Week 6 discussion
DQ1 Your coworkers are upset that the current theme in the
organization is cost containment and they see that money is being spent on
remodeling the emergency department, which is unable to keep up with the demand
due to inadequate space. Describe how you would react to your coworkers. What
factors are possibly being taken into consideration by administration? Your
coworkers think that the money being spent to remodel the emergency department
should go to securing raises. How would you explain use of funds?
DQ2 How would you react to a physician who wants the
organization to purchase a new piece of technology that the competing hospital
already has so he can bring his patients to your hospital rather than to the
competition? What factors would you consider in evaluating the wisdom of
supporting his request?
