Management and Planning Flashcards
What are the four groups of management skills
- Organizational Skills
- People Skills
- Financial Management Skills
- Technical Skills
Four groups of management skills:
Organizational Skills
Ability to conceptualize and apply the
management process, systematize work
flow and communicate with co-workers.
Four groups of management skills:
People Skills
▪ Understanding theories of human needs. ▪ Motivation skills.
Four groups of management skills:
Financial Management Skills
Effective use and accounting for the
monetary assets of the laboratory
Four groups of management skills:
Technical Skills
Synthesis of the first 3 skills and the
management of physical resources into
operational parameter.
What are the indicators of Poor Planning:
- Late submission of results/reports.
- Idle machines.
- Some machines doing jobs that should be done by
smaller machines. - Some laboratory personnel overworked, others are
underworked. - Skilled workers doing unskilled work.
- Laboratory/personnel fumbling on jobs for which
they have not been trained.
What are the benefits of Good Planning
- Jobs turn out on time.
- Good relationship with other departments.
- People using their highest skills.
- Workers know how their jobs fit into the total pattern.
- Machines doing their proper jobs.
- Equipment in good shape.
- Materials available.
- Waste kept to a minimum.
What are the 8 Hierarchy of Plans
- Purpose or Mission
- Objectives
- Strategies
- Policies
- Procedures
- Rules
- Programs
- Budget
States the purpose of the organization and its main
reason of existence.
Hierarchy of Plans:
What is Purpose or Mission
Objectives or goals are the end toward which planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling are aimed.
Hierarchy of Plans:
Objectives
A general progress of action implying commitment of emphasis and resources to attain broad objectives .
Hierarchy of Plans:
Strategies
General statements or understandings which guide or channel thinking and action in decision making .
Hierarchy of Plans:
Policies
plans that establish a required method of handling future activities.
Hierarchy of Plans:
Procedures
required actions chosen from among alternatives. It requires that a specific and definite action be taken or not with respect to a situation.
Hierarchy of Plans:
Rules
complex of goals, policies, procedures, task
assignment, and steps to be taken, to carry out a given course of action.
Hierarchy of Plans:
Programs
is the statement of expected results expressed in numerical terms.
Hierarchy of Plans:
Budget
Spatial Considerations in Lab Design 1-3
- The Blood Bank and the critical care lab procedures
should be accessible to ER, OR and ICU. - Specimen collection Area (Phlebotomy Area) should
be in proximity of Ambulatory care facility and
admitting office. - In lab with in patient population, laboratory should
be accessible to corridors and elevators providing
access to main patients.
Spatial Considerations in Lab Design 4-7
- The specimen receiving, data processing and
reporting center serve as the hub of the laboratory. - The critical care laboratories and large volume laboratories might be closely related to the central areas.
- Laboratories with greater turn-around-time (TAT) and/or less volume, and those requiring special safety features might be removed from the central area.
- The intra laboratory traffic flow must be separated from the outside
8 Laboratory Service Models
- Traditional “Closed” laboratory
- “Open” laboratory
- Core laboratory
- Regional laboratory
- Reference laboratory
- Point-of-care
- Stat laboratory
- Limited service
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Traditional “closed Laboratory
Each section is discrete and separated into rooms.
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Open” laboratory
Open” laboratory – The discrete services are
placed in one large room.
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Core laboratory
Core laboratory - A common type of
consolidation has been hematology and chemistry laboratories (“chematology”)
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Regional laboratory
Regional laboratory – Specific low-volume or
expensive laboratory services consolidated into
one hospital laboratory .
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Reference laboratory
Reference laboratory - Traditional full service
laboratory that handles all types of testing,
especially esoteric tests.
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Point-of-care
Point-of-care - Laboratory testing that is
brought to the patient’s bedside
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Stat laboratory
Stat laboratory - response laboratory that is
often located in or near an emergency department or surgical suite.
8 Laboratory Service Models:
Limited service
Limited service - Laboratory provides limited
menu of routine and/or specialty services on a stat or non-stat basis.
