A Review of Emergency and Disaster Management in the Process of Healthcare Operation Management for Improving Hospital Surgical Intake Capacity

Abstract

To perform diagnosis and treatment, health systems, hospitals, and other patient care facilities require a wide range of supplies, from masks and gloves to catheters and implants. The “healthcare supply chain/healthcare operation management” refers to the stakeholders, systems, and processes required to move products from the manufacturer to the patient’s bedside. The ultimate goal of the healthcare supply chain is to ensure that the right products, in the right quantities, are available in the right places at the right time to support patient care. Hospitals and the concept of a healthcare delivery system are practically synonymous. Surgical services, emergency and disaster services, and inpatient care are the three main types of services they offer. Outpatient clinics and facilities are also available at some hospitals, where patients can receive specialty consultations and surgical services. There will always be a need for inpatient care, regardless of how care models develop. The focus of this monograph was on recent OM work that models the dynamic, interrelated effects of demand-supply matching in the ED, OR, and inpatient units. Decisions about staffing and scheduling in these areas are frequently made independently by healthcare managers and clinicians. Then, as demand changes in real-time, clinicians and managers retaliate as best as they can to reallocate staffing to the areas that require it most at a particular moment in time in order to relieve patient flow bottlenecks. We, as OM researchers, must create models that help healthcare administrators enhance OR scheduling policies, ED demand forecasting, and medium- and short-term staffing plans that consider the interdependence of how demand develops.

A Conceptual Study on Corruption in Public-Private Partnerships

“…The conclusion of this discussion is that corruption in public-private partnerships (PPPs) and infrastructure management can have serious consequences for public safety, economic development, and social well-being [31]. However, there are several strategies that can be effective in combating corruption in PPPs and infrastructure management, including promoting transparency and accountability, strengthening legal frameworks, building capacity, fostering a culture of integrity, implementing effective monitoring and oversight mechanisms, and involving civil society organizations and the public in decision-making processes [32].…”

A Research on Corruption in Entrepreneurial Intention

“…This may involve implementing policies and programs that promote transparency, accountability, and good governance, as well as promoting values and attitudes that prioritize honesty, integrity, and ethical behavior [30]. Research on perceived corruption and entrepreneurial intention is critical to understanding the complex relationship between corruption and entrepreneurship [31]. Such research can help policymakers and practitioners develop more effective strategies to combat corruption and promote entrepreneurship, ultimately contributing to economic growth and social development [32].…”

Two-stage dual-game model approach to view the difficulty of healthcare accessibility

“…Healthcare resources are always limited compared to demand, and how to most efficiently allocate limited healthcare resources is gaining increasing attention. The ultimate goal of the healthcare supply chain is to meet the demands of healthcare requirements, and it is usually practically synonymous between hospitals and the concept of a healthcare delivery system ( 13 ). A growing body of literature has studied the use of healthcare services and the factors associated with utilization.…”
