| contract management for hospitals: Are Contract-managed Hospitals More Efficient? Avi Dor, 1994 Contract management is an arrangement in which the board of trustees of a hospital retains an outside organization to manage the facility. This report examines differences between contract-managed hospitals and hospitals managed by salaried administrators.The report uses data from the Hospital Cost and Utilization Project, 1980-87 (HCUP-2) database and the American Hospital Association Annual Survey of Hospitals for 1987 to compare contract-managed hospitals with noncontract hospitals. Contract-managed hospitals generally are smaller facilities, often located in rural areas. Adjusted for size and location, contract-managed hospitals resemble noncontract in casemix and physician speciality attributes, although they appear to provide fewer technology-intensive services. Data from HCUP-2 were used to determine the relationship between financial performance and duration of contract management. Financial ratio analysis suggests that boards of trustees of hospitals opt for services of contract-management firms when the hospitals face financial difficulties. Financially stable hospitals are less likely to do so. Given enough time, contract managers appear to be able to improve the financial condition of the hospital they manage |

| contract management for hospitals: Contractual Management Ralph Schuhmann, Bert Eichhorn, 2019-10-24 The Concept Contractual Management offers a holistic approach to managerial decision-making based on contracts or business processes that are related to contracts. It explains management from the point of view of the contract, just as it interprets the contract from the point of view of management. Thus, the approach highlights the great inherent potential of contracts for managing companies, transactions and business relationships. The book addresses students as well as practitioners and gives insights into the usage of contracts to manage companies or relationships. It covers contract handling from preliminary deliberations to negotiations, implementation, and all the way to the evaluation of the contract within the company. Furthermore, it provides competencies to design and implement a contract and to organize the relevant processes. The Content In Part 1, the book explains the theoretical foundations of Contractual Management; in Part 2, the application of the approach is illustrated through case studies which cover various sectors, industries, company sizes, contract types, and management situations. Theory part: Contractual Management – A Holistic Approach to a Diverse Issue. Case study part: 11 case studies arranged according to specific contract-related topics: Information and Communication – Change – Enterprise Networks – Conflict – Accounting and Financing – Legal Compliance – Societal Steering.

| contract management for hospitals: Health Care Supply Chain Management: Elements, Operations, and Strategies () (Jerry) R. R. R. Ledlow, Karl Manrodt, David Schott, 2016-06-09 Ledlow BCC Supplies currently account for up to 45% of a healthcare organization’s annual operating expense. The supply chain ensures that the technology of care is available to the health care professional at the right time, at the right place and in sufficient quantity and quality for superior health outcomes for patients within the health system. As such, a clear understanding of the workings of the healthcare supply chain is vital to successful healthcare management today. Health Care Supply Chain Management examines supply chain management within the unique context of healthcare services delivery. The authors, with over 60 years combined experience in healthcare administration, supply chain, and academia, examine the critical topics of sourcing, logistics, security and compliance, purchasing, storage and inventory management, distribution, vendor management, as well as future challenges in health care. Students of health administration, public administration, public health, nursing and other allied health professions will learn the most current and effective methods for the management of the supply chain that will contribute to success in the delivery and financing of healthcare services. Key Features: • Offers an overview of the elements of the healthcare supply chain • Examines both the operational and the strategic aspects of supply chain management • Includes a discussion of the integration of the supply chain with the clinical delivery of care • Provides a sound basis of knowledge for students so that healthcare supply chain improvements can be achieved for the mutual benefit of the healthcare industry |

| contract management for hospitals: Making changes in operational PFI projects Great Britain: National Audit Office, 2008-01-17 This NAO report forms part of a number of NAO reports looking at PFI (Private Finance Initiative) projects undertaken across the public sector. PFIs are contractual arrangements with private sector companies to design, build, finance and operate institutions such as schools and hospitals. At present there are over 500 operational projects throughout the UK, with a combined capital of £44 billion. It is also estimated that including future payments, with many projects running up until 2031-32, capital will rise to £91 billion. Given the length of many of the contracts, it is inevitable that operational changes to services will be required, so it is important that PFI contracts have flexibility, with built in value for money. The report is divided into three parts, with appendices. The NAO has set out a number of finding including: that PFI deals are offering sufficient flexibility to the public sector; that some projects achieve better value than others, but that (i) higher value changes were not always competitively tendered; (ii) for minor works, there was little consistency in the methods used by the public sector; (iii) that the cost of replacing items throughout the life of the contract was also inconsistently applied; (iv) that contractors had often charged additional fees, which were not specified in the original contract. The NAO recommendations, include: where there is a relevant contract clause, competitive tendering should be undertaken; for existing contract deals, authorities employing contractors need to put in place consistent and robust means to validate the costs of small changes; public authorities should explore with their private sector partners the feasibility of clarifying current contracts, so they follow current best practice; contract management should be properly resourced in order to manage the change process. Public sector authorities could improve value for money of operational changes by: adopting a strategic approach to changes; keeping a good permanent record of changes and payments made; fostering open lines of communication with front-line users and other stakeholders as well as the PFI contractor. |

| contract management for hospitals: Managing Technology in Healthcare Eliezer Geisler, Ori Heller, 2012-12-06 Technology plays a critical role in the management of health care, the system, its delivery and its organizations. This book examines the role of technology in the delivery of health care by physicians and other health care workers, and their respective roles in the management of health care technology. The complexity of the health care environment and the difficulties in managing technology in general (and in health care in particular) makes this book a landmark exploration for the purpose of creating in-roads into the largely uncharted territory of health care technology. The chapters in this book will introduce the horizons that are open for scholarly pursuit in this area. Managing Technology in Healthcare has two main objectives. First, to provide the reader with an overview of the main issues of concern and the topics of study in managing technology in health care. Second, to offer the reader specific knowledge embedded in the eleven chapters of the book, covering a broad range of topics of interest to health care and to R&D/technology scholars and practitioners. |
| contract management for hospitals: The Healthcare Value Chain Lawton Robert Burns, 2022-10-19 This volume analyzes group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in order to better understand the significant roles that these entities play in the healthcare supply chain. It examines who they contract with, on what terms, and who they represent and answer to while charting their historical development. The analysis reveals that the current roles of both players have historical roots that explain why they behave the way they do. Finally, the book reviews the evidence base on the performance results of these two players. This work fills a void in our understanding about two important and controversial players in the healthcare value chain. Both organizations are cloaked in secrecy — partly by virtue of the private sector contracts they negotiate, partly by virtue of the lack of academic attention. Both play potentially important roles in controlling healthcare costs, albeit using contracting strategies and reimbursement mechanisms that arouse suspicion among stakeholders. This timely text explicates how these organizations arose and evolved to shed more light on how they really operate. |
