Planning and Strategy Management

Description:

Introduction

Planning and strategy management play a very important role in the smooth working and long-term success of a hospital. In a 100-bedded multi-specialty hospital, proper planning helps the management organize staff, infrastructure, finances, and medical equipment to provide quality healthcare services. Planning and strategy management also help hospital leaders set clear goals and achieve them through well-planned actions and teamwork across all departments.

Today, hospitals face higher patient expectations, fast technological changes, rising costs, and strict healthcare rules. Therefore, a multi-specialty hospital must coordinate medical, nursing, diagnostic, pharmacy, and administrative departments effectively. Strong planning and strategy management improve patient care, increase efficiency, control costs, and support overall hospital performance.

Objectives of the Study

• To study the existing planning and strategy management practices in a 100-bedded multi-specialty hospital.

• To find the main challenges and opportunities that affect hospital planning and strategic decisions.

• To suggest useful strategies to improve the overall effectiveness of hospital management.

Research Methodology

Research methodology explains how the researcher carries out the study in a systematic way to solve the research problem. It describes the steps the researcher follows to collect, analyze, and interpret data. This chapter explains why the researcher chooses specific methods and does not use others. It helps readers clearly understand the research process and approach.

This chapter is divided into the following sections:

• Research Design

• Sample Design

• Data Collection

• Research Instrument

Methods of Data Collection

The researcher collects data for the study from two main sources: primary data and secondary data.

1. Primary Data: Primary data means original information collected directly from respondents for the first time. The researcher gathers this data specially for the study through:

• Structured questionnaires

• Personal interaction and direct communication

2. Secondary Data: Secondary data means information that others have already collected and recorded. The researcher uses this data to support and strengthen the primary findings. The researcher collects secondary data from:

• Hospital records and documents
• Books, journals, and articles
• Internet sources
