Also no information is forthcoming about the market status of other hospitals Also this solution would take some time to implement American patients of the Shouldice Hospital
At the same time a successor to Dr At the same time a successor to Dr Average Cost borne by patient Charges for 4 day hospital stay Average Cost per patient borne by the Shouldice Hospital Budget for operating costs For hospital Because of an increasing backlog By diversifying into other medical fields of surgery Canada is a pioneer in the field of treating patients suffering from external abdominal hernia
Currently the patients are made to become self sufficient soon after the operation For having a quality level in the new facility equivalent to that as in the current Hospital facility at Canada Hence any step taken must be cost effective
However In case a specialized doctor from outside is appointed In spite of this It does not violate any government regulations and at the same time also leverages the existing strength of the hospital in rendering high quality services to the patients Many clinics or doctors claim to use the Shouldice technique or the Canadian method and in the eventuality of the operation performed by them being unsuccessful it brings a bad name to the Shouldice Hospital Net profit increase using proposed solution Net profit per patient
No additional capital expenditures need to be incurred to carry out this plan Obney as Chief Surgeon has to be selected Obney is a step that must be taken soon Obney must also be selected must also be selected Ontario Plans to adequately market them in order to create awareness of the genuine Shouldice method of surgery should be undertaken Proper training for using them must also be imparted to the employees Proper training for using them must also be imparted to the employees
SHOULDICE HOSPITAL LIMITED
Executive Summary Since we are looking at the United States as an alternate the government regulations of Canada would not be applicable The USP of the Shouldice Hospital is its distinct surgical procedure The administrative processes in the hospital must be made computerized to improve their efficiency The administrative processes in the hospital must be made computerized to improve their efficiency The backlog list would continue to increase The decision with regard to the issues at hand must ensure that the employees are receptive in accepting that decision The operations should be scheduled on Saturdays also
The primary issue here is deciding on the manner in which the capacity should be increased without diluting the quality of service rendered The selection of such a candidate should preferably be done among the existing doctors in the hospital The selection of the new chief surgeon must be done by carefully scrutinizing all the surgeons in the hospital as well as interviewing new candidates for the same The selection of the new chief surgeon must be done by carefully scrutinizing all the surgeons in the hospital as well as interviewing new candidates for the same The speedy ambulation coupled with its reasonable price rates leads to satisfied patients publicizing the hospital by word of mouth This bit of information is likely to hasten our decision making process
This can be implemented by having doctors and other medical staff to work in shifts This is similar to the plan 1 in terms of the expenditure involved and the time frame being talked of This plan would be beneficial in meeting the demand in the US of A of the 42 This solution seems like the most feasible in terms of cost This solution seems like the most feasible in terms of cost and time and also leverages the existing strength of the hospital in providing quality services to the patients This would also aid in protecting against privacy to an extent This would expand the number of beds by 50 This would need some capital expenditure but at the same time will help us expand our capacity into another geographical location While this would lead to an increase in capacity of the number of beds by 50 With its current capacity Workshops for the same will help dispel any fears in the minds of the existing staff about the urgent need for such a step to expand capacity and hemorrhoids is possible and on an average each patient has to spend four days in the hospital recuperating and result in scheduling the operation rooms more heavily and time and also leverages the existing strength of the hospital in providing quality services to the patients awareness must be created among all the employees about the urgent need for such a step to expand capacity awareness must be created among all the employees by means of workshops etc but at the same time it will also lead to an increased number of patients wanting to come to the hospital but it would also require additional well qualified surgeons who will be able to carry on the quality tradition at the Shouldice Hospital by expanding the hospital by expanding the hospital by utilizing the capacity of the operation theatres to the optimum level ensuring good patient experience first of all first of all has to be selected i in conjunction with any of the above plans chosen increase in existing capacity involves extensive capital expenditure in setting up a new facility it can treat 6850 patients annually it is proposed that the capacity of the hospital be increased by scheduling the operations on Saturdays also it must be ensured that the plans be implemented as swiftly as possible it must ensure that there is no dilution in the quality of the services rendered by the hospital leading to a 20 number of operations per day one option maybe to transfer 6 of the 12 specialized surgeons to the new facility patients tend to go to other doctors for operations proper induction to acquaint the existing surgeons must be carried out retaining the existing talent pool of doctors and attracting newer doctors willing to learn the specialized hernia operations skill is also a primary issue some employees seem to have some reservations about operations on Saturday such as the US of A may be considered that is whether they are open on Saturdays or not the USA the chief surgeon who is to retire soon the employees might resent this move of working in extra shifts during the day the existing strengths of the hospital will be leveraged the low cost and high quality advantage the quality levels may not remain same for the initial span of time then opening an additional facility in some other geographical location then plan 3 may be considered there is a huge backlog that the hospital needs to meet though would lead to an increased awareness of the authenticity of the Shouldice method under the given case facts varicose veins which the Shouldice Hospital currently enjoys while exposing the piracy in the method while still maintaining control over the overall quality of service delivered while still maintaining control over the overall quality of service delivered who is due to retire soon will be diluted with an investment of 1029 111 per day Surgical fee 2 million and permission from the provincial government 25 Total Cost borne by patient over four days 257 261 328 By working on Saturdays we are increasing the working days by 52 4 450 Fees for Assistant Surgeon 46 million 585 Total Cost borne by patient per day 60 60 Fees for Anesthetic 75 75 8 million For clinic 8 million Total number of operations performed in 1982 8 million Also because of the increasing wait lists of patients to be attended to An additional floor of rooms could be added to the hospital Another alternative could be scheduling operations at other times during the day too By implementing the shift system CASE ANALYSIS Capacity of the hospital could be expanded by scheduling operations on Saturdays also Currently the hospital Deciding on ways to meet the backlog of operations Deciding on ways to meet the backlog of operations Expansion into other geographical locations such as the United States could be undertaken Handling piracy and bad mouthing due to piracy Increasing the capacity by scheduling Saturday operations is a swift and cost effective solution Marketing the services of the hospital Obney Obney See exhibit 2 and 3 Selection of the next chief surgeon after Dr The action plan implemented must adhere to the government regulations regarding the profitability of hospitals The existing strengths of the hospital setup must be leveraged in any decision taken The issue of piracy and bad mouthing due to piracy are also important concerns for the hospital The next chief surgeon after Dr The plan of expanding the capacity by moving into another geographical segment such as the United States The selection of a successor to Dr The solution implemented must be economically viable The successor to Dr There is an atmosphere of concern for the employees in the hospital This plan involves an additional capital expenditure of To clear the backlog by increasing capacity of the hospital services To ensure working towards goal of profitability while at the same time serving the society by passing on the proper knowledge of the Shouldice technique to other surgeons To maintain the brand equity associated with the specialized technique of Shouldice Method for performing hernia operations To remain the leader in the medical field of hernia operations To select a successor for Dr To sustain quality in their services Whatever step is taken assuming all patients use anesthetic assuming patient takes our days for recovery e middot middot middot middot
