The importance of managerial skills for medical doctors

Ngxukumeshe, Tandiswa January 2008 (has links)
The role played by medical doctors and the employment positions they hold in South Africa and in the world today has shifted from being clinical only to include management. They were once only responsible for patient care, now are responsible for their organization's management. Physician managers have difficult tasks for which medical school provides no preparation. Doctors in an assortment of roles take on management responsibilities to varying degrees: these may be a single-handed private practitioner or lead a small clinical team; or a clinical or medical director or a chief executive; or hold senior management positions in National or Regional Legislature. Some are also managing and supervising colleagues in public or private hospitals and are responsible for managing budgets, allocation of resources; developing policies and making other management decisions. These roles require knowledge and competence of managerial skills in order to facilitate and lead in an effective and efficient manner. This study revealed that medical doctors, as business owners, in Mercantile Hospital are running their businesses, the medical private practices, without any managerial skills’ training. There was a general consensus that there is a need for managerial skills in any business and the respondents confirmed that managerial skills are important and necessary for the successful achievement of goals in a medical private practice.

The role of a medical coordinator in extended and long term care facilities in British Columbia : a Delphi study

Peck, Shaun Howard Saville January 1980 (has links)
A role description for a medical coordinator in extended and long term care facilities in British Columbia has been defined using a Delphi method. Also obtained during the study was a long term care philosophy. Three groups - nurses, administrators, and physicians took part in three rounds of the Delphi study. Thirty-five respondents were interviewed in the first round. During this interview the researcher obtained from the respondents the statements that they considered should be included in this role and philosophy description. During the second round the respondents rated the responses of the first round and in the third round those of the second round were revised after seeing the mean scores of the whole group and the three separate groups. The description of the role of a medical coordinator developed describes the role as it applies to: resident care; private physicians; planning, development and evalution of care; staffing of a facility; education; administration; and the training, experience, skills and attitude of a medical coordinator. When the description created was compared with that for the medical director in a long term care facility in the United States it was found that this study had described additional dimensions of the role, in particular the multi-disciplinary approach and the physician's knowledge, training, experience, skills and attitude. The results of the study show where there was agreement and where there were differences of opinion between the three professional groups. A long term care philosophy which was considered very important for a medical coordinator to promote, has been defined during the study. It focuses on the resident reaching his full potential, the creation of a special environment, as well as acceptance of disability, dying and death. Recommendations from the study are made for facilities which might be considering employing a medical coordinator, for planners deciding whether to provide funds for medical coordinators, for geriatric medical education and for the acceptance of a long term care philosophy in all parts of the health care system where there are long term care clients. / Medicine, Faculty of / Population and Public Health (SPPH), School of / Graduate

Interfaces entre produção de saúde e coordenação do cuidado: perspectiva da psicodinâmica do trabalho na compreensão do trabalhar de médicos inseridos em um hospital universitário - São Paulo, Brasil / Interfaces between health production and coordination of care: perspective of psychodynamics of work in the understanding about the work of doctors inserted at a university hospital - São Paulo, Brazil

Barros, Juliana de Oliveira 17 February 2016 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: Com base no referencial teórico da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, compreende-se que a construção da subjetividade e, consequentemente, da identidade e da saúde mental dos sujeitos adultos têm no trabalho lugar central. OBJETIVO: Evidenciar componentes da organização do trabalho que possam favorecer a produção da saúde, a construção e o fortalecimento da identidade de sujeitos singulares e coletivos profissionais, a partir da compreensão de uma situação especifica de trabalho. METODOLOGIA: Trata-se de estudo de caso de caráter exploratório. Foi desenvolvido com um grupo de médicos inseridos no Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo, cujo trabalhar é atravessado pela coordenação de equipes e/ ou ações de cuidado. Realizou-se 14 entrevistas semi-estruturadas entre os meses de setembro de 2013 e abril de 2014, organizadas em duas fases. Da primeira, participaram sete médicos que ocupavam cargos de gestão. Puderam auxiliar na compreensão do organograma geral da instituição, do fluxo e da organização do trabalho médico. Da segunda fase, participaram sete médicos que, além de assistentes, atuavam como chefes de plantão. Pela importância das ações desenvolvidas por estes profissionais na dinâmica hospitalar e pela disponibilidade em participar do estudo, constituíram-se como a população alvo do mesmo. Adotou-se a postura fenomenológico hermenêutica para interpretação dos achados. Caracterizou-se o trabalhar e a identidade profissional desses sujeitos a partir de quatro eixos: conteúdo do trabalho; recursos disponíveis para realização das atividades previstas; trajetória para chegada nessa função e; experiências de sofrimento e prazer no trabalho. RESULTADOS: Semanalmente, por 12 horas consecutivas, os médicos chefes de plantão respondem por questões administrativas, representando a diretoria do hospital frente aos trabalhadores e usuários do serviço. Baseados em aspectos técnicos, nas regras institucionais e do trabalho tomam, simultaneamente, decisões clínicas no que se refere à possibilidade de acolhimento do conjunto de sujeitos que procura o hospital. Objetivam, ao máximo, manter a regularidade e a continuidade do funcionamento institucional e melhorar a resolutividade do atendimento prestado. Todos os recursos materiais e humanos da instituição são aliados quando das tomadas de decisão, mesmo se feitas de forma individual. Foram convidados pela diretoria do hospital a desempenharem essa função, a partir da identificação de certas características pessoais e profissionais. Dentre todas as atividades desenvolvidas, ocupar-se da gestão regulatória dos leitos hospitalares frequentemente os coloca diante de situações de impotência. DISCUSSÃO: Os chefes de plantão são profissionais que transitam entre o fazer clínico e a coordenação de situações e pessoas. Evidencia-se a importância do julgamento de utilidade técnica e social emitido, sobretudo, por aqueles que compõem a base da linha hierárquica organizacional, ao terem sua autoridade fundada nas competências profissionais e na qualidade das arbitragens que realizam. O reconhecimento, enquanto retribuição de natureza simbólica, parece impulsionar a construção de soluções criativas face às dificuldades encontradas no trabalho. Ressalta ainda o lugar do outro no movimento de conquista da própria identidade. Encontram-se diante de um cenário no qual, além de serem beneficiários, fomentam processos de cooperação a partir do modo como fazem a gestão. Os anos de trabalho compartilhado entre as mesmas equipes e a ética do cuidado em saúde, parecem sustentar esta dinâmica. CONCLUSÕES: Compreende-se que a cooperação e o reconhecimento são aspectos importantes quando se trata da produção da saúde mental e da prevenção de situações de adoecimento no trabalho. São ainda decisivos para a conquista da emancipação pela via do trabalho. Entender as condições que tornam possível a existência deles no seio das instituições é fundamental para aqueles que desejam aliar a produção de bens ou serviços à produção da saúde dos trabalhadores / INTRODUCTION: Based on the theoretical framework of work psychodynamics, it is understood that the construction of subjectivity and, hence, the identity and mental health of adult subjects have in the work its central point. PURPOSE: To highlight components of work organization which may support the health production, the building and strengthening of the identity of specific individuals and collective professionals based on an understanding of a specific work situation. METHODS: It is an exploratory case study. It was conducted with a group of doctors inserted in the University Hospital of University of São Paulo and whose work is crossed by coordination of teams and/or care actions. Fourteen semi-structured interviews taken between September 2013 and April 2014, which were organized into two phases. In the first one, seven manager doctors participated. They helped in the understanding of the general chart organizational of the institution, the flow and organization of medical work. In the second phase participated seven professionals who were doctors assistants and also duty chefs. Due to the importance of the actions developed by these professionals in the hospital and their availability to participate in the study, they were constituted as the target population of it. It was adopted the phenomenological-hermeneutic approach to the interpretation of the findings. The work and the professional identity of these subjects were characterized according to four areas: content of the work; resources available to carry out the planned activities; trajectory for arrival in this role and; experiences of suffering and pleasure at work. RESULTS: Weekly, for 12 consecutive hours, the doctors on duty chiefs are responsible for administrative matters and representing the board of the hospital face workers and service users. Based on the technical aspects, institutional and work rules, they make clinical decisions regarding the possibility of receiving and hosting subjects who seeks the hospital. They aim, as much as possible, to maintain the regularity and continuity of organizational efficiency and improve the resoluteness of care given. All the material and human resources of the institution are allied when the decisions have to be made, even if it is individually. They were invited by the hospital board to play this role, based in the identification of certain personal and professional characteristics. Among all the activities, to be in charge of the regulatory management of hospital beds often sets them against situations of powerlessness. DISCUSSION: The duty chefs are professionals who move between clinical work and coordination of situations and people. It highlights the importance of the judgment of technical and social utility, mainly by those who compose the organizational basis of organizational hierarchy, by having their authority founded on professional skills and quality of referrals that they do. The recognition as retribution in symbolic way, appears to boost the construction of creative solutions to face the difficulties encountered at work. We also emphasize the place of the other in the movement of achieve their own identity. They are in a scenario in which, besides being beneficiaries, also foster cooperation processes from the way they do the management. The years of work shared between the same teams and the ethics of health care, appear to sustain this dynamic. CONCLUSIONS: It is understood that cooperation and recognition are important aspects when it comes to mental health production and preventing disease situations at work. They are still decisive for the achievement of emancipation through work. Understanding the conditions that make possible their existence within the institutions is essential for those who wish to combine the production of goods or services to the production of health workers
