Organizational Development
The combined hospital system in the southeast region has been mandated to consolidate its resources and integrate the larger Metropolitan hospital with the five smaller rural hospitals. The terms of this merger has not been decided and the organizations are have been left to themselves to try to reach an agreement. If an agreement is not reached by the leadership of these organizations then a special administrator could be appointed who has the authority to decide and impose the conditions of the arrangement.
The primary problem is not each individual organization does not support the mandated integration. The smaller hospitals have voiced resistance while the larger Metropolitan hospital has said they support the move.
Root Causes
One of the primary root causes is that there are disagreements and different perceptions over funding. The smaller hospitals are all self-sufficient and are free of debt. They have achieved this through good management and fundraising. However, the larger hospital had a moderate sized accumulation of debt that the smaller hospitals viewed a symptom of mismanagement. Yet the larger hospital blames the rural hospitals of being overfunded and state that they handle more complex cases.
Jessica is a 47 hospital administrator with a stellar reputation and has been appointed as the lead in the task force to integrate the different hospitals. She faces a number of challenges although she has been identified as the most qualified to overcome these challenges. If she could not overcome...
Thus everyone has a stake in compromising and helping Jessica and the task force broker a deal between the various stakeholders.
Organizational Change
One of the biggest decisions that will have to be made is what the new organizational structure will look like. If the hospital system consolidates much of the leadership function and centralizes it then this could save the system an enormous amount of resources in general. The other option is to keep a decentralized structure in which the regional hospitals still retain a considerable amount of autonomy in their areas. There are also many points between the two extreme positions in which there could be compromises in the centralized vs. decentralized structures.
Organizational Development

It has the potential to improve efficiencies and the effectiveness of the healthcare system in general through creating quantities of scale in various business functions. One of the primary drivers of these need will be not only to improve the public services, but also that there is growing competition in the industry. Furthermore, the growing demand for healthcare services in general also demands that systems streamline their operations to be able to increase efficiency.
There will be much resistance to the upcoming organizational change. However, there are many ways in…

Organizational Change Plan -- Part III: As explained in the previous articles, the setting up of an Electronic Medical Record in a healthcare facility is a positive measure to improve the efficiency of the facility and cope up with the constantly changing technological world. The implementation of the system in a health facility is also beneficial in enhancing the quality of services, productivity, and the overall output. One of the most
Systems Engineering Systems Simulation Replicating the performance of a complex system through the use of systems simulation provides invaluable insight into the constraints, workflows and processes that determine its optimal level of performance. The use of systems simulation in oil refineries, process manufacturing, discrete and complex manufacturing including constraint-based modeling of customized equipment all provide valuable insights into how to continually improve process performance. The use of systems simulation is becoming commonplace
Not everyone thinks of a hospital as a business, but it must be operated as such if it is to take proper care of patients and make enough profit to continue to function. One of the best ways in which to be successful in those endeavors is to have good leadership. Proper leadership allows for an overall experience that is the best for everyone involved (van Vugt & Ahuja,
Organizations To gain an idea of the suitability of different organizational models for prospective informational technology organizations, it can be useful to review the currently existing models for all organizational hierarchies. Professor of Management from Yale University, Jeffrey Sonnefield has defined four distinct cultures or models for most business organizations. All of these models have parallels in the real world of existing informational technology firms to some degree, but all
