Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, problems related to health-care efficiency have been at the top of the priorities of many hospitals systems and governments. The growing cost of health care, and particularly hospitals, is a significant factor in the increasing pressure for improvement of hospitals’ efficiency while maintaining a high quality of services. Hospitals are recognized as organizations in which waste, unnecessary administrative burdens, failures of care coordination, failures in execution of care processes, and even fraud and abuse are frequently identified as causes. Adoption of management control as a response to hospital problems is consistent with the conviction that control is a critical management function that has the greatest impact on organizational performance. Research proves that the lack of adequate control, adapted to modern organizational solutions, causes many harmful consequences, such as faulty services, dissatisfied patients and employees, inability to effectively compete on market, low flexibility and innovativeness, and, consequently, poor performance of the organization. This book comprehensively presents issues related to management control and develops a breakthrough theory about management control in hospitals. It is the result of many years of research and outlines the concept of control and related theories, which are discussed in detail, taking into account the unique characteristics of medical services, the health-care market, and hospitals as public organizations. Research has shown that the main elements of management control in hospitals are information systems, diagnostic control, interactive control, innovativeness, manager’s trust in physicians, and perceived uncertainty. And that proper relationships between these elements positively influence the hospital’s performance. This book describes how the success of the entire control process is based on the hospital’s top management and its interaction with clinical managers, department heads, and directors of other medical departments as well as clinicians. After reading this book, the implementation of the solutions suggested will help hospitals improve their performance, including the quality and effectiveness of the provided medical services and patient care.
Book Synopsis Management Control in a Healthcare Context by : Michelle Carr
Download or read book Management Control in a Healthcare Context written by Michelle Carr and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During an acute recession in Ireland, healthcare organisations were subjected to increasing pressures to provide more services for less money, highlighting the need for resources to be utilised efficiently and for effective management control. This presents quite a rare research opportunity, and the objective of this study is to use it to explore the design and operation of management control practices in what the literature already recognises to be one of the most complex and under-researched contexts, healthcare, particularly in a situation where such a system is under considerable stress. The study of such extreme examples can cast additional light into effective management control in practice beyond that typically available under more "normal" conditions. To achieve the research objective, an in-depth case study of a large, acute, public hospital was conducted. Using qualitative research methods within an interpretive framework, it sought to explore the many complexities associated with the hospital context and to identify possible linkages between contextual factors and the operation of management control practices. The study demonstrates that the economic and fiscal crisis was perceived to have initiated a change in the attention provided to, and use made of, management control information. National healthcare management were perceived to have placed a higher emphasis on cost reduction targets and to use budget information in an inflexible manner. Senior hospital management perceived that this style of usage led them to be more focused on budget information and the achievement of budget targets, but they also perceived higher job-related stress and tense working relationships with national management. Senior hospital management were reluctant to replicate an inflexible style of budget usage within the hospital, but driven by the need to meet national cost reduction targets and frustrated by organisational arrangements, they adopted a centralised style of usage. It was recognised that while initially successful in removing organisational slack, this approach may lead to harmful side effects in the longer term. For example, clinicians were found to be apathetic towards the use of management control practices. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting how management control practices were perceived to operate during an economic and fiscal crisis. Further, addressing some limitations of previous research, it examined perceptions concerning multiple control practices at different organisational levels and among different professional groupings in the hospital, including senior hospital management, services managers, clinicians and clinician managers.
Book Synopsis Management Control Systems as Enabling Use in Professional Bureaucracy by : Takahito Kondo
Download or read book Management Control Systems as Enabling Use in Professional Bureaucracy written by Takahito Kondo and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the role of management control systems in a professional bureaucracy through a case study of a public hospital in Japan. Given the rapid growth of health care expenditures in the developed countries, the implementation of management control systems in public hospitals has been seen as an effective way to restrain medical costs. While previous studies show the administrative control has little effects on physician efficiency in providing medical service, our findings indicate the critical role of management control systems in improving quality and efficiency of medical care. This study applies the concept of enabling (Adler and Borys, 1996) to our case. In our case, an enabling use of management control systems helped medical doctors to understand the financial impacts of their daily clinical decisions and to provide more productive service without sacrificing service quality. Our results offer new insights into management control in the process of management reform in professional bureaucracies.
Book Synopsis Health System Efficiency by : Jonathan Cylus

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors explore the state of the art on efficiency measurement in health systems and international experts offer insights into the pitfalls and potential associated with various measurement techniques. The authors show that: - The core idea of efficiency is easy to understand in principle - maximizing valued outputs relative to inputs, but is often difficult to make operational in real-life situations - There have been numerous advances in data collection and availability, as well as innovative methodological approaches that give valuable insights into how efficiently health care is delivered - Our simple analytical framework can facilitate the development and interpretation of efficiency indicators.

Book Synopsis Really Managing Health Care by : Iles, Valerie
Download or read book Really Managing Health Care written by Iles, Valerie and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the first edition: "Valerie Iles has such a sensitive no-nonsense style that she easily succeeds in seducing the reader to accept her arguments about what is going so badly wrong with management in health care ... The case studies can only be described as 'gems'... But perhaps the greatest message this book can give to the NHS, and health care managers in particular, is that change is unstoppable. All organisms must adapt with their environment or die."- Health Service Journal "Yes! This is a book that draws heavily on real-life observations with an appropriate balance of theory and pragmatism. It tackles the challenges we all face in our everday work - managing people, change, money, ourselves and organisations."- Nursing Times "... anyone who has a part to play in managing health services would benefit from reading it."- British Medical Journal Much has been made of the distinction between management and leadership, but in health care this separation is unhelpful. Like the first edition, this completely revised edition of Really Managing Health Care describes a model, real management that brings the two elements together and demonstrates its application in health care settings. Drawing on theory across a wide range of management disciplines and illustrating these with practical examples, Valerie Iles succinctly answers three crucial questions: How can I manage clinical professionals? How can I increase the influence of my service? What changes do I need to introduce to improve the quality of care my service is offering? Written specifically for people suspicious of management jargon, Really Managing Health Care is designed for service leaders from across health and social care, and introduces ways of approaching the management task which recognize the particular dynamics of this field.

Book Synopsis Proceedings of the International Conference Theory and Applications in the Knowledge Economy by : Eduardo Tomé
Download or read book Proceedings of the International Conference Theory and Applications in the Knowledge Economy written by Eduardo Tomé and published by Eduardo Tomé. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 923 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword TAKE 2016 is a dream that came true. In about six months, a group of friends and colleagues put together in an upcoming and very dynamic university a conference with 9 streams, 3 keynotes, and 3 special sessions. 60 papers presented, 6 posters and around 80 participants from 20 countries. This is awesome! I would like to deeply thank Aveiro University, the GOVCOPP research centre, the conference committee, the keynote speakers, the special session convenors, the stream leaders, the reviewers, the authors, and the administrative people for all their work and support. I want to have two special words one for Blazenka Knezevic without whom the website would not have been possible, the other for Gaby Neumann for work in these Proceedings. Scientifically, TAKE seems to be as important and new and far reaching. We don’t have shortage of models regarding the knowledge economy but we decisively lack to explore the relation between theory and practice. TAKE is a step in exploring that difference. We know that “Exact sciences find the best answers and social sciences give the best questions” (J.C. Spender) and we also know that “Knowledge Management is more preached by scholars than done by practitioners” (Aino Kianto). We assume the first idea and try to overcome the second. Hopefully TAKE 2016 will be a great success. Thank you for everything.
