Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine whether there were associations between hospital costs and hospital size, hospital location, hospital ownership type, and Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) participation. The 2008 American Hospital Association annual survey responses were used as the instrument for a retrospective secondary study. Analyzing results from the various tests employed in this study showed there was a statistically significant association between hospital costs and hospital size. There were statistically significant differences between the means when comparing cost with hospital location and ownership type. There was not an association between hospital costs and GPO participation, likely as a result of the unadjusted cost metric used. Further research using a time series approach would help determine the true association of GPO participation. Expanding the criteria to identify whether the hospitals participate in a regional alliance may also return different results relative to cost and GPO participation.

Abstract:
A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Management from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics
Applying advanced strategies for procurement can save hospitals substantial amounts of money. Many different strategies exist which fulfil different aims. Group purchasing organizations, the use of a consignment stock and supplier performance management are especially suited to improve the hospitals’ procurement. Based on focus interviews with procurement managers of Portuguese hospitals it became clear that there is enormous room to improve the general way how procurement is done but also the application of the three strategies mentioned. Given the overall importance of hospital logistics, the hospitals’ performance could make substantial progress when improving the hospitals’ procurement processes.

Abstract:
Healthcare leaders who struggle to understand the importance of interactions between patients, staff, and physicians can result in poor patient experience. Healthcare care leaders who understand the importance of patient experience can develop customer service training modules and tutorials to improve organizational outcomes. The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship between staff communication, physician communication, size of the hospital, and patient experience. House's path-goal theory was used to frame the study. Secondary data were collected from hospitals in Northeastern Ohio, that reported patient experience scores through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid's Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems survey database for the years 2016 and 2017. The results of the multiple linear regression indicated the results were significant, F(5, 144) = 56.822, p <.001, R2 = .652. The findings may provide health care leaders with tools to communicate with staff on how to improve patient experience through improving employee and patient engagement, thereby improving patient experience scores.

Studies and researches on the reasons of the increase in healthcare costs tends to focus on a set of factors, such as the increase of materials and medicines prices, the new technologies, the aging of the population, among others. However, there are few studies that analyses the interactions between the healthcare system participants which may result in inefficiencies, or reveal the logic behind the exchange of values between healthcare market players and its rationality, in order to identify some issues which may contribute to the raising costs in the healthcare system, not followed by an increase of benefits to the end users. It is known that great part of healthcare expenses occurs within the hospital settings. Therefore this research analyzes some aspects of the hospital purchasing, in order to describe major aspects in the relationship between some parts involved in its dynamics, identify specificities of hospital purchasing, and verify some inefficiencies in the health care value chain. Four private hospitals of the city of São Paulo have been chosen and from each of these hospitals, an executive of the high administration, the purchasing/supply manager and a physician were interviewed. From the perception of the interviewees some inefficiencies were identified, as the dependence of some hospitals on the materials and medicine commercialization margins, which reveals the existence of a cost in the system not directly related to the real value added by the hospitals; the difficulty in standardizing the surgical materials that represent one the major purchase expenses in these institutions; the existence of supplier’s marketing practices that try to annul the rationality of the purchase; the difficulty to align the objectives between hospitals, health plans, physicians and suppliers, among others.
Os estudos e pesquisas sobre as razões do crescimento dos custos na Saúde apontam um conjunto de fatores, como o aumento dos preços dos materiais e medicamentos, os avanços tecnológicos, o envelhecimento da população, entre outros. Porém, poucos são os estudos que procuram analisar como a interação entre as partes que constituem o sistema de saúde pode resultar em ineficiências, ou que procuram desvendar a lógica de como se dão as trocas de valores entre os players desse mercado e sua racionalidade, a fim de identificar fatores que elevem os custos no sistema sem um aumento de benefícios aos usuários finais. Sabe-se que grande parte dos gastos na saúde ocorre dentro dos hospitais. Sendo assim, este trabalho buscou analisar a gestão de compras dos hospitais, para descrever aspectos relevantes no relacionamento entre algumas partes envolvidas na dinâmica da compra hospitalar, conhecer especificidades da gestão de compras destas organizações, e verificar algumas ineficiências na cadeia de valor da saúde. Foram escolhidos quatro hospitais privados do município de São Paulo, onde foram entrevistados um executivo da alta administração, um gestor de compras e um médico. A partir da percepção destes entrevistados foram identificadas algumas ineficiências, como a dependência de alguns hospitais nas margens de comercialização de materiais e medicamentos, que mostra a existência de um custo no sistema, desvinculado do real valor agregado pelos hospitais; a dificuldade em se padronizar os materiais cirúrgicos que representam um dos maiores gastos em compras nestas instituições; a existência práticas de marketing dos fornecedores que tentam anular a racionalidade da compra, a dificuldade de alinhamento de objetivos entre hospitais, operadoras de planos de saúde, médico e fornecedores, entre outros.

Abstract:
Os hospitais, embora sejam instituições predominantemente fornecedoras de serviços, à semelhança das indústrias, também apresentam necessidade de gestão de materiais. A diversidade de itens de consumo vai desde gêneros alimentícios até insumos de alta especificidade, como por exemplo, os que são utilizados em sofisticados exames de biologia molecular. A gestão de materiais de consumo em um hospital de ensino, público e de nível terciário é ainda mais complexo, pois há uma relativa autonomia de cada área no planejamento de seus materiais, alta exigência na qualidade dos itens, com consequente seleção de marcas. É um incorporador, e criador de novas técnicas e tecnologias, e tem que obedecer a legislação vigente. Há ainda outras variáveis relacionadas, como a logística, orçamento escasso, falta de recursos humanos qualificados. O presente estudo descreveu os materiais de consumo de um hospital universitário de grande porte, classificou os materiais de consumo segundo o valor financeiro (ABC) e também quanto a criticidade (VEN ou XYZ) e propôs política de gestão utilizando estas classificações, com o objetivo de melhorar o desempenho dos resultados das políticas de abastecimento. Trata-se de um estudo tipo relato de caso, que utilizou a coleta de dados, informações, além da pesquisa documental disponibilizados através de sistema informatizado para a analise dos materiais de consumo programados na instituição. O resultado foi a classificação dos itens através dos valores e também em relação a importância operacional dos itens em um dado processo .Através do cruzamento das duas classificações foi possível identificar os grupos de materiais que precisam de maior controle em função dos valores e criticidade. Assim como o acompanhamento dos processos de aquisição e a quantidade a ser estocada para a sua utilização em todas as atividades realizadas no hospital.
Hospitals, although mainly service-providing institutions, like the industries also have need for materials management. The diversity of consumable items ranging from foodstuffs to high specific inputs, such as those used in sophisticated molecular biology tests. consumption of materials management in a teaching hospital, public and tertiary level is even more complex because there is a relative autonomy of each area in the planning of their materials, high demands on the quality of the items, with consequent selection of brands, is one developer and creator of new techniques and technologies and have to obey the law. There are other related variables, such as logistics and meager budget, lack of skilled positions. This study described the material consumption of a large university hospital, ranked consumables according to the financial value (ABC) as well as the criticality (VED or XYZ) and proposed management policy using these classifications in order to improve the performance results of supply policies. This is a case study, which used data collection, information, and document research available through a computerized system for the analysis of consumables programmed in the institution. The result was the classification of items through the values and in relation to the operational significance of the items in a given .Through process the intersection of two classifications is possible to identify groups of materials that require greater control on the amounts and criticality. And the monitoring of procurement processes and the quantity to be stored for use in all activities in the hospital.

Abstract:
The study aimed to identify leading practices to promote environmentally friendly and efficient efforts in surgical healthcare. Despite widespread enthusiasm for going green in the U.S. economy, little information is available to inform the medical community on the effort. We explore safe and efficient strategies for hospitals and healthcare providers to protect the environment while delivering high-quality care. As part of the study design, we performed a systematic review of the literature using relevant Pubmed search terms and surveyed a panel of hospital managers and CEOs of healthcare organizations pursuing green initiatives. Recommendations were itemized and reviewed with each panelist for a consensus agreement. At the end, we identified forty-three published articles and obtained interview data from the 7-member expert panel. Five green recommendations for surgical practices were identified: (1) OR Waste Reduction and Segregation; (2) Environmentally Preferable Purchasing; (3) Energy Consumption Management; (4) Pharmaceutical Waste Management; (5) Reprocessing of Single Use Medical Devices. We concluded that the medical community has a large opportunity to implement green practices in surgical units. These practices can have significant benefits to both the healthcare community and the environment.

This exploratory research is conducted to reveal the mate- rials purchasing and inventory control methods utilized in the subject hospital. Data have been gathered by deeply interviewing ,questionnaireing and actual participating in operation process. For the purpose of study, analyzing the actual condition of sub- ject hospital''s materials purchasing and inventory management, trying to make managerial diagnoses, unearthing managerial blind-points and proposing improvements. This study apply ABC classification and EOQ/ROP inventory theories to subject hospital''s materials management and thus evaluate the feasibility and economic effects of proposed quan- titative models. The conclusions of this study are presented as follows : 1.Utilizing ABC classification on subject hospital can poten- tially improve its management effectiveness; so EOQ/ ROP quantitative models are worth implementing immediately. 2.The lead time have to be controlled in shorter than EOQ supply days thus the EOQ model can function effectively. 3.The key factor to reduce safety quantity is to narrow down the standard deviation of lead time.

This study aims at assessing the effectiveness of facilitating an integrated system of professional development model in a very effective management medicine inventory of Kaohsiung Municipal Hospitals. The database of medicine purchasing and inventory has been collected from 1/1/2001 to 12/31/2002 . First of all , Presenting ABC Inventory Analysis with the classification of medicine held in inventory according to the specified valuation criterion, then, searching for a good way to run . Second, Finding the best performance evaluation of the medicine purchasing and inventory management of Kaohsiung Municipal Hospitals are E hospital & D hospital by Data Envelop Analysis . Third , Using multiple regression, the estimates (coefficients and constant) can be used to construct a prediction equation and generate predicted scores on a variable for further analysis ⑴ how to minimize No. of all items? ⑵ how to find the best way to minimize the cost of inventory? Results of the study suggest that ,㈠ The average cost of item A medicine by ABC Inventory Analysis of 5 Kaohsiung Municipal Hospitals reveals “ 20-80 rules“ ,by adding item B medicine shows 41.13﹪items ,but 95.53﹪money. By EOQ/ROP method ,item A & B medicine can fit the model .By two-bin system ,the item C medicine fit the model too. By the time when every hospital has an integrated system of professional development model , incorporated with other management skills, effectiveness of this model on cost containment may be more significant . ㈡ Data envelop analysis (DEA), which can provide better understanding of the efficiency of academic research libraries. this method, with proper model of library inputs and outputs, tells us the best practices in the peer groups as well as the technical efficiency score for each library, As such, it is the tightest non-decreasing concave function that provides an envelop to the data. Hence, With CCR model (the minimal input:No. of all items,the outputs are average monthly cost of medicine inventory & average monthly cost of purchasing medicine.). E hospital & D hospital on the Function(x) are often called the relative technical efficiencies. In other words, to retain efficiency , by reducing 8.57% No.of all items, cutting 73.84% average monthly cost of medicine inventory,increasing 17.59% average monthly cost of purchasing medicine are very effective. ㈢ By multiple linear regressin , when controlling other covaviates,⑴ Knowing average monthly cost of purchasing medicine explains almost 89.6% of the variability of No.of all items. The equation is:No.of all items.=75.043+.00003683 × average monthly costing of the purchasing medicine. Knowing average monthly cost of purchasing medicine ; the largest inventory and items that never used in one year can completly explains almost 100% of the variability of the average monthly cost of medicine inventory . The equation is:average monthly cost of medicine inventory=8778394.574-197475.518 × the largest inventory+432942.915 × items that never used in one year+ .373 × average monthly cost of purchasing medicine. Therefore, the suggestion of ABC Inventory Analysis is proved to be a very effective cost containment strategy for medicine management. Using EOQ/ROP model of Item A、Item B in buying medicine . Item C takes two-bin system method by a time period. The equation is:purchasing amount=the least inventory+ setting purchasing amount-inventory amount-the amount of last lot number by ordering.).In purchasing medicine’s procedure , the suggestion is book of the standard of procedure of medicine purchasing and inventory management , grouping purchasing cases should be properly authorized , shorting the lead time in order to controlling the stable lead time , controlling the purchasing period of non-grouping purchasing medicine. In the management of medicine inventory, both of computerizing the medicine inventory , for controlling of all medicine and counting the amount of medicine inventory at nursing station is necessary . Afterall , in order to rationalizing the management of purchasing medicine and inventory , The larger valuations of this study have faced more restrictions are the programs to diagnosis of the example of Kaohsiung Municipal Hospitals . Therefore, this study is proved to be a very effective cost containment strategy for medicine inventory management .

Abstract:
Supply chain management has been used by businesses and the companies have attributed their success to effective supply chain management. But in case of healthcare sector, supply chain management is not that prominent since it deals with finished products. Supply Chain Management is a concept, strategy and approach that is proving its worth in hospital management all over the world. The pressures on hospital supply chains are changing. In response to these pressures some hospitals have initiated green supply chain management (GSCM) practices that provide tremendous opportunities to improve supply chain performance. This paper tries to provide empirical results in order to examine the impact of GSCM practices in building the positive image of the Indian hospitals incorporating two moderating variables namely regulatory and competition. In order to gain unique insights of current levels of awareness/adoption of GSCM and the potential impact GSCM could have in building organizational image, a survey was conducted among 53 hospitals from NCR (National Capital Region) India. Moderated hierarchical regression analysis has been used to arrive at the following results: (1) Indian hospitals have experienced increasing environmental pressure to implement GSCM practices; (2) The implementation of GSCM practices have helped in building positive organizational image (3) The existence of competitive and regulatory pressures influence hospitals to implement green supply chain practices that eventually help in building positive organizational image especially when these pressures cause adoption of green purchasing and green hospital services even though organizational image is most influenced by Internal environment management; (4) Hospitals implement green transportation policies under regulatory and competitive pressures. Implications for operations strategists from these relationships are also discussed.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to select the most suitable combination of maintenance policies in the different subsystems that make up an operating theatre. To do so a multicriteria model will be developed using the Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH) technique considering multiple decision centres: The Hospital's technical services, environment and occupational risk prevention managers, healthcare managers (operating theatres and health activity programming), healthcare staff, technicians, purchasing service managers and Hospital executives. The model uses functional, safety and technical-economical criteria, amongst which is availability. Mean availability for repairable systems has been measured to assess this criterion, using Markov chains from the data obtained over three years from the subsystems of a Hospital operating theatre. All this is aimed at increasing the operating theatre's availability and, consequently, increasing physical safety in patient operations and reducing the number of delayed operations due to technical malfunctions.

Moderated hierarchical regression analysis has been used to arrive at the following results: (1) Indian hospitals have experienced increasing environmental pressure to implement GSCM practices; (2) The implementation of GSCM practices have helped in building positive organizational image (3) The existence of competitive and regulatory pressures influence hospitals to implement green supply chain practices that eventually help in building positive organizational image especially when these pressures cause adoption of green purchasing and green hospital services even though organizational image is most influenced by Internal environment management; (4) Hospitals implement green transportation policies under regulatory and competitive pressures. Implications for operations strategists from these relationships are also discussed.

Abstract:
Since the National Health Service reforms were introduced, the NHS has moved towards a greater emphasis on accountability and efficiency of healthcare. These changes rely on the swift delivery of IT systems, implemented into the NHS because of the urgency to collect data to support these measures. The case study details the events surrounding the introduction of a patient data management system into an intensive care unit in a UK hospital. It shows that its implementation was complex and involved organizational issues related to the costing of healthcare, legal and purchasing requirements, systems integration, training and staff expertise, and relationships with suppliers. It is suggested that the NHS is providing an R&D environment which others are benefiting from. The NHS is supporting software development activities that are not recognized, and the true costs of this task are difficult to estimate. It is also argued that introducing PDMS crystallizes many different expectations making them unmanageably complex. This could also be due to PDMS being a higher order innovation that attempts to integrate information systems products and services with the core business.
