Planning Organizing Staffing Leading Controlling 1. Planning  Thinking ahead and selecting future actions  Identifying goals and objectives  Stating premises and assumptions  Developing specific and detailed plans  Gathering and analyzing information to make decisions 2.

Controlling  Monitoring performance  Setting planned performance standards  Comparing actual performance with planned performance  Taking corrective action to achieve objectives A little more about controlling… Controlling Hopefully within a positive environment so that the process is accepted as a normal part of routine Is a “forward looking” process – the manager hopes to prevent a problem before it happens (proactive) Managers try to anticipate deviations from plans Is a “feedback” mechanism for planning Is the “policing” operation in management When does Controlling start? Starts early – in the Planning phase Anticipate problems Guidelines are established to prevent going off course Develop policies to make sure everyone is doing the “same thing”! Close supervision & tight leadership at first How does a manager control? Manager uses rewards and positive feedback to motivate (encourage) conformity (sameness) Less control needed Manager develops control tools Inspections Control charts Work counts Special reports Audits Basic Control Process: It involves three phases that occur over and over 1. Establish standards 2. Measuring performance 3. Correcting action 1. Establishing Standards They give specific details about what is acceptable Helps employees understand what is expected How many hours are allowed to do this? (ie re-filing of clinic charts) How quickly must it be done? Speed and time limits (ie 1 200 lines of transcription completed per day) How much must be done? The quality that must be produced (ie code 20 charts a day) How many mistakes are allowed? (assigning duplicate hospital numbers) 2. Measuring Performance This involves comparing the work – (the goods produced or the service that is provided) – against the standard This might be with an employee’s evaluation o Does the employee know what they need to know i.o.t meet the standard? o Does the employee have enough resources to meet the standard? o Are there enough employees? 2…Measuring performance continued It should include client satisfaction: What do the patients have to say? Maybe through surveys. It may require inspections of what is being produced. It may require observation of employees at work. 3. Correcting action Does anything need to be changed in the employees practices? Is any new training required? Is there equipment that needs to be fixed or changed? Do we have to hire more people? Do we need better quality of the raw goods that we use? Do we need to switch supplier of equipment?
