In this paper, we examined the employee Performance Appraisal System (PAS) of hospitals and gave a description of the role and significance of employees in the PAS covering 27% of the population of Hungarian state-run hospitals. In the research, we also examined the relationship between performance appraisal and employee engagement, as well as the practice of measuring employee satisfaction. We created a scale called Employee participation in the employee performance appraisal scale. Based on our findings, we can state that the employee is an active participant in the Hungarian performance appraisal systems of hospitals, as they are involved in the appraisal and their views are taken into account. It has been found that where employee satisfaction is measured, there is an opportunity for the employees to formulate reflections on their evaluations. Although not outstanding, the employee is considered a partner in the evaluation of his work.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between patient experience and readmissions by exploring whether the deviation from an ideal patient-experience profile is linked to higher readmissions. Using patient experience scores, hospitals were assigned to one of four groups based on their deviation from an ideal profile. The readmission rates for the four groups were analyzed using Profile Deviation, ANOVA, and Least Significant Difference. Patient experience is a central component of hospital performance, specifically, readmission rates. Findings indicate as patient experience scores decrease, profile deviation increases, with a corresponding increase in readmission rate. This study provides empirical support for administrators focusing on patient experience as part of an overall strategy for reducing hospital readmissions. The key feature of this research is the use of a profile deviation methodology to examine the relationship between patient experience and readmission rates.

Abstract Objective The federal electronic health record (EHR) certification process was intended to ensure a baseline level of system quality and the ability to support meaningful use criteria. We sought to assess whether there was variation across EHR vendors in the degree to which hospitals using products from those vendors were able to achieve high levels of performance on meaningful use criteria. Materials and Methods We created a cross-sectional national hospital sample from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology EHR Products Used for Meaningful Use Attestation public use file and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Medicare EHR Incentive Program Eligible Hospitals public use file. We used regression models to assess the relationship between vendor and hospital performance on 6 Stage 2 Meaningful Use criteria, controlling for hospital characteristics. We also calculated how much variation in performance is explained by vendor choice. Results We found significant associations between specific vendor and level of hospital performance for all 6 meaningful use criteria. Epic was associated with significantly higher performance on 5 of the 6 criteria; relationships for other vendors were mixed, with some associated with significantly worse performance on multiple criteria. EHR vendor choice accounted for between 7% and 34% of performance variation across the 6 criteria. Discussion A nontrivial proportion of variation in hospital meaningful use performance is explained by vendor choice, and certain vendors are more often associated with better meaningful use performance than others. Our results suggest that policy-makers should improve the certification process by including more “real-world” scenario testing and provider feedback or ratings to reduce this variation. Hospitals can use these results to guide interactions with vendors. Conclusion Vendor choice accounts for a meaningful proportion of variation in hospital meaningful use performance, and specific vendors are consistently associated with higher or lower performance across criteria.

Hospital health services cannot be separated from nursing services which have a role in improving the health status of patients. The team method is the organization of nursing services using a team consisting of groups of clients and nurses. Nurse performance is a measure of the quality of service in a hospital. Performance is influenced by individual variables, psychological variables and organizational variables. This study aims to determine the relationship between professional nursing care management (MAKP) TEAM and nurse satisfaction in the hospital. The type of research used is descriptive analytic research with a "cross sectional" approach. Population of 60 people and sample of 60 people, the sampling technique was used with total sampling. MAKP TEAM data collection with nurse satisfaction through questionnaires. The statistical test used the chi-square test. The results of the bivariate analysis of the relationship between the Professional Nursing Care Method (MAKP) TEAM and the Satisfaction of Nurses in the Inpatient Room of the Sari Mutiara Lubuk Pakam Hospital from the results of the chi square test obtained a value of p = 0.000 <0.05, where Ha is accepted, which means there is a relationship between professional nursing care methods ( MAKP) Team with Nurse satisfaction.So from the results of the research conducted there was a relationship between the TEAM Professional Nursing Care Method (MAKP) and the Satisfaction of Nurses in the Inpatient Room of the Sari Mutiara Lubuk Pakam Hospital. It is hoped that the head of the room will increase his role in aspects of the management function. It is hoped that the hospital will increase teamwork in the application of the team method in the inpatient room so as to produce nurse satisfaction and produce perceived job satisfaction among nurses. It is hoped that the next researchers will be able to conduct more in-depth research on nurses who work in the hospital.

Abstract Background: Today, due to complex environment and rapidly changing of health industry, hospitals need to optimize their organizational performance to achieve a competitive advantage. One of the important factors for achieving competitive advantage is the effective human resources management through application of appropriate human resource strategies. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between human resource strategies and organizational performance based on the balanced scorecard. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among clinical and administrative staff in a public hospital in Isfahan, Iran. All eligible staff entered the study (n=200). Data were collected using self reported questionnaires during July 2018. The main questionnaire contained 32 items which investigated employees' perceptions on human resource strategies (including seven strategies) and organizational performance based on the balanced scorecard approach. In order to analyzing data, Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis were applied using SPSS/21 software (P <0.05). Results: In this study, 154 questionnaires were completed and returned (return rate = 77%). Human resource strategies and organizational performance were evaluated at a medium level. There was a significant positive relationship between human resource strategies and organizational performance (r = 0.73, p = 0.001). Pearson correlation coefficient showed that human resource strategies had the highest relationship with organizational performance in the dimension of growth and learning (r = 0.669, p = 0.001) and the least relationship with the dimension of financial performance (r = 0.455, 0.001). 0 = p). Regression analysis showed that all human resources strategies were effective on organizational performance (R=0.998, R2=0.997, ADJ.R2=0.997). Staff training and development strategy (Beta = 0. 265, p = 0.000), personnel compensation (Beta = 0.212, p = 0.000) and recruitment strategy (Beta = 0.208, B, P=0.000) had the greatest impact on organizational performance respectively. Conclusion: In order to improve hospital performance, it seems that the development of human resource strategies (especially staff training and development, and compensation strategy) can be considered by hospital managers. The findings of this study can be considered for developing hospital performance in similar context.

A gap exists in the extant literature on linking information technology governance vis-à-vis hospital performance. Specifically, this work offers insights to fill this gap by adopting the COBIT 5 framework and ISO 38500 standards in examining the relationship between IT governance principles and balanced scorecard (BSC) dimensions of hospital performance. The proposed study investigated the influence of IT governance on Tehran's hospitals' performance. Data were gathered and analyzed from fifty-three (53) questionnaires administered to Health Information Systems (HIS) professionals and IT managers. Results showed that all IT governance dimensions have a positive correlation with hospital performance and IT governance has a significant positive impact on Tehran's hospitals' performance.
