Document Summary
Week 4: note on strategic decision-making in health care organizations. There are multiple actors in almost all healthcare systems: Patients, hospital/ clinic, a physician, health plan or other insurer, an employer in the u. s or government agency elsewhere. In all submarkets the price is relatively simple (except for that between insurer and provider) Some care plans pay hospitals per patient while others bundle their fees. There is a distinction between improving the populations health status and implementing disease management strategies. Public health programs, lifestyle changes, and improved primary care interventions fewer patients need inpatient care. Patients admitted to a hospital consumer fewer resources. Use of improved diagnostic technology, development of clinical pathways, introduction of laparoscopic surgery. Swot is used for the strategy formulation process. Acknowledge that it can not consider real threats/ opportunities and is only a tool used to focus on perceived strengths, weaknesses, etc. Closing the gap between perceived and real environments.
