Organizational Structures and Functions

1. Based on the data gathered, the general picture you have obtained, and the results of the survey (as returned to you by your instructor), you will now focus on the organizational structure and functions for the proposed GAH and Community Clinic.

2. In order to do so, you will need to define/address the following points:

a. Define the mission statement for the GAH and Community Clinic.

b. Prepare a simple organizational diagram, depicting the organizational structure (blocks) of the existing Mission Hospital (MVH), Children’s Hospital (CHOC), and the proposed Golden Age Hospital (GAH), and the community clinic (CC)

i. Note what common services or functions they can share (e.g., blood bank and laboratory services, shared operating rooms, pharmacy, etc.)

ii. Explain the organizational relationships between the structure blocks.

c. What is the recommended hospital size (number of beds)?

d. What major services/treatments will be offered based on your survey results at the GAH and the CC? At least six detailed services/treatments are required.

e. Physician–Hospital integration:

i. How (if appropriate) will you integrate the services of physicians whose specialty is in geriatric treatment within the GAH /CC?

ii. Address the management aspects, not the clinical ones.
