Budgeting is a mandatory yet misunderstood function in most organizations because of its current focus on estimating revenues and expenses. A budget should be a roadmap specifying in dollars and cents organizational goals and how management performance will be assessed. Like a roadmap, its value is entirely dependent on whether the plan is followed. Improving treatment and controlling costs require implementing budgets that focus managers' attention on the elements of production systems that they control and lead directly to better results...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Savithiri Ratnapalan, Daniel Lang
Health care organizations that deliver health care to a population are a major constituent of health care systems in many countries. Although some of the components of a health care organization may function as a simple or complicated system where interventions would yield the expected results, many parts of it function as complex systems within the organization. As such, is not always possible to predict changes or the effects of interventions on these systems due to their complex nature. Appreciation of the complex nature of health care systems and characteristics of these complex systems and their networks are necessary to manage health care organizations and changes in health care...

Over the past decade, physician social media use has been made popular and evolved from simple Facebook pages to rapid, instant media sharing. New social media applications, such as Snapchat and Instagram, are finding welcome homes in personal cell phones of physicians. The purpose of this article is to determine patients' views of not only physician use of these apps but also how they would react if their physician abused this technology. As outlined in the article below, physician abuse of social media is growing-and not strictly confined to one demographic group of physicians...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most significant public health problems currently facing the United States, especially in West Virginia. If it is undetected and left untreated, the likelihood of sustaining a treatment response decreases. While early identification has been identified as a critical focus in trying to obtain better health outcomes, new drug treatments appear promising, if somewhat expensive. West Virginia is a predominantly rural state, where the incidence of HCV is 9 times the national average and Medicaid costs for treatment amounted to more than $27 million from 2014 to 2016...

Health care data breaches are occurring at unprecedented rates, but breach causes are challenging to identify. The purpose of this exploratory study was to identify potential root causes associated with health care data breaches and to create a model of potential data breach factors to inform risk assessment and future predictive analysis. We considered organizational factors, business processes, and technological tools that may be associated with health care data breach occurrences. Using legal requirements, security industry frameworks, and health care standards, we developed a testable health care data breach model...

Corporate espionage is a multifaceted problem causing hundreds of billions of dollars in losses to businesses each year. Health care managers have a wide variety of options available to prevent theft of their organizations' trade secrets and other proprietary information. Organizations should protect their confidential and trade secret information by taking various security measures to limit access to protected material and by using appropriate types of restrictive covenants such as nondisclosure, noncompetition, and nonsolicitation agreements...

The 340B Drug Pricing Program, created by Congress in 1992 through the Veterans Health Care Act, has provided discounted drug prices to hospitals and other health care organizations serving a wide population of low-income patients. Some 340B programs use contract pharmacies, an arrangement whereby the hospital or health care organization signs a contract directly with a pharmacy to provide covered pharmacy services at discounted prices. The federal 340B Drug Pricing Program has provided access to reduced price prescription drugs to more than 35 000 individual health care facilities and sites certified by the US Department of Health and Human Services, and clinics have served more than 10 million people in all 50 states, plus commonwealths and US territories...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Tracey L Foster
Achieving career optimization is especially important for health care administrators working in United States (US) hospitals. Succession planning is a critical and essential process for nurturing future leaders. Succession planning occurs when there is an immediate change in leadership such as when a leader voluntarily or involuntarily vacates a position resulting in substantial loss of organizational knowledge and experience. This descriptive quantitative study fulfilled gaps in knowledge pertaining to the role of succession planning and perceived barriers to achieving career optimization among health care administrators working in US hospitals...

The cost of health care within the United States has continued to increase, whereas the quality of patient care has generally decreased in some areas. With the continued use of Medicare's former physician reimbursement algorithm, termed sustainable growth rate, national expenditures within the United States have been expected to increase 5.6% annually. To modernize the delivery and financing of care, Congress has introduced the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), which has permanently eliminated and replaced the sustainable growth rate...

The purpose of this study was to discuss the mental and physical effects of using music therapy with patients suffering with dementia. Like any type of therapy, there are guidelines for measuring the effects. Music therapy can be used as a substitute for pharmaceuticals with dementia patients. The earlier the diagnosis and the earlier treatment commences for dementia patients, the more likely the treatment will work. Music therapy can reach the part of the brain where we hold memories, which is why it is used as a treatment option for dementia patients...

West Virginia's opioid epidemic has been the cause of more than 42 000 deaths each year. Opioid abuse has become an issue among pregnant mothers and has increased the effects of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in infants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the participation of prenatal opioid maintenance to determine whether it has decreased the amount of treatment needed for NAS in infants in West Virginia. The methodology utilized a literature review complemented with a semistructured interview...

Work-life balance, burnout, and physician wellness have become an important focus over the last 20 years in the field of medicine. Significant work design and cultural changes are to blame for these newly recognized aspects of a physician's career and life as a whole. Unique aspects of the work environment in the United States not only contribute to these issues in the field of medicine, but also affect the US workforce at large. Stagnant responses from governmental bodies and private organizations have allowed the issue to worsen over time...

Project management (PM) is considered an important competency for improving organizational efficiencies, and its practice is evolving in health care organizations. As a medium-sized health care organization, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences used a hybrid PM office model and created a PM network to connect the small, centralized PM office to the decentralized project leaders. The key components to create the PM network were (1) skilled leader, (2) organizational support, (3) infrastructure, and (4) session content...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
David H Freed
Something important seems to have been lost that once made adversity in the health care workplace tolerable or even enjoyable. Many of the same tasks that used to be surrounded by fun no longer have that aura. This article explores eight structural factors that collectively explain why health care managers report having much less fun at work recently. It suggests redefining what having fun at work means in the first instance and proposes a new conception focused on pursuing worthwhile health care goals. Health care managers should abandon many former notions of fun, let fun evolve from the work itself, and trust staff members to determine what they consider to be fun at work...
