“…Mostly coercive and punitive behaviour in a client-therapist relationship yields negative results of the treatment leading to client aggression and reluctance. The practitioner possesses different dimensions of power bases while treating the involuntary client as per the study of Power typology (Gabel, 2011). Therefore, a social worker needs to identify and deploy useful power bases in order to get the desired outcomes from the client.…”

The study focused on exploring the challenges being faced by social service workers in dealing with involuntary clients. This study is qualitative in nature and in-depth semi-structured interviews were used as a tool for data collection. The data was collected from 21 social service workers residing in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Gharbia. Moreover, a purposive sampling technique was deployed and the Thematic Content Analysis technique was used to analyse the results. The qualitative interviews explored various challenges being faced by the involuntary clients. The most prominent ones are the client's anger, frustration, reluctance, lack of confidence, discipline, and motivation. All of these factors pose huge challenges for social workers because they lead involuntary clients to a situation of poor communication with social workers. This study has created a new body of knowledge that can be used in the Middle East and the Western parts of the world. From the academic perspective, this study is value addition in the literature of social service workers. From the practitioner perspective, this study provides an opportunity to work on such challenges while developing effective strategies to counter them.

“…In an environment where private institutions are predominant, ExDs are often stakeholders or simply owners of the healthcare facility, and the MeD is commonly recruited via a direct designation by the ExD 6. This scenario does not guarantee a qualified person for the MeD position, the MeD may stand for the ExD and he may become the most potent and influencing “actor” among the other administrative members 7. Conversely, this scenario may result in relative or total submission of the MeD to the ExD, moreover, the main concern of the MeD may be shifted from fulfilling his job description to satisfying the ExD given the frail procedure through which he or she has been recruited 8…”

The function of a medical director is presented along with features of efficiency and deficiencies from the perspective of healthcare system improvement. A MEDLINE/Pubmed research was performed using the terms “medical director” and “director”, and 50 relevant articles were selected. Institutional healthcare quality is closely related to the medical director efficiency and deficiency, and a critical discussion of his or her function is presented along with a focus on the institutional policies, protocols, and procedures. The relationship between the medical director and the executive director is essential in order to implement a successful healthcare program, particularly in private facilities. Issues related to professionalism, fairness, medical records, quality of care, patient satisfaction, medical teaching, and malpractice are discussed from the perspective of institutional development and improvement strategies. In summary, the medical director must be a servant to the institutional constitution and to his or her job description; when his or her function is fully implemented, he or she may represent a local health governor or master, ensuring supervision and improvement of the institutional healthcare system.
