To achieve this clinical integration, senior management confronts many challenges. This paper uses a cross-functional-process (CFP) framework to discuss these challenges. There are ten CFPs that fall into three categories: planning processes (strategy formulation, program adaptation, budget formulation), organizational processes (authority and influence, client management, conflict resolution, motivation, and cultural maintenance), and measurement and reporting processes (financial and programmatic). Each process typically spans several functional units. Senior management must consider how to improve both the functioning of each CFP, as well as its \"fit\" with the other nine. The result can be greater clinical integration, improved cost management, and more coordinated care for enrollees.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 2","pages":"255-79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21039182","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}

The level of investment is staggering; literally billions of dollars are being spent in the name of reengineering. Surprisingly little research has been reported, however, aimed at clarifying how this money is being spent (i.e., the content of reengineering) or identifying the management practices that facilitate or impede implementation. This paper summarizes extensive field research from fourteen hospitals across the country aimed at developing a clearer picture of reengineering. The research identifies seven components of hospital reengineering present in various configurations in the hospitals examined. Methods for facilitating reengineering are explored and eight major barriers recognized. Site specific examples are provided to illustrate how the facilitators and barriers work in practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 2","pages":"143-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21039318","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}

We use Monte Carlo stimulation to determine, in the absence of case mix variation, if random variation noise could obscure the signal of differences in underlying rates of quality of care problems. Classification of hospitals as \"outliers\" is done compared with \"true\" hospital quality, based on underlying rates for quality of care problems in mortality cases. Predictive error rates with respect to \"quality\" for both \"outlier\" and \"non-outlier\" hospitals are substantial under a variety of patient load and cutoff point choices for determining outlier status. Using overall death rates as an indicator of underlying quality of care problems may lead to substantial predictive error rates, even when adjustment for case mix is excellent. Outlier status should only be used as a screening tool and not as the information provided to the public to make informed choices about hospitals.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 1","pages":"3-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21037453","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}

Such systems consist of formal and informal transactions between patients, providers, payors, and policymakers, among others (Shortell 1972; Stiles and Mick 1997). One method for evaluating the suitability of control-oriented transactions to tasks is to compare the costs of controlling the quality of the good or service produced to the cost of its material and labor inputs. Activity-based cost (ABC) accounting provides the methodology for explicating the causal relationship between healthcare organizations' control-oriented transactions, the services whose quality they ensure, and the costs of both control activities and services delivered. Understanding these relationships is of vital importance to those charged with evaluating the feasibility of proposed managed care contracts, new product lines, and existing service configurations. In this article, we explain why traditional accounting practices are poorly suited to accomplishing the control function in today's healthcare arena, highlight activity-based costing's potential to redress the shortcomings of conventional practice, and elaborate the strategic importance of adopting the new methodology.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 2","pages":"193-204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21039321","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}

It has developed a new strategy and structure. But if it is to achieve the rapid, sustainable transformation needed to succeed in today's environment, it must also change its culture. The rigid, functionally focused, command-and-control culture that has long been a hallmark of VA must be replaced by one that values speed, flexibility, and the processes for delivering high-quality, cost-effective patient care. Such a change will not come easily. In addition to the normal hurdles, several barriers are unique to VA. They include ingrained bureaucratic traditions and behaviors, constraints imposed by the federal government, close scrutiny by powerful service organizations, and a Civil Service employee base that makes the hiring, promoting, and removing of employees a slow, unwieldy, and procedurally complex exercise. In a climate that does not encourage change, successful transformation must be well orchestrated.
