Описание:
Healthcare Organizations offer significant opportunities for change and improvement in their overall performance. Hospitals and clinics are generally large, complex, and inefficient, and need serious development in process workflow and management systems, which will ultimately lead to better patient and financial outcomes. The National Academy of Medicine has stated that hospital systems are broken, and that they must begin by ..". improving hospital efficiency and patient flow, and using operational management methods and information technologies." In fact, costs and quality are two of the important aspects of the "triple aim" in healthcare.
One area that offers significant potential for improvement is through the application of performance improvement methods to patient and process flows. Performance improvement has a significant impact on a hospital's over financial and strategic performance. Performance improvement involves the deployment of quantitative and scientific methods to model and influence the functioning of organizations. Performance improvement professionals are tasked with managing a variety of activities, such as deploying new information technologies, serving as project managers for construction events, re-engineering departmental process workflow, eliminating bottlenecks, and improving the flow and movement of patients between resource-intensive clinical areas. All of these are high risk, and require use of advanced, sophisticated methods to improve efficiency and quality, while minimizing disruptions from change.
This updated edition is a comprehensive and concise guide to performance improvement in healthcare. It describes the management engineering principles focused on designing optimal management and information systems and processes. Case studies and examples are integrated throughout all chapters.

Описание:
This book was written to fill a need for a basic text about medical social work. The material has specific reference to social work in the hospital organization, but much of it is applicable to social work within the broader context of health care.
Any printed material now available on the subject is largely incidental and scattered reference. This book will be of great value to social workers, and to students in hospital administration, medicine, and nursing. It will also be of help to members of hospital boards and to hospital administrators who wish to establish or evaluate a social service department.
Beginning with a background in the history of the hospital and social work, the book provides chapters on the role and function of a social service department in a hospital, on the staffing and administration of such a department, on the kinds of activity in which it engages, and on its place in the larger organization of which it is a part.

Описание: Chapter 1: IntroductionThis book focuses on the different strategic directions commonly adopted by strategists in different industries. The different strategic views conceptualized in health care in addition to a crafted strategic framework that can be used to draw a summary of the market competitive dynamics will be described. Once the strategist has chosen the strategic direction for its firm, a strategic plan must follow. The application of the most common strategies used in other industries to develop and sustain a competitive advantage are discussed with special focus on Porter's strategies, namely low-cost leadership and service differentiation. Last, but not least, eight strategic tactics are discussed thoroughly with special attention to the operational initiatives, indicators, and goals of each. In the last two chapters, the author highlights the application of Porter's strategies in a set of Lebanese hospitals with emphasis on the limitations, constraints, and correlation factors between types of strategies used and performance of these hospitals. Chapter 2: Strategic Directions and ViewsTwo main strategic views are traditionally used in various industries including health care; these include the positional view and the resource-based view. In the positional view, strategic planning primarily lies in envisioning the position of the medical institution in the healthcare arena. The main competitive advantage lies in its current position in the market that mandates proper understanding of the various industries' attributes as well as the competitive forces that shape the position of the institution and its long-term profitability. The main industry attributes analyzed in health care are the rate of growth and profitability, geographic accessibility, strategic alliances, in addition to the weight and impact of technological innovation on its performance. An equally important strategic view is the resource-based view, where strategists look within the institution at its resources and capabilities in an attempt to develop new competencies that are of strategic relevance. The main question to be answered is "what are we good at" and how can we leverage on our competencies to expand our market share and grow further. This view is more commonly adopted in unstable environments characterized by turmoil, which makes industry attractiveness an elusive strategic start. Chapter 3: Porter's Strategies in Healthcare: 3.1: Choice of StrategyTwo types of strategy, namely cost leadership and differentiation strategy in their focused and broad applications, have been used to co-op with the changes in the healthcare environment. Differentiation strategy is about the provision of a service or a product with distinctive attributes that are of added value to the patient. It is about meeting patient's needs by providing patient-centered care with state-of-the-art technology and expertise. One accepted approach is improving the level of offering vis-а-vis the key success factors or improving the final or intermediate healthcare outcome measures by differentiating the existing services and/or creating new ones. Cost leadership strategy, on the other hand, means to be the lowest cost producer in the industry. The competitive advantage is derived from widening the gap between the cost of production and what the patient is willing to pay. This entails minimization of cost in various operational fields, business restructuring, and revamping of the overall cost structure. A basic approach is catalog activity and value chain analysis, where each service is disintegrated into a set of activities and the corresponding cost drivers are analyzed in relation to the overall cost, to the customer's need and market segment. Chapter 4: Sources of Competitive AdvantageA hospital possesses a compet
