A Study to Identify Functions Which Inhibit or Facilitate the Health Care Delivery Process on Ward 51 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C.
Abstract
In recent years, national concern for the increasing costs of providing health care has forced hospital administrators to focus on methods which will improve efficiency of operations, decrease resource consumption, and reduce operation costs. This study identifies functions which inhibits or facilitate the health care delivery process on Ward 51 at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The interaction among the ward's physicians, nurses, administrative staff, physical layout, patient census, organization, and leadership are but a few of the areas considered by the author. Keywords: Health care, Ward administration, Resource management, Military medicine, Medical services.
