As a manager, I ensure that well-trained personnel is hired in the hospital so that they can easily understand these protocols and provide high quality care with desirable outcome to patients. There also should be enough personnel so that they are not overworked.
The manager should ensure that equipments used in treatment procedure are in the right place and are well maintained; this improves the performance in treating the patient. Using newer technologies makes it possible to implement new emerging protocols.
Furthermore, encouraging the hospital staffs to have proper communication with the patient will make it easier to understand them and ensure that right medication is provided. Patient can also be availed with the information and instructions on all the procedures and how they are to be treated. This link between the patient and the hospital staff makes the patient’s experience better; thus physicians’ task becomes easier.
Medical protocols are dynamic, and all medical personnel should ensure that they adapt to changes that come with them.
