Study Notes
Health System Organization Models
- The New Public Health integrates and coordinates various health care facilities and programs.
- It evolves as networks with administrative and financial interactions between parts.
- Each organization provides specific services or service groups.
- How internal functions and inter-organizational interactions operate affect health system outcomes, management, and performance.
- Health systems act like networks with formal and informal relations, potentially decentralized, with diverse communication, payment, regulation, and authority levels.
Functional Model
- Suitable for smaller hospitals.
- Organizes into specific functional departments (medical, nursing, administration, pharmacy, maintenance, dietary).
- Each department reports to the CEO.
- The governing body (e.g., local board, national system) holds legal responsibility and financial oversight.
- Medical staff can be employed by the hospital or in private practice, some in administrative services.
- Hospitals increasingly employ "hospitalers" for inpatient and emergency services, particularly for female physicians balancing work-life.
Corporate Model
- Commonly used in larger hospitals or during mergers
- CEO delegates responsibilities to senior management team members with control over hospital sectors.
- This model often features a divisional structure, enabling individual service divisions with budget and decision-making autonomy.
Matrix Model
- Combines pyramidal and network structures.
- Suitable for public health departments or health maintenance organizations
- Individual staff members report hierarchically but also work in multidisciplinary teams on specific projects/programs.
- This model enables lateral integration: specialized staff members serving both institutional (hospital) and community roles.
- Hospital organizational structures should adapt to their circumstances and healthcare economics & payment systems.
