Management Theory and Associated Urinary Tract Infections
Infection of the urinary tract constitutes a great share of all infections acquired in hospitals (Klevens, Edwards, & Richards, 2007); of these, most cases are of CAUTI or catheter-associated urinary tract infection, which is "reasonably preventable," according to the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). CMS doesn't reimburse medical facilities for this disease any more. Of the best strategies to reduce CAUTI is ensuring never to employ urinary catheters unless one perceives an appropriate symptom.
Several research works, some even dating back many decades, can be found, of ways to decrease or prevent the development of CAUTI. Over the years, a few of the recommendations have reformed; for instance, at one time, routine catheter irrigation was recommended; however, presently, the medical profession deems it as a practice that must be avoided. Therefore, it is imperative for healthcare organizations to make sure their methods, educational matter, and policies, remain in line with the latest evidence-based, recommended policies and procedures. Four care elements are recommended, to lower/prevent CAUTI cases:
1. Do not utilize urinary catheters until necessary.
2. Use aseptic technique for inserting urinary catheters.
3. Urinary catheter maintenance should be done on the basis of recommended guidelines.
4. The need for urinary catheters must be reviewed every day, and removed without delay.
Putting the above 4 elements into practice calls for a multidisciplinary plan, which involves doctors, leaders, nurses,...
Chester Barnard, Douglas McGregor, and Elton Mayo assert via their research observations that entrepreneurs can accomplish their respective productivity targets if they developed humane organizations and workplace atmospheres for employees, reflecting their needs. That is, managers need to focus on fostering a workplace environment, which recognizes employees' individual and job-related needs, and refrains from treating them in an inhumane manner, or as a mere 'part' of the organizational 'machinery'.
These theories' key characteristics include:
1. Focus on improving efficiency of employees by a consideration of their needs. Their job tasks must be rewarding and interesting. Employees must be offered training, which enables multi-skilling and career path charting. Employee contribution to the organization must also be recognized.
1. Management is concerned with leadership, employee motivation, and organizational communication.
1. Team based
1. Workers aren't strictly supervised; rather, they are made responsible and accountable for whatever they do
1. Shorter command chain (Nixon,…

Split and sharing of the jobs leads to the organizations benefit, as talented individuals who are unable to work on a fulltime basis get an employment chance.

" [Michael E. Thorn p.4] IMPACT OF Management FUNCTION ON OPERATIONS Management This section analyses the impact that the previously discussed functions of management has on the operations management. Planning is the most important pillar of operations management. When an organization plans its goals and sets down its strategies, it then becomes easier for the managerial level to decide and distribute the work load. Without any plan of action, the organization or company
From the beginning of Organizational Development (OD), the action research model (ARM) has been the systematizing advance for doing OD. There are four stages that lead to continuous improvement. During the plan stage, choices are made about what may be undertaken to advance the organization and its practices, by means of a diversity of choice making apparatus. During the do stage, those tactics are put into practice in a provisional
Since, this one lacks structure means that many employees can become confused about their responsibilities. Once this occurs, it can often lead to employee issues, where this confusion can become an issue of contention between the staff and management. As management is telling them to engage in particular activity, yet they don't understand why they are doing such tasks. Over time, this can cause moral to drop as those
