Hospital Management Case Study

Paper Summary:

This paper states that the position of the hospital is that it lacks skilled management. The author points out that the organization seems no longer to believe in the premises for which it was established as reflected in the differences in the opinions of various people on the Board of the organization and in the inability of the CEO to control these differences. The paper relates that the CEO is not able to manage the differences in opinion among the hospital staff and there is a laxity in not fixing the rules under which the staff has to operate in terms of medical and financial operations especially in the area of medical insurance.

From the Paper:

"The thinking of the CEO is clear from his statement saying "I report directly to the Board of Directors of the Faith Foundation. Its diversity alone represents a kaleidoscope of thinking and decision-making. The grand point of commonality among the Board members is their support of the purpose, values, and survival of Faith Hospital." (Let It Pour: My First Assignment as Executive Assistant) The problem is thus not only in the hospital but goes even further and it goes to the Board. The Board embers do not have identical opinions about the method of running the hospital and this means that the differences of opinion will percolate down. At the same time, they all want the hospital to continue operating, but this is difficult if they do not have unanimity in thinking or decision making."
