Baylor Healthcare Systems Term Paper by Peter Pen

This paper explains that, to meet the new and ongoing healthcare environment challenges of new technologies, standards and patient and staffing demands, Baylor Healthcare System is continually implementing the methods of management---planning, organizing, leading and controlling. The author points out that, to assist Baylor in meeting patient expectations as well as risk management issues, Baylor hires consultants to review health-care practices in an effort to deliver health-care services in a manner that is conducive to the needs of the patient. The paper relates that because controlling is monitoring progress of employees as well as the organization, the progress of employees' use of technical equipment is monitored on a regular basis and procedures are set up to evaluate the performance of all employees involved with patient care.
