Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In health care, the days of "business as usual" are over. Around the world, every health care system is struggling with rising costs and inequality despite the hard work of well-intention-ed, well-trained clinicians. Health care leaders and policymakers have tried many incremental fixes-attacking fraud, reducing errors, enforcing practice guidelines, making patients better "consumers," implementing electronic medical records-but none have had much impact.It is time for a fundamentally new strategy: At its core, is maximizing value for patients; that is, achieving the best outcomes at the lowest cost. We must move away from a supply-driven health care system organized around what physicians do and toward a patient-centered system organized around what patients need. We must shift the focus from the volume and profitability of services provided-physician visits, hospitalizations, procedures, and tests-to the patient outcomes achieved.Sometimes, management allows suggestions from personnel with no medical or financial training. Without fundamental skills, they adopt such an uninformed decision, and catastrophic failure of the healthcare enterprise is imminent. Economic reinvestment focused on less critical issues, leave the health facility in a vulnerable financial state. Some managers fail terribly by prioritizing less impactful duties. Such functions would accomplish far less when compared to others. Time efficiency in the 21st century is costly, and therefore, such business put themselves at the risk of untimely completion of tasks. Businesses, particularly the health care industry, are constantly facing hurdles. Whether expected or unexpected, and no matter the direction we pursue, without a plan and a comprehensive understanding of the company, one can quickly fall victim to organizational demise. We live in a dynamic business environment. Consider that in every generation, organizations must adopt new markets, technology, and policies. As businesses expand, various problems and opportunities emerge that require different solutions. Identifying and providing a remedy to various shortcomings related to growth is crucial for a company to continue growing. Health care facilities face financial, resources, employee, legal, management, social, political, technological, and ethical issues. These challenges affect the smooth operation of a hospital. Human resources are the greatest asset of any organization. Most importantly, to ensure that the management decisions that we make today do not result in more problems in the future, investing in a good leader will assist a business to utilize the most of an opportunity which results in a sustainable expansion in the future. Organizations must be on their toes to ensure that patients are fully satisfied and that they do not lose the market to competitors who are eagerly waiting to convert their customers. The finance unit should develop a financial plan that can fulfill organizational expenses. Finally, the management should create a conducive working environment which helps to motivate employees.Preventing organizational demise in the health care industry can be achieved. My hope is to provide a comprehensive overview of the strategies every business can apply, the importance of expecting the unexpected and understanding the importance of leadership styles, employee contributions and ethical practices

Book excerpt: The changes in recent years, through poor communication, changes in strategy and general levels of increased stress had taken their toll on the staff. Today, unlike things in 2011, productivity was down, patient care was diminishing, and the knock-on effect was seeing the hospital spiral into demise.Low morale in any team is hard to lift once a downward spiral begins. While low morale is not the cause the demise of an organization, it is, nonetheless a contributory factor and increases the negative effects of whatever lies at the root of the problems. A domino effect soon follows, and with poorly motivated, depressed, and uncommunicating employees, and the negative energy is compounded leading to an eventual demise of a company. People are the greatest asset to any organization, and if moral and motivation are low, the business will ultimately perform poorly.Declining businesses and poor operational management practices can be attributed to internal and external factors. From the maintenance of quality service standards to the financial, social, and political aspects, there are many deficiencies responsible for the demise of an organization. The ability of institutions to recognize these limitations can provide the value and the protection needed to address deficiencies in a healthy and structured manner. Looking at the power of dynamic in managerial systems, and the significant disconnect between stakeholders, leaders, and managers, organizational decline, and eventual demise are explored.In the current competitive business environment, it is crucial for organizations to consider financial, management, employee-related, legal, social, technological, and ethical issues that affect the success of a business. For an organization to compete competitively it must continuously adapt to frequent changes. The capability to manage organizational change caused by external factors will result in change of operations. An organizational cycle comprises of four phases: start-up, growth, maturity, and decline. A business begins as an idea and finally grows to become a well-established organization. As the business expands, more resources are distributed to assist in decision-making process and ensure the growth of the organization. At the maturity phase, the business starts to decline unless it diversifies its operation strategy to meet existing market opportunities. Development of modern technology, resistance to change, and competition can result in the demise of an organization.Organizational death has been linked with low productivity and motivation among employees. Job security is a key factor that motivates employees. Organizations have changed their operation principles where employees predict career growth for their commitment toward achieving organizational goals. Demotivated employees are less productive thus leading an organization to incur financial loss. The closure of an organization negatively affects all stakeholders.The greatest deficiency that is seen in the demise of an organization clearly lays in people and their abilities to solve problems, lead, and communicate. This is just the tip of the iceberg and once one digs deeper the deficiencies can be pinpointed and resolved, but to achieve this one must step back and take a critical look at the organization and be honest. To find the 101 deficiencies that can lead to a demise of organization, one needs to open one's eyes and face the facts.Organizations should hire competent managers and employees who will help in making the right decisions for the organization.
Download or read book More Than Medicine written by LaTonya J. Trotter and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In More Than Medicine, LaTonya J. Trotter chronicles the everyday work of a group of nurse practitioners (NPs) working on the front lines of the American health care crisis as they cared for four hundred African American older adults living with poor health and limited means. Trotter describes how these NPs practiced an inclusive form of care work that addressed medical, social, and organizational problems that often accompany poverty. In solving this expanded terrain of problems from inside the clinic, these NPs were not only solving a broader set of concerns for their patients; they became a professional solution for managing "difficult people" for both their employer and the state. Through More Than Medicine, we discover that the problems found in the NP's exam room are as much a product of our nation's disinvestment in social problems as of physician scarcity or rising costs.
Download or read book To Err Is Human written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves. First in a series of publications from the Quality of Health Care in America, a project initiated by the Institute of Medicine

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.
Download or read book Ginseng and Aspirin written by Zibin Guo and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigating the maze of modern American health care is rarely easy; those who enter it are confronted with a dizzying array of specialists, practitioners, and clinics from which to choose, and are forced to make decisions regarding drugs and treatments about which they may know very little. For immigrants, finding their way can be difficult--especially for those to whom Western medicine is itself unfamiliar.In this engaging, accessible, and detail-rich book, Zibin Guo narrates elderly Chinese immigrants' response to contemporary American medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes self-care and the medicinal value of foods and herbs; American doctors' responses to the ailments of their Chinese patients can seem impersonal and unnecessarily interventionist. Distrust, expense, and problems of communication and interpretation often frustrate both patient and practitioner.Guo paints a picture of a population that, despite its outward appearance of homogeneity, demonstrates a surprisingly wide variety of health-care knowledge, practice, and belief. Using case materials and interviews, he analyzes the blend of folk treatments and respect for Western science that coexist in the health care regimens of these elderly Chinese immigrants.

Download or read book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.
