PROGRAM  MBA
SUBJECT CODE & NAME MH0051 – Health Administration

1.  Explain the management methods and techniques of health planning.

Ans- Management Methods and Techniques

Health planners are intent upon devising means to improve service coverage in more efficient and effective ways. In past few years the notion of coverage has taken on added importance as issues of equity have been highlighted through such slogans as “health for all.” Concern of efficiency has directed attention to competency based training of peripheral workers, including community members, employing appropriate technology. Finally, considerations of effectiveness have led to the search for improved
measures of program impact that encompass community desires and satisfaction.

2.  Explain the types of epidemiological studies. Add a note on mortality profile of India.

Ans- Types of Epidemiological Studies (Observational and

Experimental)

Epidemiological studies can be divided into two basic types depending on

(a)  whether  the  events  have  already  happened  (retrospective)  or
(b)  whether  the  events  may  happen  in  the  future  (prospective).  The  most

common studies are the retrospective studies  which are also called casecontrol  studies.  A  case-control  study  may  begin  when  an  outbreak  of  disease  is  noted  and  the  causes  of  the  disease  are  not  known,  or  the  disease is unusual within the population studied.

3.  Discuss the steps in disaster management. A  Mentioning the steps

Definition of disaster management

Disaster management is the discipline of dealing with and avoiding risks. It is a discipline that involves preparing for disaster before it occurs, disaster response (e.g., emergency evacuation,  quarantine, mass decontamination, etc.),  and  supporting,  and  rebuilding  society  after  natural  or  human-made disasters have occurred.


Steps in disaster management

Mainly  there  are  four  steps  in  disaster  management:  mitigation, preparedness,  response  and  recovery.  Every  disaster  is  different  and response  is  decided  by the  events  at  hand.  Disasters  might  be  natural or unnatural in origin. The type of emergency determines the response. Some disasters  might  require  evacuation  or  relocation.  Others  might  demand quarantine  or  decontamination.  The  meanings  of  the  terms  used  in  the disaster management are as follows:

6.  Enumerate the determinants of health.

Ans- Spectrum and Determinants of Health

It is not difficult to understand how poverty in the form of material deprivation
–  dirty  water,  poor  nutrition  –  allied  to  lack  of  quality  medical  care  can account  for  the  tragically  foreshortened  lives  of  people  in  India.  Such  understanding is insufficient in two important ways. First, it fails properly to  take  into  account  that  relief  of  such  material  deprivation  is  not  simply  a
technical matter of providing clean water of better medical care. Who gets  these  resources  is  socially

These  factors  contribute  to  the  reduction  in  the  incidence  of  hospital  infection.

4  Explain in brief the planning, design and staffing of a billing department in a  hospital.

The  Central  billing  department  plays  an  important  role,  as  liaison  office between the management and the patients, in addition to its prime duty of billing. The immense patience, human relations and hospitality is the need of the hour to alleviate the problems of patients who are in distress, as the words spoken and deeds undertaken by the staff working at this department project the theme of humanity. One of the commonest problems faced by the discharged patients at all hospitals is the delay in discharge due to slow bill generation. The same can be overcome or reduced to a great extent by computerization  of  billing  system  and  having  a  user  friendly  hospital information system (HIS) in place.

5.  Discuss the essential principles for managing hospital materials. Add a note on  process of material management.

Ans- Essential Principles for Managing Hospital Materials

The  management  of  materials  is  one  of  the  key  factors  for  improving  the  performance  of  any  unit.  Higher  inventories  saddle  an  organization  with  avoidable costs besides blocking the scarce funds which might be required  by  the  enterprise  for  its  own  operations  for  some  other  essential
development  programs.  Proper  management  of  materials,  therefore, assumes considerable importance in corporate functioning as well as in the  national economy. We are aware of the fact that

With  advancement  in  science  and  technology,  newer  drug  preparations have  come  into  the  markets  in  a  highly  competitive  scenario.  Most  drug formulations  have  been  shown  to  be  ineffective  and  few  of  them  even dangerous. It is necessary to identify the harmful drugs and eliminate them in  the  market.  Only  those  preparations  which  meet  the  criteria

mentioned appropriately.

A. Structural Issues:
Besides the excessive concentration of administrative powers at the state and central levels, there is a multiplicity of institutions/departments, which work in their own hierarchies posing series problems for

Quality assurance is a process through which the level of desired quality is defined, pursued, achieved, and maintained through the institution of formal mechanisms  for  detecting  and  correcting  factors  which  prevent  the achievement  of  the  desired  quality.  Terms  such  as  „peer  review‟,  „quality
assurance‟,  „quality  improvement‟,  „quality  activities‟,  „quality  studies‟  and „audit‟  (including  all  types  of  audit  such  as  medical,  clinical,  surgical  an d record audit) are often used interchangeably. Quality assurance is a broad term that describes the overall efforts of the facility to achieve effective care without  compromising  on  quality.   Before  going  into  detail  let  us  analyze what Quality

6. Explain Telemedicine in detail.
Ans- Telemedicine
Telemedicine is a part of E-health. Telemedicine is the exchange of medical information  through  an  audiovisual  medium.  It  is  usually  done  when  the distance becomes a crucial factor for medical consultations. Telemedicine is making rapid progress in the field of medicine. For example, Two medical
professionals discussing a case over a phone or videoconference about a real-time consultation across two different countries.

Telemedicine offers services such as remote monitoring of a patient, quick access to health information, and accurate treatment. The terms telehealth and telemedicine are often misused. Telehealth  refers

This  is  the  one  of  simplest  method  of  micro-economic  evaluation.  In  this method,  there  is  no  need  to  know  the  total  exact  costs  or  benefits  of  the various  services  or  treatments.  It  involves  a  comparison  of  the  marginal costs  and  benefits  of  the  alternative  services,  and  it  leaves  much  to  the judgements of the decision-maker. It provides estimates of the implications of redeploying
