Lifepoint Vision Statement

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.

They also have extensive staff training programmes and teambuilding workshops in place to guarantee the quality of care is to the adequate standard across the board. Management that exhibit the values and principles of the company and lead in a way that promotes positivity and gains results. Teamwork; this is vital to a functioning organisation, communication is key to successful teamwork. Safeguarding and protection; the organisation has policies and procedures in place to protect

The way we practice healthcare and healthcare organizations are changing due to the pressure to reduce costs, improve the quality of care and to meet rigorous guidelines. This change has forced health care professionals to examine we evaluate our overall performance. Paradise Hospital, Inc. has not had any service improvements since 1995. A physician named Avedis Donabedian (2005) proposed a model for assessing health care quality based on structures, processes, and outcomes. He defined structure as the environment in which health care is provided. This is known as the organizational characteristics such as the measurement of staffing ratios and the number of hospital beds. The process is described as the method by which health care is provided. This represents the communication and interaction seen between doctor and patient. The necessity for the tests and procedures performed. The outcome is defined as the consequence of the health care provided, was there a desirable or undesirable effect.

Throughout the United States access to healthcare is somewhat limited to those who can afford private coverage and those who can’t. The United States has programs such as Medicaid and Medicare that help pay for the poor and elderly, but other citizens are left to pay out of pocket or pay through a private insurance. In this United States the most recent health status has shown that “Residents of the United States are less healthy than those in any other wealthy country, according to a report from the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine” (Gutierrez). In the United States hospitals can be found in almost every major city, in rural areas of certain states health disparities from those particular locations can be solved by the use of life flight.

Healthcare organizations do not contribute to the society’s welfare and impact the society positively therefore the relationship with the stakeholders is poor. With a poor relationship, this causes conflict between the patient and the doctor. Enough financial resources should be allocated to prevent quality of care issues and improve the quality of care to the patients. The moneys allocated can be used to purchase equipments that are beneficial to the care of the patients. There are many issues when it comes to the allocation of resources and should be cost effective to ensure the health benefits of those in the community that are being treated. If the allocations of the resources are not done correctly it can affect the community. Human resources should allocate financial resources to eliminate the shortage of doctors and nurses which has affected the performance and

Next the healthcare location will have a advisory council performs a health assessment for the whole community and develop a health improvement plan. Using this health assessment the ACO will use capitalization model to effective take care of their patients. The healthcare organizations will be given a fixed amount of payments towards medical care and procedures. In addition to the capitalization model the professional will be paid by their performance within their patient population. This is a major incentive for physicians to be very through and effective in keeping their patients

ensure that workforce and resources needed to create positive practice environments are met → deliver high quality care

The United States can boast of being the country with the best technology in the health industry, the best expertise and also the best infrastructures. However, these services are not readily available to all due to the relative cost and mostly lack of health insurance. In some situations, the health insurance may be available but coverage is limited and with tentacles of restrictive clauses. For years these have been the measure of our healthcare system and long overdue overhaul that became eminent via the Obama Care in 2010 also known as the affordable care act. The rapidly rising health care costs over the decades have prompted the application of business practices to medicine with goals of improving the efficiency, restraining

To enhance quality and give a more secure and more organized care the hospital should:

Quality is an important factor that affects an organization’s service delivery approach or underlying system of care. To achieve a different level of performance and improve quality, an organization’s system needs to change its own delivery system and key processes. The resources (inputs) and activities carried out are addressed together to ensure or improve quality of care. A health service delivery system can be small and simple, such as an immunization clinic or large and complex or a managed care organization. A health care delivery system consists of resources, activities, and results. Activities or processes within a healthcare organization contain focuses on what care is provided and how is done based on the location, time, and patients of the care delivery. Providing services that meet the needs and expectations of patients and their community, including system that affect patient access, care provision that is evidence-based, patient safety, support for patient engagement, coordination of care with other parts of the larger health care system, and cultural competence, including assessing health literacy of patients, patient-centered communication, and linguistically appropriate

Sitting in a classroom during the first course for my Administrative Credential, I still clearly recall the moment when I first heard that quote. I had been a classroom teacher for over ten years and yet I had not necessarily thought of or articulated teaching and learning through this lens. This quote and the ensuing discussion I engaged in with my colleagues that evening, resonated with me so strongly that it forever changed and guided my vision of education.

Modern society has developed formal institutions for patient care. The hospital a major institution offers considerable advantages to both patient and society. Number of health problems requires intensive medical treatment and personal care which normally can’t be available in patients home or in the clinic of a doctor. This is possible only where a large number or professionally and technically skilled people apply their knowledge & skill with the world class expertise advanced sophisticated equipment and appliances. The excellence of hospital services depend on how well the human and material resources are utilized to promote patient care.
