...occupational therapy. Robbins is one of the oldest hospitals in Savannah and is currently being updated with state-of-the-art technology. Smith is more modern, with technology such as telemedicine, PET scans, and the use of the electronic medical records program. Robbins has constantly honored itself on the great quality of care provided to its patients. Smith on the other hand, is known for giving the kind of care to patients that is not always of good quality. Over the last decade a merger took place between Robbins Hospital and Smith Hospital, joining Robbins who has a high quality of patient care with Smith who has modern technology. The newly named hospital will be called Robbins/Smith Hospital. The administrator who has been an administrator at Robbins for more than a decade will have the task of creating an organizational culture that will not only meet the needs of staff, but also provide quality patient care. The administrator at Smith Hospital has a duty to direct the group of employees as one in a way that forms a positive and comfortable work environment. The purpose must focus on the mission and goals of the newly merged facility, with quality patient care being its main goal. Merger impacts the new organizational cultures so the manager has to come up with ways to build harmony in the organization. The manager looks at the problems in this paper while discussing the organizational design of Robbins/Smith Hospital. New Organizational Culture Mergers...

University of the Cordilleras 25 Engineer’s Hill, Baguio City 09063177093, 2600 ekjmartinez@yahoo.com ABSTRACT This document is a comparative study of different researches conducted regarding the implementation of a health information system in the Philippines.

...Today’s healthcare institutions and providers strive to be safe places for patients to receive care, but past data indicates it has not always been so. The Institute of Medicine determined in the late 1990’s that 44,000 to 98,000 patients die from medical mistakes each year (Wachter, 2008). This tremendous number of deaths places medical care mishaps between the fifth and eighth leading causes of deaths in the United States (Kizer, 2001). In 2002, The Joint Commission established National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) to help accredited organizations with patient safety in specific areas. An advisory group comprised of nurses, physicians, pharmacists, risk managers, clinical engineers, and others with appropriate experience advises The Joint Commission on how to address emerging patient safety issues. This group also periodically develops and updates the goals. The goals are grouped into broad categories and for 2011-2012, cover such categories as patient identification, health care-associated infections, improving communication, medication safety, reducing falls, and risk assessment. A discussion of selected elements underlying the current NPSG such as hand washing techniques, training, and lack of communication between healthcare personnel that can lead to medication errors, to falls, and even death, plus other related factors such as staffing shortages, problems with using outdated equipment, considerations in using the electronic medical records, and compliance with statutes...

...LEAN HOSPITALS “Mark Graban’s book has documented what is now happening in hospitals all across America as we learn to apply the Toyota Production System methodology to healthcare. This book lays out the nuts and bolts of the lean methodology and also describes the more difficult challenges, which have to do with managing change. Graban’s book is full of wins—these are the same type of wins that are happening at ThedaCare every day. I wish I could have read this book six years ago, as it might have prevented some of the mistakes we made in our lean transformation journey.” — John S. Toussaint, MD, President/CEO ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value “Coupled with a foundation of alignment and accountability, the ideas in this book provide a powerful tool to help hospitals get closer to the goal we want – perfect care.” — Quint Studer, CEO, The Studer Group, author of Results that Last “Mark Graban is the consummate translator of the vernacular of the Toyota Production System into the everyday parlance of healthcare. With each concept and its application, the reader is challenged to consider what is truly possible in the delivery of healthcare if standardized systems borrowed from reliable industries were implemented. Graban provides those trade secrets in an understandable and transparent fashion.” — Richard P.
