Management Training for Hospital Administrators

Just befme taking over as the Director of Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, Dr Benjamin Pulimood spent a few months at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. He took keen interest in the PGP students and attended several seminars and courses. Major hospitals today have large budgets and immense problems of administration. Given these complexities, Dr Pulimood feels that management training would be useful for hospital administrators. He recommends short-term. management programmes for medical experts who have to administer large hospitals.

In the July-September 1987 issue of Vikalpa, Dr Benjamin Pulimood, Director, Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, discussed the relevance of management training for hospital administrators. Based on his. experience at CMC&H and the few months he spent at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, Dr Pulimood identified the areas that hospital administrators may find useful. In agreeing with Dr Pulimood, Dr Sara Varghese presents some important differences between a private institution such as CMC&H and a government medical college and hospital and draws implications for training administrators of government hospitals.

Advice on enuresis has been provided by a range of individuals. Many myths and misunderstandings have been responsible for the confusing range of opinions given to those who seek help. Management should be based on an understanding of the physiology of the condition and the established facts about its treatment. There is still a lack of awareness about how effective are the management strategies now proposed by those who base their practise on the extensive research that is now documented. The best results are obtained with conditioning therapy, when this is supervised and supported. There is an important role for 'wetness' alarms in conditioning. There are now body-worn mini-alarms, established by over a decade of use, that are inexpensive and reliable. There is a decreasing role for tricyclic medication. The recently introduced pharmaceutical Minirin (desmopressin) is useful in short-term management to get dryness on social occasions and, in selected individuals, might have a role in long-term control of enuresis, when conditioning has not been effective. There is an important need to provide advice and treatment facilities for all those with enuresis - a treatable condition.

Overall Effectiveness

Topical corticosteroids are commonly used for the short-term management of seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) of the scalp. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerance and cosmetic acceptability of desonide 0.05% solution, whose alcohol-free formulation is innovative with respect to traditional corticosteroid lotions, in the treatment of SD of the scalp. For this purpose, 155 adult subjects applied on scalp lesions desonide once daily for 1 week, on alternate days for 3 weeks, and two times a week for 4 weeks. A significant reduction of the severity of erythema, scaling and pruritus was observed (P<0.001). Interestingly, during the phase of gradual reduction of weekly applications, results were frequently maintained or improved further. Twenty patients (13%) at 4 weeks and 85 patients (58%) at 8 weeks had their scalp SD cleared. Most patients regarded the overall effectiveness, tolerability and acceptability as satisfactory; patients who had previously used common steroid lotions expressed a positive judgment on desonide solution compared to the other lotions in terms of efficacy, acceptability, rapidity of action, tolerability and persistence of effects. In conclusion, our preliminary findings indicate that desonide 0.05% solution is suitable for the short-term management of scalp SD.

AbstractZolpidem is a GABA (A) agonist, which is indicated for the short-term management of insomnia. Recent research provide evidence suggesting that zolpidem produces spatial working memory (WM) deficits and dependence; however, the underlying mechanisms of these effects are unknown. Since the auditory N400 component of event-related potentials (ERPS) is considered as an index of memory use of context processing, the present study focused on N400 waveform of ERPs elicited during a WM task in a case suffering from zolpidem dependence. The patterns of N400 waveform of this case were compared to the patterns obtained from healthy controls. This comparison revealed that zolpidem dependence is accompanied by reduced amplitudes located at posterior brain areas and diffuse prolongation of N400. These findings may indicate that zolpidem dependence manifests alterations with regard to the memory use of context processing, involving or affecting a wide-ranging network of the brain's structures.
