Religious Health Care
The religious healthcare is an organization working in an areas where the population is 225, 000. Though it is a non-profit making organization, the major objective is to ensure that it provides high quality services t the people and community around it. In this regard therefore, my analyses will focus on providing areas that need to be improved to ensure that high quality services are offered to its target people. Whether, the health care organization makes profit or note, providing standardized services is of paramount importance.
To ensure high quality services as a consultant, this paper will provide areas of improvement in the health care functions, the key performance dimensions and the performance measures of the organization could use in order to evaluate the nursing staff. Also, the paper will focus on steps needed to be taken in order better management of specific group of patients. The strategies implemented by an organization are important in ensuring high quality services in the market. To ensure sustainability in the market, the paper will also provide the various strategies that he organization can implement and then finalize by providing two major technology based data collection that are implementable. The paper will then conclude comprehensively stressing each important issue mentioned.
After a deep analysis of the religious healthcare organization on the information provided in the table, it is worthwhile to shows that a lot need to be done on the organization. In this case, prioritization of the steps to be taken will play an essential role in not to ensure that important issues are resolved to before the other. Firstly, being in an area of 225,000 people, it means that their organization can be able to hold at least three quarters of the people as well as provide quality services to them. In fact, the surrounding population should be a clear indicate for their performance. Therefore, the major issue needs to be looked at it then ensure those already admitted in the hospital are receiving treatment efficiently and effectively.
It can be shown that the organization has 13,000 admissions whereas there are only 2000 employees. This implies there is a high shortage of employees in the organization. This is also an implication that those employees available are either, highly exploited or do not offer the required sufficient services to the clients effectively or both. In fact, the minimum personnel that the organization needs to have should be 6000. The fact that they are admitting 13, 000 people imply that they are other serious patients who are retained. Having sufficient employees will mean standardized services for the patients (Braiotta, 2004).
Hiring employees is easier; the organization can declare job vacancies in areas of importance through public magazines, new papers, to the media such as TVs, radios and tom weekly journals. They can also print posters and billboards to ensure that more people get the information. The application provided by relevant people will then enable them to set the recruitment date. Employing more staff will be essential in ensuring that the patients awaiting for services in the organization are first served effectively.
Faster and efficient services are other areas that the organization needs should focus on importantly. Effective speed, dedication and efficient services will mean that there will be reduced number of patients in the hospital. After having more employees, it will be easier for the organization to come up with strict supervisory body that will ensure that each department is dedicated to offering services at a reasonable rate. Thirdly, the number of beds in the hospital is extremely low. As shown, there are only 575 beds when there are 13,000 admissions. To be fairly profound, this number is not proportional to the number of beds. This is an area that the organization will need to focus urgently. This also tells us that some patients are either on the floors or discharged before time. To avoid these situations, the organization will then need to ensure that that there is an increase in the number of beds (Schwartz, 1998).
Fourthly, the organization should employ economists and auditors to ensure that the expenses that the organization ventures into are worth and viable. They will also ensure that there is a reduced expense, yet again spending on essential matters. Expanding the organization is also an area where the organization needs to focus. Last but not least, the religious health care organization though it is a non-profit making; the financial autonomy of the organization is of great importance. Therefore, I needs to device other ways of raising money. These would include such methods as starting other investments such as hotels where they can raise funds to run the organization (Mohanty, 2012).
As stated earlier, the fact that religious healthcare is a non-profit making organization, there is every reason of considering the fact that there are other similar institutions in the market. Therefore, completion is a factor that can be looked at deeply. The organization then needs to focus on the following three performance dimensions (Mair, & Wood, 1976).
Environmental condition
The managing directors can be able to measure their performance through the consideration of the environment within which they are working. If it is not favorable, then it is clear that something need to be done. If it is, it means that there is a smooth flow of work. They can then look for ways to maintain of improve further.
Sustainability efficient
Efficiency of sustainability is essential. Economists can be hired to measure this. They can be able to determine the future of a particular business. Therefore, in this case, the managers of religious healthcare can get into focusing what needs to be done to ensure continuity in the future. Otherwise, they may not be able to define the future of their business.
Cooperation and maintenance efficiency
An organization is said to be a good condition when there are all the facilities needed. Religious healthcare can be termed as efficient if all the machines and facilities needed for treatment and maintenance are available.
Further, the emergency room is a delicate area where if there is any delay, a patient can turn out to be more serious and consequently lose life. Therefore, it is an area where care needs to be taken cautiously. In this regard, to measure its efficiency, an organization should to take quick measurement and the required steps towards earlier remedying of situation. The following are the major areas.
Response from supervisors
This is the main and basic way of evaluation. The rationale for this strategy will be to ensure that all the rules in the emergence sector is complied with. Supervisors can be employed to evaluate the nurse performance in the sector. If there are those that do not perform, they can pass the information to the top general managers so that quick action can be taken.
Customer response
The customers can be used to deliver significant information an their experience at the emergency. They can state the nature of their treatment at the department. It will enable managers know if there is need for further action. The customers can also provide the areas that need improvement as well as suggesting the improvements that can be made.
Out put
While this is not one of the best, in many areas where the emergency department is not up to standard, patients become serious and sometimes lose their lives. If such cases are observed in the religious healthcare, then a quick action should be taken before the situation become serious.
Religious Health Care should devise a way in which it can be able to manage a specific patient group. To do it effectively, the following are the major steps that should be made.
Separating the wards
Separating wards in regard to patient groups such that those patients suffering from the same diseases are placed at the position is important. Such separation will be easier to manage the target patients at each department ward.
Dividing the hospital in departments
Dividing the organization into department can make it easier to know what to do at what time. Religious organization should venture into this to ensure that each department take a specific role on a particular target patient group (Gerrard, 2007).
Mark each department along with direction strategies
Direction to each department and ward is essential to avoid the waste of time seeking for access in the organization. This can be accomplished by making direction drawing such as arrow marks towards which to go.
While this can be essential, the organization should carry out its activity to ensure that it maintains a good corporate image. It then implies that a strategic movement is essential. The organization should focus at ensuring the following.
High quality services
The organization should ensure that it offers high quality services at all cost. Patients visiting the hospital should be treated efficiently and effective. Speed and accuracy should be paramount. Highly specialist staff will ensure that each patient receives the required treatment at the shortest time possible. This will draw the attention of the public. They will then prefer the organization in many areas (Herman, & McChesney, 1997).

Participation in local authorities
This is an area where an organization should put their focus in. While it is not mandatory, religious health care is a corporate body that is independent. It should therefore create a good relationship with the local community surrounding it by participating and supporting any community activity by any method. It is a way of making people aware that you care for their well-being. The activities can be sporting activities, local road constructions and bridge building. This will ultimately create a good image to people.
Providing employment to the local people
While the company should ensure high quality staff, it should consider much on the qualified people surrounding the organization. Further, in areas that require casual workers such as cleaning the environment, the organization can also consider the local people. Provision of employment to them will enable them understand and appreciate the importance of the organization in the area (Dwyer & Thomson, 1973).
Advertising
Advertising is strategic method of promoting a business through the use advertising channels such as media, newspapers among others. A good advertising channel will be important in ensuring that target customers are reached. Advertisements can also be used to inform customers of any changes that may have been made on their services (Fuller 2007).
To maintain the company’s image, there should be a way of managing and auditing internal part of the organization. With the improvement in technology, it is therefore essential to come up with a technology based data-collection strategy as provided below.
Use of the CCTV
This is one of the best strategies for auditing. CCTVs can focus and collect information on what is happening in each department at a particular time. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point, point to multipoint, or mesh wireless links.

Use of electronic card
Electronic cards for employees can play an essential role in identifying those visiting a particular place, access a particular information or data, and in which department. This will be essential during retrieval. By revealing the location employees have visited, it will allowed the supervisor see where their employees spend their time at. Also in case of any issues, the supervisor will be able to know who was where or who look at whose data with out any reason or permission.
