Alternatives to Address Role Clarification at the U.S. Army Community Hospital, Fort Polk
Abstract
During late 1980, an Organizational Effectiveness team visited the Army hospital at Ft. Polk. It found that a major institutional problem existed with regard to role clarification at all levels. The team noted that there was a lack of understanding as to who does what, the Commander was doing the staff's work, the weekly admin meeting was not working, physicians were difficult to deal with, laboratory and medical record services were poor, and MEDDAC civilians were not being treated as well as others employed on post. This study examines the above mentioned areas of concern and recommends an effective manner in which to deal with the existing role ambiguity and conflict.
