Organizational charts in healthcare organizations
Part 1
Research organizational charts used in healthcare organizations.
Now, assume the managing physician asked you to make a new organization chart containing all of the current staff that includes the managing physician, practice administrator, medical secretary, an office manager who oversees 2 coder/billers, a medical scribe, a medical receptionist, and a medical records clerk. The current practice also includes an ARNP clinical supervisor who oversees a PA, RN, 2 clinical medical assistants, and a radiology technician. The new org chart should include a full-service laboratory with a lab technologist and three lab technicians plus an imaging center for which they’ll hire a radiologist (a radiologist is a physician) and 3 more (you already have one) radiology technicians.
Create a new org chart that is a logical and effective way to organize the full staff (existing and new). Consider that although the managing physician is responsible for any clinical aspects of all of the physicians, it is common for physicians to report to a practice administrator for all non-clinical aspects of their job (payroll, benefits, scheduling, issues between two employees, attendance, etc). Use your own judgment.
Part 2
Review Chapter 5 and do an Internet Search on short-term planning and long-term (strategic) planning. Specifically, look for planning for a health care facility.
Based on your readings and your internet search, list and describe 3 resources, processes, tools, or strategies for long-term (strategic) planning and 3 different resources, processes, tools, or strategies for short-term medical office planning.
