Respiratory care.

In summary, the field of respiratory care has witnessed a continuum of accelerating change in its first half century of existence as a health care profession. These changes were effected by internal change agents as well as external forces in the health care arena. Based upon a health care system undergoing a near cataclysmic pace of change in a time of multifocal and critical inspection, it is anticipated that the field will undergo an even more dramatic change in its scope and direction in the next 50 years. With the guidance and assistance of administrators, medical staff, and partner departments, the respiratory care department should continue to function as an integral part of the hospital organization.

Centralized administrative services management.

Virtually every hospital has imposed guidelines or controls on one or more administrative service expenses. However, the actual deployment of such strategies is often voluntary, decentralized, disjointed and episodic. An alternative approach is to cluster administrative elements across hospital departments and make them the responsibility of a dedicated manager. This approach treats administrative services as an organizing principle with uniform, predictable standards of service and cost. Customer requirements for products and services are met without the need for them to physically manage that process. Materiel managers can demonstrate a leadership role by applying their professionalism and know-how to a set of products and services traditionally ignored or dealt with in an uncoordinated manner. While some initial resistance can be expected as traditional barriers are disassembled, the results should be very rewarding for the hospital and materiel manager alike.
