Organizational change has always been a challenge for all medical establishments. However, readiness to introduce shifts to the management process is imperative for an organization to sustain a competitive advantage over other centers (Kovner, R, 2009).
While restructuring Wise Medical center it is obligatory to think over effective strategies of resources allocation and finances because expenditures is an important conditions of reorganization. Paul Bones’ arguments against changes are logical, despite all the benefits of the identified strategic plan.
Identify the Individual and His or Her Management Position in the Organization
Paul Bones is a chief of medicine at the center who takes care of research and teaching programs that should also be financed in case of new changes to be introduced.
The problem of reorganizing touch upon many unsolved problems, particularly on the concept of patient care, as well as the training programs and education (Kovner, McAlearney, & Neuhausaer, 2009). His primary concern is to learn more about these strategies because, according to his opinion, they are the key ones in transferring from one quality level to another.
The Role of the Individual and Defend His or Her Argument Whether Or Not You Agree With the Concerns Expressed
Patient care is largely premised on the roles and responsibilities imposed on nurses and physicians. Their interaction, as well as information exchange is indispensible to ensuring safety and quality of patient treatment. Moreover, introducing modern methods of research and evidence-based practice is also significant for advancing the center’s potential. Therefore, Bones’ concerns are fully justified.
Literature and Field Experience Observations to Support the Individual’s Argument
In order to ensure consistent and successful management of the hospital, four factors should be considered, including community, control, cure, and care (Glouberman & Mintzberg, 2001a). The last two aspects are assigned to doctors and nurses respectively who should fulfill their obligations in order to meet the requirements and standards of high quality treatment.
Regarding the care of patients, it should be premised on the information received from researches, but lack of sufficient funding can lead to disinformation and shortage of resources to introduce high quality medical intervention (Glouberman & Mintzberg, 2001b).
Mr. Spellman’s Perspective in terms of the Concerns That Might Be Addressed in the Restructuring
The problem of research and practice can be effectively met with regard to the existing technological introductions. In case four factors of effective management are considered, the idea of restructure will not be a problem from the center. Spellman’s ideas, therefore, are quite consistent and logical, but too radical and the first step here will be oriented on educating the staff and making them sure of the necessity of introducing changes.
Considering external factors is also indispensible to advancing the quality of care. Social, economic and political perspectives should be regards in a wider context, but not based on individuals concerns of the members of the center (Glouberman & Mintzberg, 2001a). Moreover, introducing significant shift to the organization of the center will provide a fresh insight into change management, as well as enrich the strategies aimed at improving the overall organization and staff development.
Moving forward to restructure and new organization should also increase the nurse turnover and provides a new outlook on the culture of retention within a hospital. In addition, looking at the changes occurred to hospital, one should also consider the issue of cultural diversity, which is also at the core of successful management.
