Tomorrow’s public hospital in Greece: Managing health care in the post crisis era

<p>The management of the hospitals (defined<br />as the attempt for optimum performance<br />via appropriate cycles of planning, deciding,<br />evaluating, and reviewing), transcends all<br />the functional parameters of the production<br />and provision of health services. Tomorrow’s<br />public hospital in Greece demands a<br />new managerial approach. This approach<br />would sufficiently answer to the main four<br />problematic conundrum of today: the perverse<br />unaccountability of medical subjectivity, the<br />obsolete management model, the lack of<br />human resources management tools and the<br />unhealthy financing of hospitals. Tomorrow’s<br />hospital would respect the autonomy of the<br />medical profession while at the same time<br />would demand scientific accountability,<br />would utilize modern organizational tools<br />to manage its human resources in order to<br />produce effectively and efficiently quality<br />services and finally would measure its<br />performance on a case by case basis.</p>
