Hospital healthcare unit management: monitoring some critical points.
Hospital healthcare unit strategic piloting is often cost-based. But this piloting appears to be of real relevance. It is perhaps better to seek answers to some basic questions, such as: The reason hospitalization is preferred in the majority of cases; How are health services viewed by the population at large and external stakeholders? Why do patients and their families opt for a particular service in favour of another? What is the level of acceptance in the demand for hospitalization in relation to bed capacity? How to evaluate health status development? What are the consequences on such developments on staff workload, particularly their effects on a daily level? There is need to develop a measurement tool in response to each of these questions.
