ACKER_MHA599_SLP2_2.pptxTitle: Organizational Structure and Functions
Common services or functions they can share
Blood banks; same blood banks can be used, in GAH, and in community clinic.
The pharmacy can also be one area that will be shared because they will need to bring the medicines that will be required (DeCoske, Tryon & White, 2011).
Operating rooms can also be shared between both sectors, and these will save money and resources.
Explain the organizational relationships between the structure blocks
Horizontal linkages; in these linkages, every person in the organization has an equal relationship (Talbot & Verrinder, 2010).
They are most needed when there is a need for coordination that is close in all the organization segments.
Vertical linkages; these linkages tie subordinates and supervisors together.
The supervisor is in charge of evaluating and providing guidance towards any improvement necessary.
How (if appropriate) will you integrate the services of physicians whose specialty is in geriatric treatment within the GAH /CC?
Geriatrics is a specialty that has its focus on older adults' health care with aim of promoting their health (Talbot & Verrinder, 2010).
There is no specific age for a patient to be under the care of a geriatric physician.
The first thing will be published on the hospital website about geriatrics. The second thing will be researching the best geriatrics in California.
Define the mission statement for the GAH and Community Clinic
The mission statement for Golden Age Hospital and the Community Clinic is a specialized facility for geriatric and education offers (Andrews, Jelley & Jelley, 2013).
It will also be focused on compassionate delivery of care that is client-cantered to the elderly population and the caregivers.
It is also aimed at expanding services according to the seniors at their residential places.
Prepare a simple organizational diagram, depicting the organizational structure (blocks) of the existing Mission Hospital (MVH), Children’s Hospital (CHOC), and the proposed Golden Age Hospital (GAH), and the community clinic (CC) (Harris, 2015).

What is the recommended hospital size (number of beds)?
Taking into consideration the Orange County and its branches, the elderly population takes about 40 percent of the overall population (Epting, 2011).
This means that out of the people of 122, they represent 48.8.
This data depicts that, on average, Golden Age Hospital is recommended to have fifty beds.
What significant services/treatments will be offered based on your survey results at the GAH and the CC?
Hypertension: This is a condition that is long-term where the pressure of the blood is elevated in the arteries (Beevers, Lip & Brien, 2010).
Asthma: This is a health condition that occurs when the airways of the body become sensitive to allergies or is inflamed.
Blindness: Muscular deposits building up in areas produce it, and it can be caused by blood vessels that are normal developing under those areas.
What significant services/treatments will be offered based on your survey results at the GAH and the CC? continued
Nutrition and Physical Activity: The research staying active physically helps to delay or prevent certain diseases.
Arthritis: This is the breakdown of joints inside the tissues. Weakness in the joints is also experienced (McTaggart, 2016).
It is characterized by stiffness, tenderness, pain in the joints and restriction of movement in the joints.
Physician-Hospital integration
Provider’s organization's responses are likely reflected by the integration of hospital-physician to pressures that are competitive (Todd, 2012).
Some authors have the hypothesis that the combination of hospital-physician leads to gains that are efficiency.
Others say that integration should really and try to improve the power of bargaining.
Conclusion and recommendations
GAH must have the area for family waiting available, and a room for consultation. Orange County and its municipalities being considered, the population that is senior represent the population of 40%, thus making 40% of 122=48.8. The average of GAH shown by the data may operate on 50 beds and must increase the safety and its capability if needed. Services needed should be provided for the senior population; it is supposed to open the vital functions like geriatric centre, pulmonary lab, and other services with physicians that are licensed. Having all this in place, GAH is safe in the accomplishment of its goals (Malone, Capezuti & Palmer, 2015).
