It is also the nation's largest provider of services to homeless persons, an essential provider in the public healthcare safety net, and an increasingly important element in the federal response to disasters and national emergencies. Patterned after what was considered the best in American healthcare, for most of the past 50 years the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare has focused primarily on acute inpatient care, high technology, and medical specialization. Now, in response to societal and industrywide forces, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is reengineering the veterans healthcare system, changing the operational and management structure from individual hospitals to 22 integrated service networks and transitioning the system to one that is grounded in ambulatory and primary care. This article briefly describes the history and functions of the veterans healthcare system, its service population, and key aspects of its restructuring.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 3","pages":"283-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21041516","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 article focuses on the interventions at two participating healthcare organizations and examines the outcomes of these efforts. Changes made at the Alpha Health Care system included: reduction in the number of boards, term limits established for board members, election of new board chairs for two of the fewer boards, reduction in the size of those boards, implementation of a consent agenda, and reorganization of the boards' committee structure. Fewer changes were implemented at the Beta Hospital, where several initiatives were started but only some of which were retained by the projects' conclusion. Key factors limiting the extent of changes there were the modest interest in an active board by a new CEO and the limited investment of trustees in change. The article concludes with a discussion of lessons learned about board assessment, the use of retreats to initiate board development, and the importance of time management and CEO support to strengthen board effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 1","pages":"87-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21037457","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}

Organization design of integrated delivery systems. 集成交付系统的组织设计。

{"title":"Organization design of integrated delivery systems.","authors":"M P Charns","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Healthcare integrated delivery systems (IDSs) evolve through four observed stages of development, with each successive stage having greater levels of interdependence among facilities and between facilities and physicians. The cottage industry stage is characterized by competition among hospitals and little interdependence. Healthcare organizations in the next stage, horizontally integrated systems, have pooled interdependencies, and in the third stage, vertically integrated systems, have predominately sequential interdependence with reciprocal interdependence between physicians and hospitals. In the fourth stage, community healthcare, community systems have reciprocal interdependence among their facilities and other organizations providing services along the continuum of care. This reciprocal interdependence is characteristic of the level of integration that must be addressed for system effectiveness. Greater levels of interdependence require stronger organizational integrating mechanisms and processes. \"Integrative management\" or \"service-line management\" is one vehicle for providing this integration. Although few empirical studies are available, this article relates the available empirical and conceptual literature to analyze the interdependencies at each level of IDS development, as well as the organizational design characteristics to address those interdependencies. It then examines the organization of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in terms of the four stages of IDS evolution, and suggests organization designs to address VHA's increased needs for integration.</p>","PeriodicalId":77163,"journal":{"name":"Hospital & health services administration","volume":"42 3","pages":"411-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21041416","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}

Eleven years ago, a large investor-owned hospital company presented the institution's board of trustees with a purchase offer. As an alternative, two church-related institutions in Nashville--Baptist Hospital and Saint Thomas Hospital, which is part of the Daughters of Charity National Health System--presented the board of trustees with a plan whereby a new not-for-profit holding company sponsored jointly by Baptist Hospital and Saint Thomas Hospital would become the corporate member of Middle Tennessee Medical Center. Funds contributed by Baptist and Saint Thomas Hospitals would be infused into the Christy-Houston Foundation, a not-for-profit entity devoted to identifying and serving community needs in Murfreesboro and the surrounding area. Their proposal was accepted, and the two church-related institutions became partners in jointly sponsoring and governing an important not-for-profit healthcare institution in central Tennessee. In 1996, The Lewin Group, a healthcare consulting firm based in Fairfax, Virginia, was commissioned by Baptist Hospital, Saint Thomas Hospital, and Daughters of Charity National Health System to conduct a retrospective assessment of the progress of this jointly sponsored ministry in relation to the original vision and goals.

General education levels do not seem to affect administrative preparation in key domains of practice--specific academic fields of study are more relevant. Hence, sole emphasis on higher educational requirements for licensure appears to be a misdirected strategy for improving quality of care and enhancing management efficiencies in nursing homes. Educational paradigms studied have strengths and weakness in furnishing various job skills. These results are helpful in defining strategic actions for addressing both current deficiencies and future training needs. A specialized long-term care model that incorporates appropriate clinical and business skills is recommended.
