Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Contrary to advanced cardiac life support guidelines that recommend immediate defibrillation for shockable in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), epinephrine administration before first defibrillation is common and associated with lower survival at a “patient-level.” Whether this practice varies across hospitals and its association with “hospital-level” IHCA survival remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine hospital variation in rates of epinephrine administration before defibrillation for shockable IHCA and its association with IHCA survival. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: Five hundred thirteen hospitals participating in the Get With The Guidelines Resuscitation Registry. PATIENTS: A total of 37,668 adult patients with IHCA due to an initial shockable rhythm from 2000 to 2019. INTERVENTIONS: Epinephrine before first defibrillation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Using multivariable hierarchical regression, we examined hospital variation in epinephrine administration before first defibrillation and its association with hospital-level rates of risk-adjusted survival. The median hospital rate of epinephrine administration before defibrillation was 18.8%, with large variation across sites (range, 0–68.8%; median odds ratio: 1.54; 95% CI, 1.47–1.61). Major teaching status and annual IHCA volume were associated with hospital rate of epinephrine administration before defibrillation. Compared with hospitals with the lowest rate of epinephrine administration before defibrillation (Q1), there was a stepwise decline in risk-adjusted survival at hospitals with higher rates of epinephrine administration before defibrillation (Q1: 44.3%, Q2: 43.4%; Q3: 41.9%; Q4: 40.3%; p for trend < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Administration of epinephrine before defibrillation in shockable IHCA is common and varies markedly across U.S. hospitals. Hospital rates of epinephrine administration before defibrillation were associated with a significant stepwise decrease in hospital rates of risk-adjusted survival. Efforts to prioritize immediate defibrillation for patients with shockable IHCA and avoid early epinephrine administration are urgently needed.

Abstract:
It is critical for a hospital to perform efficiently, to provide quality health care, and to maintain a high reputation in the community that the hospital serves. Since hospital governing boards are charged with ensuring superior performance on the part of the hospital, it is important to understand the features of governing boards that contribute positively to hospital performance. This study investigates the relationship between hospital governance and hospital performance in Tennessee. It measures the performance of 125 community hospitals from 2008 to 2012 using data envelopment analysis (DEA). This study finds that hospitals that adopt a corporate governance model perform better than hospitals that embrace a philanthropic one.

Abstract:
Many benefits accrue to an occupation that is described as a “profession,” including the ability to influence public debate, such as the current one over health policy in the United States. The label of profession frequently enhances the status, prestige, power, and legitimacy of an occupation, which usually translates into additional resources and power. This article examines the current status of the occupation—hospital administration—with respect to the literature pertaining to the concept of a profession. Hospital administration is assessed in terms of its relation to three common attributes associated with professions: collegial traits, knowledge base, and service orientation. The analysis indicates that there are important obstacles to be overcome before hospital administration can be considered a profession based on these three attributes.

Health organizations are social systems consist of patterned activities implemented in a complementary, interdependent, with structures, people, technologies, processes, services / products, culture and communication system itself. The communication tool is responsible for coordinating and enabling dialogue between the various subsystems that compose the organization. The hospital is one of the more complex types of organization, due to the extensive network of activities / services it provides and develops. Is multi-purpose space, employs large numbers of skilled professionals, has a division of labor heavily accented. Manage it efficiently is a challenge, involving modern management, strategy planning, organizational communication enabling the effective deployment of actions as well as dissemination of the mission, goals, philosophy to be made by all employees. Considering the relevance of communication processes within the hospitals public institutions, this work aims generally describe and analyze how it establishes the communication process between nursing units of a university hospital and between them and their administrative sectors to which it relates. We chose the method of case study and the study was developed in a university hospital in Goiânia-GO with 27 nurse managers from service units of the Board of Nursing (DE). Data collection was divided into two stages, integrating individual interviews and semi-structured group interview, recorded, transcribed and analyzed together with data from observations made during the interviews recorded in the field diary. The material was treated on the basis of content analysis. The results revealed that the intersetorial communication happens primarily through telephone calls, personal meetings, documents for internal circulation, dealing primarily with the demands of patients. With DE regard to situations or problems related to care, administrative issues of conservation, building maintenance, solicitation and acquisition of material. With the administrative sectors oriented messages to request services, maintenance and supply of materials. Most participants stressed that communication is efficient in its purpose of transmitting information, but is not effective in providing behavior change in the receivers. We identified five themes for factors that hinder communication: structural constraints of hospital, complexity of hospital organization, features of public organizations and lack of systemic vision of nurse managers and other servers. The factors that drive: agile movement of information, support, hierarchical organizational structure, coordination and integration between units and sectors, strengthening of problem situations, cooperative professional attitude, use of informal communication. To cope with the problems encountered in research is suggested improvement of skills of all employees and managers of hospital information technology in the communication process, the organizational changes in order to get more horizontal organizational structure, based on shared management model that achieves the principles of modern management. It is recommended that future studies be conducted among other boards, and other professional staff who are not in a managerial role with the intention to expand the scope of the investigation
padronizadas executadas de forma complementar, interdependentes, com estruturas, pessoas, tecnologias, processos de serviços/produtos, cultura e sistema de comunicação própria. A comunicação é ferramenta responsável por coordenar e permitir o diálogo entre os vários subsistemas que compõem a organização. A instituição hospitalar é um dos tipos mais complexos de organização, devido à extensa rede de atividades/serviços que presta e desenvolve. É espaço de múltiplas finalidades, emprega grande número de profissionais especializados, possui uma divisão de trabalho fortemente acentuada. Administrá-la de modo eficiente é um desafio, que envolve gestão moderna, planejamento de estratégias de comunicação organizacional que permita a implantação eficiente de ações, bem como disseminação da missão, objetivos, filosofia a serem assumidos por todos os funcionários. Considerando a relevância dos processos comunicacionais dentro das instituições públicas hospitalares, esse trabalho teve como objetivo geral descrever e analisar como se estabelece o processo de comunicação entre unidades de enfermagem de um hospital universitário e entre as mesmas e setores administrativos com os quais se relaciona. Optou-se pelo método do estudo de caso, sendo a pesquisa desenvolvida em hospital universitário em Goiânia-GO com 27 enfermeiros gerentes das unidades de atendimento da Diretoria de Enfermagem(DE). A coleta de dados dividiu-se em duas etapas, integrando entrevistas individuais semi-estruturadas e entrevista grupal, gravadas, transcritas e analisadas juntamente com dados de observações realizadas durante as entrevistas registradas no diário de campo. O material foi tratado com base na análise temática de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que a comunicação intersetorial na DE acontece prioritariamente por contato telefônico, encontros pessoais, documentos de circulação interna, tratando basicamente das demandas com pacientes. Com a DE diz respeito a situações problemas ou relacionadas à assistência, questões administrativas de conservação, manutenção predial, solicitação e aquisição de material. Com os setores administrativos as mensagens se orientam para solicitação de serviços, manutenção e suprimento de materiais. A maioria dos participantes ressaltou que a comunicação é eficiente em seu objetivo de transmitir informações, porém não é eficaz em proporcionar mudança de comportamento nos receptores. Identificaram-se cinco categorias temáticas para os fatores que dificultam a comunicação: limitações estruturais do hospital, complexidade da organização hospitalar, particularidades das organizações públicas e falta de visão sistêmica de enfermeiros gerentes e demais servidores. Os fatores que a impulsionam: agilidade na circulação das informações, suporte da estrutura hierárquica organizacional, articulação e integração entre unidades e setores, intensificação das situações problemas, postura profissional cooperativa, uso da comunicação informal. Para enfrentamento dos problemas encontrados na pesquisa sugere-se aperfeiçoamento das competências de todos os funcionários e gerentes do hospital, informatização no processo da comunicação, alterações do organograma, no sentido de buscar estrutura organizacional mais horizontalizada, baseada em modelo de gestão compartilhada que atinja princípios da administração moderna. Recomenda-se que estudos futuros sejam realizados junto às outras diretorias, demais categorias profissionais e funcionários que não estão em função gerencial com a intenção de ampliar o alcance da investigação

Abstract:
The role of marketing and marketing communication in hospitals has grown in the last decade. The need for hospitals to make careful decisions about their marketing communication efforts is mandated, given the changes taking place in the hospital industry. The purpose of this dissertation was to conduct empirical research to determine whether for-profit and non-profit hospitals perceive and utilize promotion as a marketing strategy element. The two steps taken included: identifying important factors considered by hospital administrators and marketing staff in the development of communication messages designed for patients, hospital staff and medical staff; and testing the factors developed and studying the attitudes of hospital personnel toward promotion using a national sample of hospitals. In phase 1, focus group interviews were conducted in a surrogate for-profit hospital and a surrogate non-profit hospital. In phase 2, an original mail questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 80 hospitals. A total of 38 hospitals participated, providing 114 usable responses. Test statistics included content analysis, Chi-Square, Pearson correlation coefficient and Analysis of Variance. The results of the focus group study indicated the practice of marketing in hospitals is in its early growth stages and marketing is viewed as nothing more than advertising and public relations. The results of the mail survey indicated that respondents in small for-profit hospitals with 20 to 30 years of experience as professionals, with key decision making authority, are favorably disposed to marketing and marketing communication. It was also found that respondents in large non-profit hospitals are very positive towards marketing. In contrast, respondents in medium and large for-profit hospitals, who are not directly involved in decision making, tend to be less positive towards marketing. The study serves as a basis for future research which may involve, (1) a larger sample frame, (2) hospitals in inner-city and rural areas, (3) investigation of the association between hospital ownership and hospital efficiency, and (4) development of a profile of respondents by title held, in hospitals.

Abstract:
A passagem de plantão é um recurso estratégico para a organização dos cuidados de enfermagem, que permite a continuidade da assistência efetiva. Trata-se de uma atribuição do enfermeiro, que precisa desenvolver a competência em comunicação para coordenar, organizar e realizar a passagem de plantão. A reconfiguração do papel do hospital, importância da integralidade e continuidade do cuidado, relevância da temática para o trabalho do enfermeiro e da equipe de enfermagem e a carência da produção científica sobre a passagem de plantão na atenção hospitalar justificaram a realização desta pesquisa. O objetivo foi identificar potencialidades e limitações da passagem de plantão de enfermagem na atenção hospitalar. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, abordagem qualitativa, utilizando Técnica do Incidente Crítico. Desenvolvido nas Unidades Funcionais da Neurologia e Clínica Cirúrgica, de hospital público universitário, referência para atenção às urgências e emergências, em município da região nordeste do Estado de São Paulo. Os participantes foram enfermeiros que atenderam aos critérios de inclusão: ser profissional nos serviços selecionados, não estar direta ou indiretamente envolvido com o estudo e estar presente na unidade à época da coleta de dados, e foram critérios de exclusão: estar ausente da unidade em decorrência de afastamentos de qualquer natureza. Para coleta de dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, gravadas, transcritas integralmente. Para análise, foi utilizada a estatística descritiva e para os relatos utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo. Foram encontradas 76 situações, 103 comportamentos e 126 consequências. As situações tiveram predomínio de referências negativas (73,7%), agrupadas em quatro categorias: comunicação, interrupções na passagem de plantão, aspectos ambientais e aspectos organizacionais. Os comportamentos tiveram maioria de referências negativas (63,1%), agrupados em quatro categorias: comunicar, interromper a passagem de plantão, questionar a estrutura de trabalho e utilizar recursos tecnológicos. As consequências concentraram referências negativas (65,8%), agrupadas em quatro categorias: comunicação, tempo, organização do trabalho e relações interpessoais. As referências positivas foram entendidas como potencialidades e as referências negativas como limitações para a passagem de plantão. Nesse sentido, pode-se afirmar que os resultados referentes a situações, comportamentos e consequências evidenciam predomínio de limitações para a passagem de plantão incluindo as interrupções, falhas na comunicação, ausência de um local adequado para a realização da passagem de plantão e extensão na carga horária de trabalho, que podem repercutir em fatos inadequados para o atendimento ao usuário, tais como possibilidade de erros, duplicação/repetição de cuidados ou supressão destes inadvertidamente. Cabe destacar que, embora menos frequentes, as referências potencializadoras da passagem de plantão dizem respeito à comunicação em sua forma, foco, objetividade e conteúdo, as informações, utilização de recursos que facilitam a transmissão de informações e ambiente adequado. Os resultados permitiram um diagnóstico situacional sem, contudo, avançar para proposição de sugestões e intervenções, uma vez que a construção conjunta com os implicados das respectivas unidades pode estimular o processo participativo, criativo e de corresponsabilização. É preciso resignificar a passagem de plantão como parte das atividades de enfermagem, inserida em contexto institucional, que produz impacto para a equipe de enfermagem e multiprofissional, mas acima de tudo para os usuários
The shift is a strategic resource for the organization of nursing care, which allows continuity of effective care. This is task of the nurse, who must develop communication skills to coordinate, organize and perform the shift. The reconfiguration of the role of hospital, the importance of integrality and continuity of care, the relevance of the theme to nurses\' work and nursing team, and the lack of scientific production about shift in hospital care justified this research. The aim was to identify the potentialities and limitations of the nursing shift in hospital care. This is a descriptive study with qualitative approach, using the Critical Incident Technique. It was developed at the Functional Units of Neurology and Surgical Clinic of a public university hospital, which is reference for urgency and emergency care, in a municipality in the northeastern region of the São Paulo state. Participants were nurses who met the inclusion criteria, which were the following: to be professional in the selected services, not being directly or indirectly involved with the study and to be present at the Unit at the time of data collection; and the exclusion criteria: absent from the Unit due to work leaves. For data collection, semi-structured, recorded and fully transcribed interviews were used. Descriptive statistics was used for the analysis and content analysis was used for the reports. There were 76 situations, 103 behaviors and 126 consequences. The situations had a predominance of negative references (73.7%), grouped into four categories: communication, interruptions in shift, environmental aspects and organizational aspects. The behaviors had a majority of negative references (63.1%), grouped into four categories: to communicate, to interrupt the shift, to question the work structure and to use technological resources. The consequences concentrated negative references (65.8%), grouped into four categories: communication, time, work organization and interpersonal relations. Positive references were understood as potentialities and negative references as limitations to shift. In this sense, the results regarding situations, behaviors and consequences showed a predominance of limitations for the shift, including interruptions, communication failures, lack of a suitable place for performing the shift and extension of working hours, which can have repercussions on inappropriate facts for user\'s assistance, such as the possibility of mistakes, duplication/repetition of care or interruption of it inadvertently. It is highlighted that, although less frequent, the potential references of the shift are related to communication in its form, focus, objectivity and content, to the information, use of resources that facilitate the transmission of information and adequate environment. The results allowed a situational diagnosis without, however, moving forward to propose suggestions and interventions, since the joint construction with those involved in the respective units can stimulate the participatory, creative and co- responsible process. It is necessary to re-signify the shift as part of the nursing activities, inserted in an institutional context that produces impact for the nursing and multiprofessional team, but above all for the users

Abstract:
A nova configuração do papel dos hospitais, na perspectiva da construção de redes de atenção à saúde, tem implicações para o trabalho do enfermeiro com cargo gerencial no tocante às suas ações/decisões administrativas, assistenciais e de ensino. Nesse sentido, este estudo teve o objetivo de identificar os aspectos facilitadores e dificultadores do trabalho do enfermeiro em cargos gerenciais, em um hospital público, de urgência, do interior paulista. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa de dados qualitativos, utilizando a Técnica do Incidente Crítico, para o levantamento das percepções e atitudes em relação ao objeto de investigação. O estudo foi desenvolvido em uma instituição hospitalar de ensino, pública, de nível terciário, situada no nordeste do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Participaram 15 enfermeiros em cargos gerenciais que atuavam no referido cargo há pelo menos um ano, sendo excluídos aqueles que se encontravam ausentes do local de trabalho à época da coleta dos dados, em decorrência de afastamentos legais ou por não ter sido possível realizar a entrevista após cinco agendamentos cancelados. A coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada individual. Foram relatados incidentes críticos, que se constituíram em 42 situações, das quais 33,3% foram positivas e 66,7% negativas; repercutindo em 57 comportamentos, sendo 84,2% positivos e 15,8% negativos e 74 consequências, sendo 41,9% positivas e 58,1% negativas. Os dados da análise de conteúdo foram agrupados por similaridade de conteúdo. Consideram-se aspectos facilitadores situação/comportamento/consequência com referências predominantemente positivas, as categorias, a saber: interação: equipe, paciente, família; gerenciar a unidade de trabalho; questionar a implantação do Grupo Gestor e comunicar-se. Em contrapartida, foram considerados aspectos dificultadores situação/comportamento/consequência com referências predominantemente negativas, as categorias: estrutura organizacional; gestão de infraestrutura e gestão de pessoas. Cabe destacar que esses resultados podem subsidiar o trabalho do enfermeiro em cargo gerencial e, também, dos próprios gestores do hospital, uma vez que os aspectos dificultadores do trabalho do enfermeiro em cargo gerencial dizem respeito, em sua maioria, a questões de pouca governabilidade para esse profissional. Assim, evidencia-se a necessidade de maior aproximação dos gestores e enfermeiros com cargo gerencial, a fim de, juntos, solucionarem questões que favoreçam o processo de cuidar e de coordenar o trabalho. É inegável a clareza que os participantes trouxeram sobre sua responsabilidade profissional, visto que, embora os incidentes tenham tido referências predominantemente negativas, os comportamentos apresentados tiveram referências predominantemente positivas, evidenciando os esforços que esses profissionais despendem para superar as dificuldades vivenciadas e a importância considerada em poder compartilhar decisões e ações a serem realizadas
The new configuration of the role of hospitals, with a view to building health care networks, has implications for the work of nurses in management positions in relation to their administrative, helth care and teaching actions/decisions. This study aimed to identify the facilitating and hindering aspects of the work of nurses in management positions in a public emergency hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo. A descriptive study with quantitative approach of the qualitative data was performed, using the Critical Incident Technique, to survey the perceptions and attitudes in relation to the researched object. The study was developed in a public tertiary-level teaching hospital, located in the northeast region of São Paulo state, Brazil. In total, 15 nurses in management positions, who worked in the function for at least one year, participated, excluding those who were absent from the workplace at the time of data collection as a result of legal absences or because it was not possible to conduct the interview after five appointments canceled. Data collection was performed through individual semi-structured interview. Critical incidents consisting of 42 cases were reported, of which 33.3% were positive and 66.7% negative, culminating in 57 behaviors, of which 84.2% positive and 15.8% negative, and 74 consequences, 41.9% positive and 58.1% negative. Content analysis data were grouped by similarity of content. Situation, behavior and consequence with predominantly positive references were considered as facilitating aspects, with the following categories: interaction- team, patient, family; to manage the work unit; to question the implementation of the Management Group and to communicate. On the other hand, situation, behavior and consequence with predominantly negative references were considered hindering aspects, with the following categories: organizational structure; infrastructure management and personnel management. It is highligted that these results may support the work of nurses in management positions as well as hospital managers, once the hindering aspects of the work of nurses in management positions are related mostly to issues of poor governance to this professional. Thus, the study evidences the need for closer alignment of managers and nurses with management position, in order to commonly solve issues that favor the care process and work coordination. It is undeniable the clarity that participants have about their professional liability, since although the incidents have had predominantly negative references, behaviors presented had mainly positive references, showing the efforts that these professionals expend to overcome the difficulties experienced and the importance considered in sharing decisions and actions to be taken

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: It is indisputable that hospital administrators especially chief executive officers (CEOs) have been playing more and more significant roles in hospital management since they kind of determine the performance of hospitals as captains do on the ship. Unsurprisingly, the discussion of what excellent hospital managers look like and where they come from is becoming more heated in recent years. Although some countries such as US and UK started hiring non physicians as hospital senior managers last century, aiming to leverage their business skills in order to improve hospital financial performance such as revenue and margins and control operation cost, there is a lack of enough evidence to show they perform better comparing with traditional physician executives regarding successful execution and management. In addition, how to cultivate hospital top managers in a both effective and efficient way is still under the question. OBJECTIVES: To review the citations in order to evaluate physicians as hospital leaders in terms of clinical performance of hospitals, and try to figure out the factors which may be accountable for the manpower planning of hospital managers. METHODS: MEDLINE (OvidSP) and PUBMED were used for systematically selection for key words, and the reference list of the results was also further examined to identify relevant articles. SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis on the basis of the data retrieved to illustrate the positive and negative, as well as internal and external factors relevant to physicians as hospital managers. RESULTS: 352 citations in total were searched at the first beginning and 16 articles were covered in this paper. It is agreed that leadership, business acumen, experience, the ability to manage up and down effectively and so on are consisted of the essential hospital CEO’s skill set, as same as CEO’ in other industries. Management education in health care appears to be generally considered crucial and necessary. There is, however, no clear consensus with regard to when in the medical education continuum, how, and for how long managerial education should be provided. MBA or MHA background is not as useful and helpful as we used to consider in terms of physician managers’ career development program. CONCLUSION: There is still a shortage of evidence indicating who is more suitable for the hospital administration position, physicians or non physicians because it is agreed that the standards of assessing hospital performance and accordingly evaluating hospital executives’ performance are still not clear and unified . However, it will be better if hospital managers have dual competencies in both clinical and business fields. Either medical-oriented or business-oriented is insufficient for extraordinary hospital leaders. In addition, the managerial capabilities of medical directors are the key to success. In responds to this consensus, when and how physicians are trained as business managers is critical because it is difficult for non physicians such as MBAs to be educated clinical skills. And thus the timing of education related to business knowledge and skill for physicians and the impacts are twofold. On one hand, “too early” cannot achieve the outcome as good as expected since physicians still lack of enough clinical experience. On the other hand, “too late” will cause the problem that senior clinicians hesitate to change into managers because they have already put a lot of energy and time into clinical work. As a result, role of policy makers in healthcare Human Resource is necessary and vital so as to balance the costs and benefits and to develop an appropriate pathway. These findings could give some hints for the government, to take into consideration whether to invest in better training programs or to enact regulations on manpower planning of hospital executives with aim to gain the further success of hospital management.

Abstract:

Inefficiencies in leadership and limited leadership strategies in hospitals contribute to delayed hospital discharges and an increased financial burden on a hospital. Three administrators from 2 hospitals who are part of a hospital conglomerate in Chicago, Illinois were selected for interview in this qualitative multiple case study to explore how hospital discharge strategies reduce delayed hospital discharges and improve profitability. Contingency was the primary theoretical theory for this study. The purposive sampling consisted of the selections of individual who were knowledgeable and had experience to organize, manage, and implement processes in an organization. Data collection occurred using face-to-face semistructured interviews, direct observation, and a review of discharge documents. Data analysis took place using the modified van Kaam method. Two emergent themes were identified relating to strategies for efficient communications and facilitating effective leadership. Implications for positive social change include the potential to improve health services within the community where access to health care is limited or the need exists for additional hospital beds. Positive leadership strategies in hospitals tend to contribute to the success and wellbeing of employees, patients, communities, and the economy.

Abstract:
Однією з найважливіших галузей будь-якої економіки є охорона здоров’я. Повільне економічне зростання загрожує країні з поганими системами охорони здоров’я та політикою. Протягом останніх років приватна медична галузь швидко зросла і зараз є ключовим джерелом медичної допомоги для багатьох людей. Однак ефективність деяких із цих установ знижувалася через такі фактори, як неналежне медичне обслуговування, медична халатність, недбалість, зростання медичних витрат та найм некваліфікованих працівників. Ці занепокоєння призвели до поганого надання послуг, негативного суспільного іміджу та скорочення клієнтів, що призвело до падіння ефективності приватних лікарень. Основною метою цього дослідження є пошук шляхів підвищення ефективності бізнес-адміністрування приватних лікарень. Для цього дослідження були використані підручники, журнали, відповідна література та Інтернет. Дослідження зробило висновок, що недостатнє фінансування та недостатній внутрішній дохід пов’язані з неправильним веденням обліку, чітко визначеними цілями та ефективним керівництвом. Бюрократія та втручання уряду в управлінські рішення додають до проблем, які постають адміністратори лікарень. У більшості лікарень навчання та розвиток робочої сили неефективні. Крім того, у цьому дослідженні було рекомендовано, щоб прозорість, підзвітність та процес прийняття рішень вимагали оцінки ефективності для покращення за допомогою впровадження найкращих практик. Лікарні повинні бути оцінені на предмет їх ефективності та ефективності, щоб забезпечити довгострокову підтримку. Огляд цих двох характеристик сприяє оптимізації розподілу ресурсів у сфері охорони здоров’я, що покращує економічний та соціальний добробут.
One of the essential industries in every economy is health care. Slow economic growth risks a country with lousy health systems and policies. The private health industry has risen rapidly in recent years and is now a key source of health care for many people. However, the performance of several of these institutions has been declining due to factors such as inadequate medical care, medical malpractice, carelessness, rising medical costs, and the employment of unqualified workers. These concerns have resulted in poor service delivery, a negative public image, and customer attrition, leading to a drop in private hospital performance. The primary purpose of this study is to look into ways to improve the efficiency of private hospital business administration. Textbooks, journals, related literature, and the internet were used for this research. The study concluded that inadequate financing and insufficient internally generated revenue are due to improper record keeping, clearly defined objectives, and effective leadership. Bureaucracy and government meddling in management decisions add to the challenges posed by hospital administrators. In most hospitals, workforce training and development are ineffective. Furthermore, this study recommended that Transparency, accountability and the decision-making process all require performance evaluation to improve through the adoption of best practices. Hospitals must be evaluated for their effectiveness and efficiency to secure long-term support. The review of these two characteristics contributes to resource allocation optimization in healthcare, which improves economic and social well-being.

Abstract:
The safety management in various hospitals recently has begun in order to reduce the incidents and prevent human errors. Among incidents that occurred in hospital, many are related to drug administration error. Drug administration error is a type of human error that occurs somewhere in the process spanning from medicine prescription by the doctor through administration by the nurse. We examined whether there is any problem with the incident report on the drug administration error in the hospital. Then, we found that it is difficult for safety manager with little experience, to find the problems in drug administration task. Also we found that they didn’t know how they would discuss countermeasures. Therefore we studied to help safety manager find and take measure in work including dangerous factors at drug administration tasks by evaluating the risk of the work. The method is evaluating the risk of the work in the drug administration tasks by using Factors List, Risk Score and Influence of the Factors. By using this method, it helps safety managers in the hospitals understand problems of the work in the drug administration tasks and activate the recurrence prevention activities of medical accident.

Abstract:
The history of the Veronese hospitals constitutes one of the most important and interesting chapters of the urban events. St. Zeno in his sermon on the avarice, already praised the Veronese inhabitants for their great availability toward suffering and sick people, to the point that almost every monastery and parishes became a reception centre for pilgrims, distressed and sick people. Population growth implied to improve the health initiatives. The events happened in Verona at the beginning of the twentieth century are a precious proof of the contribution which doctors and wise administrators offered to the Veronese health care system. It is a history intimately related to the munificent charity thanks to which the local protagonists sustained the birth and the development of the hospital complex (bequest of Alessandri, Cressotti Zorzi, Failoni, Roveda, only for quoting some of them). The hospital administration, together with doctors and inhabitants faced with burning and active debates, the transfer of the civil hospital from its seat, situated in the thin urban fabric of the city centre, to a suburb area: Borgo Trento. Borgo Trento is the hospital which the Veronese feel like their own hospital, characterized by a system of pavilions, long tree-lined avenue and luxuriant gardens. A new hospital complex, Borgo Roma Policlinico, was born in the 1970s in the south suburb of the city, offering great town planning and charitable opportunities. The integration of the two hospitals and the constitution of the Azienda Ospedaliera Integrata Verona are most recent history (2010), but seems follow the steps of the union between the Alessandri Children’s Hospital and the Sant’Antonio Civil Hospital, as a prosecution of the troubled hospital history of fusions, transfers and divisions.

Abstract:
This case focuses on how gender integration was embedded within the practices and administration of a tertiary hospital in the Philippines. The programme was selected as a promising practice because BGHMC stands out as an example of how to address gender inequalities and improve cultural competence. Based on in-depth analyses of interviews and published materials, it examines the contextual factors that gave rise to the institutionalisation of gender integration in BGHMC, the enabling factors and challenges encountered, outcomes achieved, and lessons learned, including those that might be transferable to other contexts.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of cordyceps preparations as a complementary preventive therapy for Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Condition being studied: At present, contrast agents are widely used in diagnostic and interventional radiology examinations worldwide. However, they can affect kidney function and cause a risk of renal impairment. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is defined as a rise in serum creatinine (SCr) levels by ≥ 25% of baseline or 44 µmol/l from the pre-contrast value within 72 h of intravascular administration of a contrast agent in the absence of an alternative etiology. The incidence of CIN varies widely among studies depending on study population and baseline risk factors, as for high-risk groups such as pre-existing renal insufficiency, diabetes, advanced age, or receiving nephrotoxic agents, the incidence is up to 30–50%. To date, CIN has been the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal failure, after impaired renal perfusion and nephrotoxic medications, which can lead to longer hospital stay, increased costs and higher mortality.

Full text
Abstract:
We examine the impact of public hospitals openings in Mexico on maternal and infant mortality. Using administrative data from the period 2001 to 2019 and taking advantage of the variation in the timing of the opening of public hospitals across Mexican municipalities, we estimate a staggered difference-in-differences model using the Callaway and SantAnna (2021) estimator. In doing so, we compare municipalities where a public hospital started to operate against municipalities without a hospital in operation, before and after the opening. Preliminary results show that openings substantially reduced maternal mortality rate (24 maternal deaths per 100,000 births, which amounts to a 40% decrease) and infant mortality rate (192 infant deaths per 100,000 births, which amounts to a 14% decrease). We provide evidence that the decrease in maternal and infant mortality is driven by an increase in institutional deliveries. In addition, we show heterogeneity by the type of hospital and the existence of previous medical infrastructure. In particular, the effect is driven by the opening of level II hospitals, and the opening of the first hospital in a municipality. This research closes a gap in our understanding of the health effects of expanding healthcare infrastructure in the developing world.

Full text
Abstract:
Identifying the impact of physicians on health outcomes is a challenging task due to the nonrandom sorting between physicians, hospitals, and patients. We overcome this challenge by exploiting a Colombian government program that randomly assigned 2,126 physicians to 618 small hospitals. We estimate the impact on the 256,806 children whose mothers received care in those hospitals during their pregnancy, using administrative data from the program, hospitals’ vital statistics records, and physicians’ records from mandatory health-specific graduation exams. We find that more-skilled physicians improve health at birth outcomes. That is, being assigned a physician with a one standard deviation higher performance in the health graduation exam scores decreases the probability of giving birth to an unhealthy baby by 6.31 percent. We present evidence that an underlying mechanism includes improving the targeting of care toward the more vulnerable mothers.
