Some important healthcare management theories that will be focused on this paper include Attribution theory, Evidence-based management, and Utilization management. Attrition theory focuses on how individuals explain the cause of events and behavior. For instance, is an individual angry because someone wronged them, or they are bad-tempered? Evidence-based management refers to making decisions concerning people and management using available evidence and critical thinking. These decisions are important as they have significant impacts on the satisfaction of healthcare workers, the organization's performance, profits, and reputation. Evidence-based management helps people to avoid making the wrong decisions.
Utilization management refers to specific approaches used by purchasers of healthcare benefits to control costs associated with healthcare by influencing decision making inpatient care (Haddock, 2002). It involves using managed care approaches that allow payers to manage healthcare benefit costs by determining its appropriateness before it is provided. Roles included in utilization management include physician adviser, reviewers, and program manager. Policies of utilization management may consist of a balance of responsibilities, frequency of reviews, and priorities. The utilization management criteria are based on medical guidelines acquired from vendors, developed in-house, or created to align with certain conditions.
The principles are to maintain the team spirit, clearly define roles, and enhance performance. Subsequently, differentiated thoughts are created on the theories and principles. Improving measurement and analytics generate cross-functional workgroups and establish a data-driven strategy for the best system (Alexander, Kinhan & Savage, 2016). When cross-functional teams cooperate, they are likely to achieve common goals within a short period. They also feel more connected, which enhances trust. This helps in conflict resolution and improves problem-solving. These workgroups also make work interesting, promoting the individual productivity of team members.
Management Skills in Leadership
Various management skills make it possible for organizations to achieve their goals, including proper communication, awareness, integrity, relationship building, and innovation. Proper communication ensures that all team members clearly understand their roles in the organization. This ensures to prevents duplication of roles, significantly improving the performance of the organization. Awareness plays a significant role in the achievement of organizational goals. It allows teams to understand their goals and align them with the vision of the organization. It also helps team members understand what needs to be done and how it should be done to achieve the expected results (Barr & Dowding, 2019).
Integrity refers to the ability of the leaders to lead by example. An effective leader does the right thing, and this motivates employees to follow his/her steps. Relationship building is also a critical skill that is needed in leadership to achieve organizational goals. This ensures that team members can work together to achieve a common goal. This enhances creativity in the team as members are free to develop new ideas that could prove vital for achieving specific goals. Innovation also plays a critical role in helping organizations achieve their goals. It allows team members to come up with new ways of completing their task.
