemedicine software because it makes it easier and less expensive
for patients to maintain control over their health.
Remote post-hospitalization care
One telehealth program for patients with congestive heart failure reduced 30-day hospital
readmissions by 73 percent and six-month readmissions by 50 percent.
Preventative care support
Weight loss and smoking cessation are the keys to reducing heart disease and a host of other
conditions. Telemedicine can be a valuable tool in connecting providers with patients to
make sure they get the support they need to be successful.
School based telehealth
When children become ill at school, they might visit a school nurse or be picked up by their
parents and taken to an urgent care center. Some innovative districts have teamed up with
doctors to conduct remote visits from the school. The provider can assess the urgency of the
case and provide instructions or reassurance to parents.
Assisted living center support
Telemedicine software has already proven to be useful in keeping residence of assisted living
facilities out of the hospital. Problems often occur at night or on weekends, making
hospitalization the only option even for less urgent problems. With telemedicine, on-call
doctors can conduct a remote visit to determine if hospitalization is necessary.

Topic of Lecture: Profile of HRD Manager

Introduction :
The HR Manager is responsible for employment policies and procedures, overseeing payroll and
rewards and recognition programs as well as managing workplace safety initiatives.

Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:


Principles of Management
Detailed content of the Lecture:
It is essential that a health care facility is staffed with suitable personnel. The HR manager
organizes and conducts the selection of appropriate candidates for such positions. She advises
management on employee pay and benefits for both recruits and existing employees.
Staffing and Placement
It is essential that a health care facility is staffed with suitable personnel. The HR manager
organizes and conducts the selection of appropriate candidates for such positions. She advises
management on employee pay and benefits for both recruits and existing employees. The HR
manager may ensure that newly-hired personnel acquire labor certificates from the U.S.
Department of Labor and work visas from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Legal Research on Health Care


The role of the HR manager extends to research on rules and regulations governing the health
care system in relation to its employees. This may require working with the lawyers of the
hospital. Statutes such as The Medicare and Medicaid Patient Protection Act of 1987 are
important laws with which a health care facility should be well-versed. Legal contracts with
medical practitioners on recruitment and retention also need close scrutiny by the HR manager
and his department. This avoids situations where a facility is subjected to penalties for violations
of health-related laws, or disputes arising from employee contracts.

Management of Employees
A health care facility needs the expertise of qualified and reliable members to ensure adequate
delivery of health care services, limit complaints from patients, and prevent sanctions from
authorities. The HR manger is in charge of evaluating existing employees in an organization. He
must ensure that the performance of recruits and employees is up to par. He is also in charge of
addressing disputes arising between employees and management and finding working solutions
to address such disputes.
Decision-Making
Facility management has increasingly included the HR department in the decision-making and
planning process. This was a paradigm shift from an earlier role confined to record-keeping and
legal auditing. The inclusion of the HR department in management allows the manager to
address employee concerns. When such matters are addressed at an early stage it limits staff
disputes and unrest. The HR manger is also tasked with the responsibility of developing a strong,
reliable team and establishing management strategies to govern the workforce, which ensures a
better organized heath care system.

Topic of Lecture: modes of communication

Introduction :
A medium is the channel or system through which communications are conveyed. The plural
form of medium is media.

Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:


Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


There are four main categories or communication styles including verbal, nonverbal, written
and visual:
Verbal. Verbal communication is the use of language to transfer information through
speaking or sign language. ...
Nonverbal. ...
Written. ...
Visual.
3 Modes of Communication
Communication is the process of sharing information between individuals using a set of
common rules, behaviour, symbols, and signs. This process of disseminating information can
be done through 3 major modes namely,
Interpretative Communication
Presentational Communication
Interpersonal Communication

Interpretive Communication
Also referred to as the “one-way communication”, in this mode, the information conveyed by
the sender is interpreted by the receiver in its original form. The target has to understand the
message in both written and spoken form keeping various aspects in mind. For example, in a
class, the learners may not understand every word said by the teacher but are expected to
understand the main crux of the topic. Some of the main highlights of Interpretative
Communication are:
Learners understand, interpret, and analyze what is heard, read, or viewed on a variety of
topics.
This mode of communication involves interpreting the author or producer’s intent.
There is no alternative to the active negotiation of meaning with the writer, speaker, or the
producer.
Interpersonal Communication
Interpersonal communication is the process by which people exchange information through
verbal and nonverbal messages. It is an unmediated mode of communication that occurs
when we interact and attempt to mutually influence each other, simultaneously, in order to
manage relationships. Although interpersonal communication can encompass oral, written,
and non-verbal forms of communication, the term is usually applied to spoken
communication that takes place between two or more individuals on a personal or face to
face level. Examples of Interpersonal Communication include:
Personal Interview
Telephonic Conversations
Interactive Sessions
Debates
E-mails
Text Messages
Models of Communication Bachelor of Mass Communication
Presentational Communication
Presentational Communication is another type of one-way communication, which facilitates
interpretation by members of another group where no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between members of the two groups exists. With this mode of
communication, a person is speaking to an audience that can be rehearsed, pre-prepared, or
scripted. Some of the main highlights of Presentational Communication have been given a
rundown below.
To ensure the intended audience is successful in its interpretation, the “presenter” needs
knowledge of the audience’s language and culture.
No direct opportunity for engaging with larger audience exists in this form of
communication.

Topic of Lecture: Management Decisions and Related Information Requirement

Introduction :
Hospital Management & Information System (HMIS) is a system for patient care and hospital
management. HMIS automates financial, administrative and patient care activities of hospital,
generates extensive management reports, operational statistics & offers a powerful query module.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


Management Information System (MIS) is an organized, automated, and diverse information
system that gathers, stores, processes, and distributes data associated with different departments
of the organization. This data is processed in various forms, such as graphs, diagrams, charts, and
reports to generate accurate, relevant and valuable information for the management. This
information is further communicated to the various departments to be used for decision-making
and business management. MIS system provides central storage of all the business information.
There are various types of MIS systems which are used to gain better understanding of the
market and enterprise.
In the context of different levels of decision making, information can be described as:
⋅ source,
⋅ data,
⋅ inferences and predictions drawn from data,
⋅ value and choices (evaluation of inferences with regard to the objectives and then choosing a course
of action), and
⋅ action which involves course of action.

The role of information in decision making cannot be overemphasized. Effective decision making
demands accurate, timely and relevant information. MIS provides accurate and timely information
necessary to facilitate the decision-making process and enable the organizations planning, control, and
operational functions to be carried out effectively. MIS also plays the crucial role of providing a wide
range of streamlined options from which decision-makers are able to make their preferred choices and
this ensures that whatever choices are made by decision makers, the outcome, more often than not,
becomes positive. This, as a matter of fact, is the reason why many decision makers tend to prefer
using MIS tools when making tough business choices. MIS as renowned concept, having good decision
choices guarantees viable decisions in our businesses.

Topic of Lecture: Clinical Information Systems

Introduction :
A clinical information system (CIS) is an information system designed specifically for use in the critical
care environment, such as in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It can network with the many
computer systems in a modern hospital, such as pathology and radiology.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


A clinical information system (CIS) is an information system designed specifically for use in the critical
care environment, such as in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It can network with the many computer
systems in a modern hospital, such as pathology and radiology. It draws information from all these
systems into an electronic patient record, which clinicians can see at the patient’s bedside.

A CIS can benefit both patients and clinicians by:

 improving communication between the many health professionals caring for each patient
 providing all the information clinicians need to make good decisions
 making it easier for patients to have x-rays and scans when needed
 encouraging quality improvement
 allowing better clinical research.

In ICUs, many medical devices are used to continually monitor extremely sick patients. Vast amounts of
information are produced.

This information allows clinicians to make the right decisions.

It is estimated that ICU clinicians manage about 1700 clinical measurements per day per patient,
compared to about 32 clinical measurements per day per patient in a general ward.

Without a CIS, clinicians must collect most of these measurements and record them on paper-based 24-
hour ‘ICU flow charts’.

With a CIS, all such measurements can be captured, recorded and collated electronically.

This reduces the need for many different paper-based forms, saves time and reduces the risk of error.
Clinical information systems in NSW hospitals
ICU clinical information systems are well established and used routinely in many parts of the world.

They are used in some NSW hospitals, including Bathurst, Blacktown, Dubbo, Orange, Royal Prince
Alfred and St George Hospitals, and at The Children’s Hospital Westmead.

In time, they will be used in all ICUs in NSW.

Topic of Lecture: Quality system – Elements, implementation of quality system, Documentation,


Quality auditing
Introduction :
Quality in healthcare means providing the care the patient needs when the patient needs it, in an
affordable, safe, effective manner. Quality healthcare also means engaging and involving the patient,
so the patient takes ownership in preventive care and in the treatment of diagnosed conditions.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


Quality healthcare is more than just a popular phrase. As the transition to value-based care
moves forward, the focus in patient care is shifting to quality and away from quantity. Healthcare
outcomes for the patient are more important for the independent physician than the number of
patients seen during the day.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published its Quality Strategy in 2016,
listing six goals in the delivery of quality healthcare:
• Make care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care.
• Strengthen person and family engagement as partners in their care.
• Promote effective communication and coordination of care.
• Promote effective prevention and treatment of chronic disease.
• Work with communities to promote best practices of healthy living.
• Make care affordable

Topic of Lecture: International Standards ISO 9000 – 9004 – Features of ISO 9001 – ISO 14000

Introduction :
ISO 9000 refers to a generic series of standards published by the ISO that provide quality
assurance requirements and quality management guidance. ISO 9000 is a quality system
standard, not a technical product standard. ISO 14000 refers to a series of standards on
environmental management tools and systems.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


The standards represent an international consensus on good management practices with the aim
of ensuring that the organisation can continuously deliver the product or service that meet the
customer’s quality requirements.
• Meet applicable regulatory requirements.
• Enhance customer satisfaction.
• Achieve continuous improvement of its performance in pursuit of these objectives.
ISO takes a systems and process approach to improve organisational and financial performance
with a specific focus on quality management, process control and quality assurance techniques to
achieve planned outcomes and prevent unsatisfactory performance or non-conformance.
ISO 14000 refers to a series of standards on environmental management tools and systems. ISO
14000 deals with a company's system for managing its day-to-day operations and how they
impact the environment. The Environmental Management System and Environmental Auditing
address a wide range of issues to include the following:
• Top management commitment to continuous improvement, compliance, and pollution
prevention.
• Creating and implementing environmental policies, including setting and meeting
appropriate targets.
• Integrating environmental considerations in operating procedures.
• Training employees in regard to their environmental obligations.
• Conducting audits of the environmental management system.
ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 are tools to assist business and government to insure the quality of their
products and services, and to manage the impact of their activities on the environment. Like all
ISO standards, their use is voluntary unless a business sector makes them a market requirement
or a government issues regulations making their use obligatory. Organizations that implement
ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 voluntarily do so to improve operations and provide real benefits.

Topic of Lecture: Security – Loss Prevention

Introduction :
Hospitals need security guards to ensure the safety of the employees, health workers,
patients, and all the people inside the premises. Violence, threat, or disturbance in a hospital
can have a huge effect on the well-being of the sick patients. Having trained security guards
on-site is important.

the use of CCTV cameras, duress alarms for staff members and electronic access control
systems for doorways. Some hospitals also employ security staff.

Hospital visitors and safety


As a hospital visitor, it is important that you respect visiting hours and rest periods for
patients during the day. If you want to bring a gift or something for a loved one, check with
the hospital to make sure it is okay. Some wards do not allow pot plants, flowers or food.

Topic of Lecture: Fire Safety – Alarm System

Introduction :
Fire safety is an important norm that needs to be considered during the construction of
a hospital. Compared to the general buildings, it is a tough task to evacuate the people from
the hospitals. And, the highly dependent and immovable patients make it a difficult task to
evacuate the hospital building in a rush.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management

Detailed content of the Lecture:


Fire safety is an important norm that needs to be considered during the construction of a
hospital. Compared to the general buildings, it is a tough task to evacuate the people from
the hospitals. It is unfortunate there are still a few hospitals in which the fire safety is still the
words written on the water surface.

The hospital training and learning arm to blame that most of the hospital staff do not have
awareness of fire safety and the steps that need to be employed in the face of calamity. And,
the highly dependent and immovable patients make it a difficult task to evacuate the hospital
building in a rush.

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities need to focus more on the easy and safe evacuation
methods. The healthcare practices are responsible for the safety and security of the people
inside the hospital and they are expected to adhere to the legally approved fire safety
measures.
Hospital safety and its importance
Most fire-related hazards are caused due to carelessness and improper handling of goods.
One of the places where it is difficult to evacuate people in case of a fire breakout is a
hospital. Evacuating people from hospitals during a fire hazard is challenging because it
involves moving patients who are immobile and are unable to help themselves.

The real challenge is evacuating high dependency people before the fire spreads in the
vicinity. Therefore, it is important that hospitals and other health care centers have adequate
fire prevention and safety measures in place. Prevention is the key in the case of fire-related
accidents especially when places like hospitals are concerned. Every hospital must have well-
planned exit ways and well-maintained firefighting equipment to ward off the casualties and
damage to assets.

By ensuring fire safety in hospitals, we can prevent fire accidents. Hospitals stack a lot of
combustible materials like chemicals, cylinders, surgical equipment, etc. And many hospitals
also have an inbuilt kitchen or canteen. A fire accident may have a lot of casualties as the fire
may become uncontrollable in minutes. So, the hospital management should ensure that their
buildings are fire safe all the times.

Topic of Lecture: Health Insurance & Managing Health Care


Introduction :
Health insurance is a type of insurance coverage that typically pays for medical, surgical,
prescription drug and sometimes dental expenses incurred by the insured. Health insurance
can reimburse the insured for expenses incurred from illness or injury, or pay the care
provider directly.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management
Detailed content of the Lecture:
How Health Insurance Works:
Health insurance can be tricky to navigate. Managed care insurance plans require
policyholders to receive care from a network of designated healthcare providers for the
highest level of coverage. If patients seek care outside the network, they must pay a higher
percentage of the cost. In some cases, the insurance company may even refuse payment
outright for services obtained out of network.
What Is a Managed Health Care Plan?
Managed Healthcare Plans are types of health insurance plans that emerged in the latter part of
the 20th century. Managed health care plans provide a health insurance policy to individual
members of a group or employer.

The group or employer is the plan sponsor of the managed care plan. A managed health care plan
will help beneficiaries—members of the plan—by getting them more favorable rates or
discounted medical insurance services from their plan's health provider network.

Managed health care plans allow plan sponsors to negotiate reduced rates for their policyholders
with hospitals, medical service providers, and physicians, by including them in the network.
