This complexity creates challenges for stakeholders who wish to use financial accounting statements to make inferences about the productive choices made by a hospital's management. These challenges are especially salient when using data reported at the department (or cost center) level, or where the provision of care is coordinated across hospital departments. This study applies information entropy-based comparability analysis techniques to overall and department-level hospital financial data to identify hospital peer groups. Hospitals peer groups not only exhibit similar financial positions overall, but are also likely to exhibit operational similarities at the department level. Data for this analysis are drawn from the financial statements of Washington State critical access hospitals in the fiscal year 2019. The medical laboratory and pharmacy departments were specifically assessed because their services impact or support virtually every other revenue-producing department in the hospital. Findings suggest both departments significantly impact the formation of peer groups, with the pharmacy department contributing the largest impact.</p>","PeriodicalId":55886,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Topics","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142134590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This unprecedented situation forced them to adopt to a new norm amidst uncertainty, potentially impacting their mental well-being and overall health. The study aims to investigate the coping strategies for physicians to maintain their psychological well-being during uncertain events such as COVID-19. By employing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the research prioritizes coping strategies that can improve physicians' psychological well-being. This study affirms that the physicians working in healthcare during pandemic preferred adaptive strategies over maladaptive strategies. Maintained exercise, yoga/meditation (or similar), and behavioral disengagement are the three most preferred coping strategies.

SE increases employees' self-esteem, which can encourage a dissatisfied employee to look for other better work options, thus influencing their continuance commitment (CC). Workplace bullying is associated with higher turnover intentions and reduced commitment. This study investigates the mediating effects of person-related bullying (PB) and work-related bullying (WB) on the relationship between SE and CC. The study findings highlight the partial mediation effect of PB and serial mediation of WB and PB on the relationship between SE and CC. This study establishes that in comparison to WB, PB causes more damage to employee relationships with the organization. Moreover, the serial mediation effect of WB and PB is also noticed on the relationship between SE and CC. Organizations should regularly measure their employees' CC, as SE negatively affects CC. Organizations should take adequate measures to curb PB to preserve employee morale and confidence.

The relevant articles were extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed to identify and explore the most active authors, author-wise contribution to the sources, sub-research topics, core sources, top authors' production over time, global cited documents, thematic maps, word cloud, country-wise collaboration network and map, author keywords-based network, historiograph, and spectroscope.

Limited authors have contributed to this theme, and the continuity of publication needs to be improved. The study highlights that there needs to be a robust framework to assess, evaluate, and implement health advocacy. The researchers are limited to only a few authors who have published in limited journals. The current study brings out the need for research and publications on health advocacy to develop a framework for assessing and implementing health advocacy.
