A Study of Night Administration at Brooke General Hospital, Fort Sam Houston, Texas
Abstract
The problem was to determine the best method of providing administrative services during other than normal duty hours to Brooke General Hospital, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Research methodology included a review of pertinent civilian and military professional publications; interviews with military and civilian personnel familiar with, and engaged in, providing administrative services to their hospitals during other than normal duty hours; a study of applicable Department of the Army regulations and publications; and an analysis of available statistical reports from Brooke General Hospital. The study concluded that the best method of providing administrative services to Brooke General Hospital during other than normal duty hours is a system using permanent night administrators. It was recommended that the hospital discontinue use of the administrative officer-of-the-day and institute a permanent night administrator system of providing administrative services to the hospital during other than normal duty hours.
