The Impact

Managing a health care organization on the basis of one set of information alone (e.g., financial information) does not give a full view of the impact of changes on the organization. A balanced scorecard approach can provide management with a comprehensive framework that turns an organization's strategic objectives into a coherent set of performance measures. This approach has been used extensively in industry, but seldom in health care organizations. By developing a scorecard approach, these organizations could obtain feedback providing a balanced view of organizational performance, letting them see if improvements in one area may have been achieved at the expense of another. It also demands that managers translate their general mission statement on customer service into specific measures that reflect the factors that really matter to customers.

The Impact

Increasing numbers of American families seek complementary and alternative medical care (CAM) for their children; at the same time health care organization and financing are undergoing radical changes. The combination of these factors provides a powerful incentive for research on the effectiveness and safety of CAM therapies and their role in treating children. This article describes a rationale, spectrum, priorities, and methodologies for a research agenda in holistic pediatrics. The top priorities are clinical research projects addressing the safety and effectiveness of alternative therapies used for vulnerable children suffering from serious illnesses. Additionally, major research questions involve the impact of the various definitions such as “alternative,” “complementary,” “folk,” “integrative,” and “holistic” medicine on perceptions of health care, professional education, and funding of products and services. Research efforts in alternative therapies need to address explicitly the tremendous heterogeneity between and among the practices, beliefs, and providers of professional and lay services. Qualitative ethnographic research is needed to understand the consequences of diverse explanatory models and meanings of health and illness for patient-provider communication, adherence with professional recommendations, and satisfaction with care. Health services researchers need to address questions related to the epidemiology of CAM practices, health manpower issues, practice characteristics and the process and content of health care and how discoveries about CAM care may enhance the quality of mainstream health services. A rationale is provided for prioritizing certain conditions and therapies within these efforts.

Columbus Regional Health (CRH, hereafter), a nonprofit organization in Columbus, Indiana, evolved from a traditional local hospital to an award-winning regional health-care provider through innovation. As CRH began implementing innovation processes, the city of Columbus was hit by a natural disaster that flooded the hospital's flagship facility forcing it to close its operations and relocate its critical patients to other hospitals in the area. As a result of the closure, CRH's leadership faced daunting challenges, including whether or not to continue paying its employees, how to continue to provide care for its patients and the community, and funding the cost of repairs and renovations to CRH facilities estimated at $180 million. The management's response to these challenges and how a culture of innovation emerged from that can teach us several important lessons. Pertinent questions are as follows: (a) How can we evaluate the innovation process undertaken by CRH? and (b) What was the impact of the organization innovation and flood crisis on shaping CRH's culture?

Care System

Health care organization is a complicated network of numerous professional groups, departments and specialists. A change is needed in order to enhance the service quality as well as the organizational performance in the health care system. However, it is difficult for most of the health care organizations to innovate; specifically in terms of managerial system and culture. A leader can act as a catalyst for achieving the effective change to remain successful in an ever changing, competitive environment. A crucial leadership gap exists in the current health care system. Numerous theories, cases, and models have influenced the current leadership strategies that can be connected to the healthcare setting. This review provides the impact of different leadership styles in organizational performances in health care management.

The Impact

This study assesses the perceptions of employees (in a health care environment that has just undergone a process of restructuring) of the process before restructuring, the impact of the restructuring on service delivery and performance as well as of outcomes, strategies and interventions implemented. A sample of 143 clinical and non-clinical employees from three of the largest regional hospitals within the Ministry of Health in Lesotho was drawn using cluster sampling. Data was collected using a questionnaire whose psychometric properties were statistically determined. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that employees were not convinced that the process of transformation undertaken in the health care organization was effective and, hence recommendations are made in this regard.

Health care professionals are committed to the continual improvement of the quality of patient care. The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) has launched a major research and development project intended to improve its ability to evaluate health care organizations and encourage greater attention to the quality of daily patient care. This chapter describes JCAHO’s challenge to evaluate capability and performance of health care organizations and practitioners. The intent of JCAHO’s agenda for change is to focus on patient outcomes and quality improvement through a more precise and objective evaluation of both clinical and managerial performance. Through the agenda for change, JCAHO and the health care organization will participate in a continuous-flow monitoring system in which clinical and organizational data are transmitted from the field to JCAHO, analyzed, and fed back to the health care organization

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an abrupt reduction in the use of in-person health care, accompanied by a corresponding surge in the use of telehealth services. However, the extent and nature of changes in health care utilization during the pandemic may differ by care setting. Knowledge of the impact of the pandemic on health care utilization is important to health care organizations and policy makers. Objective The aims of this study are (1) to evaluate changes in in-person health care utilization and telehealth visits during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) to assess the difference in changes in health care utilization between the pandemic year 2020 and the prepandemic year 2019. Methods We retrospectively assembled a cohort consisting of members of a large integrated health care organization, who were enrolled between January 6 and November 2, 2019 (prepandemic year), and between January 5 and October 31, 2020 (pandemic year). The rates of visits were calculated weekly for four settings: inpatient, emergency department (ED), outpatient, and telehealth. Using Poisson models, we assessed the impact of the pandemic on health care utilization during the early days of the pandemic and conducted difference-in-deference (DID) analyses to measure the changes in health care utilization, adjusting for the trend of health care utilization in the prepandemic year. Results In the early days of the pandemic, we observed significant reductions in inpatient, ED, and outpatient utilization (by 30.2%, 37.0%, and 80.9%, respectively). By contrast, there was a 4-fold increase in telehealth visits between weeks 8 (February 23) and 12 (March 22) in 2020. DID analyses revealed that after adjusting for prepandemic secular trends, the reductions in inpatient, ED, and outpatient visit rates in the early days of the pandemic were 1.6, 8.9, and 367.2 visits per 100 person-years (P<.001), respectively, while the increase in telehealth visits was 272.9 visits per 100 person-years (P<.001). Further analyses suggested that the increase in telehealth visits offset the reduction in outpatient visits by week 26 (June 28, 2020). Conclusions In-person health care utilization decreased drastically during the early period of the pandemic, but there was a corresponding increase in telehealth visits during the same period. By end-June 2020, the combined outpatient and telehealth visits had recovered to prepandemic levels.
