Organizational Structure in Health Care

A healthcare facility in any country in the world has a group of administrators who have

total control over overseeing the employees, other healthcare staff, and the other non-health staff

in the healthcare organization. Health care organizations have a pyramid form in the hierarchy,

which defines how the organization functions. Any managerial level has the functions that each

staff member undertakes to have each of the organization's objectives met. The organizational

structures define the employees' relationships in the health organization. Each functional unit in

the health care organization has interactions that identify the level functions that each of the

members in the organizational structure has to meet and ensures the chain of command

throughout the organization (Borkowski, 2015). The organization X of health care has an

organizational structure as follows:

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The principles that the organization structure functions focus on the function of the

organization, such as the transmission of the information, the coordination of efforts of each of

the staff in the organization, sharing of the relevant feelings and emotions that are necessary for

the functioning of the organization in meeting the organizational goals. The transmission of

information within the organizations is vital in ensuring the goals of ensuring quality health care

are delivered to the patients. In order to ensure effective communication between the top

management level in the organization, which is the managing director, the chief managing

director of the institution has to focus on the safety of the patients and minimize the threats that

the patients in the facilities endure. The managers have to build trust between the staff to ensure

that the staff work to ensure the quality of the health care service provided. The staff has to listen

and understand the motives and emotions of the employees, ask good questions, and create and

maintain congruence in non-verbal and verbal communications in understanding patients’ needs,

thus guaranteeing the quality services offered to the patients.

The organizational structures in any hospital facility entail the board of directors, the

executive management such as the chief executive officers, the hospital department

administrations, patient care services managers, and patient service managers, which ensures the

quality of service provided to the patients. The organization's combinations of hierarchical forms

utilize the structural input each clinical staff member carries out in ensuring each patient is

accorded the best health service required (Berberoglu, 2018). The understanding of a complete

health care organizational structure ensures each employee works in ensuring that the

responsibilities assigned are met and are carried out according to the field of discipline a

particular health care staff s trained to work.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The primary health leadership theories that the health care facility organization employs

in ensuring the organization's objectives are met include the management theory, which ensures

the productivity of the health care workers and emphasizes organization effectiveness. The

managers in the healthcare facility utilize the authority to enforce the rules and regulations that

govern the conduct of healthcare professionals to ensure they perform to their best. The reward

mechanisms in the organization motivate workers to meet the set objectives. The managers who

practice the theory ensure that the staff of the organization is rewarded based on the

achievements they achieve in the organization. The other theory utilized in the organization is

the transformational theory, which has the leaders at the top managerial levels going beyond the

inspiration role to inspire staff members to work in achieving the goals of the health care facility

(Berberoglu, 2018). Transformation theory has the members inspired by the managers to

specialize in a specific area, enabling them to perform better in the specified area. The leaders

can self-manage the staff, prioritize the interactions, and be proactive in work to meet the

objective in place. The members utilize such theories in the organizational structure of the

organization x above in meeting the laid objectives.

The challenges experienced by organization X above include the transparency of the

administrative staff and the costs of ensuring the workability of the objectives. The consumer

experiences and the delivery of transformational theories are necessary for ensuring the delivery

of the quality health care offered in health care facilities. Such issues in the healthcare structure

minimize the utilization of the structure above in the healthcare facility. The costs in ensuring the

effectiveness of the structure utilized in the organization cause the facility to comprise means of

overcoming such challenges, thus helping the facility make decisions that provide consistency in

ensuring quality health care to patients.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
In conclusion, the organizational charts in organizations are necessary for ensuring the

roles assigned to each staff member. It reflects the future ideals required to ensure that each of

the roles and the organization's goals are met. The structure gives employees in the organization

clarity to have their expectations and ensure decision making, which is necessary for maintaining

consistency of the achievable goals of the organization. The organization chart of organization x

ensures the workflow organization and the completion of tasks assigned by the top managers.

The organizational heart prompts a better combination and operational efficiency.
