Management Concepts in Hospitals Assess Case Study

This allows for proper safety since Via Christi is located in Wichita, Kansas, which is the biggest city in the state (Via Christi, 2011).

In regards to the internal environment, all employees and patients are treated with dignity and respect. The facilities' each have in place safety measures for fires and tornadoes. Each person is asked how they can get assistance, and clinical staff tells the patients what it is they are going to do before they do it, so that no harm or offense is done to anyone without their consent. Infection Control is taught and enforced, such as frequent hand washing or using hand sanitizers for anyone who enters or leaves the hospital (Via Christi, 2011).

Explain how management contributes to its effective or non-effective performance

Via Christi management contributes to the effective performance of the hospital. They maintain and stress that everyone is treated with "human dignity, stewardship and excellence" (Via Christi Health, 2011). These are their core values. Each person who works for the company hears them a lot at monthly or weekly meetings as well as in additional training or evaluation time. Throughout all of this, each individual strives to transform the way healthcare is delivered "because your life matters" (Via Christi Health, 2011).Management seeks to build new facilities in order to keep up with the demand by keeping up with what patients and the public is asking for on a regular basis. Since they work hard for the community, businesses support them as well in their efforts as well as the city when they want to expand.
