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
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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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
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.
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.

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.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Principles of Management
Sometimes, seeing a loved one in pain or suffering can be distressing. Always be courteous to
hospital staff, other patients and visitors. Physical or verbal abuse towards staff, patients or
other visitors will not be tolerated and you may be asked to leave if you behave like this.
Hospital security arrangements
Many hospitals have security staff and arrangements to protect patients and hospital staff to
make sure they are safe.
Health services enforce a code of behaviour. They do not tolerate physical or verbal
aggression, or abuse towards staff, patients, family members or visitors. Security staff or
police will ask aggressive or abusive visitors to leave the hospital.

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
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.

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.
