Chapter I - Planning

OVERVIEW

In the summer of 1975, Doctors’ Caesar and Anita Somoso rented a 2-

storey, 2 door apartments and set up a 10 bed medical clinic. At the time the

facility can offer basic laboratory services (X-ray, blood examination, urinalysis,

fecalysis) and primary health care. It was named Clinica Somoso. Six months

after the inception, Social Security System has recognized and accredited this

clinic with Medicare privileges. This made our clinic the first lying-in hospital in

this community. After one year of operation, we increased the bed capacity to 25

because people now recognized that they need not to go to Davao City or

Tagum, Davao del Norte for their health needs and or confinements knowing

they can be diagnosed and treated well here. It is a fact that convenience is also

a factor considered by most patients.

Two years after the 25 bed capacity was approved, we applied for a

secondary level licensure which was again approved by Department of

Health/Medicare so again, and we became the first secondary hospital in

Panabo, Davao del Norte. The name was changed to Somoso General Hospital.

Gradually, but not progressively we continued to improve our hospital and

decided to build our own facility. From across-were the old clinic was established,

a 3 storey building was built. By now we have increased to a 50-bed capacity

hospital. Today the hospital enjoys the expertise of specialist in all departments,

a well equipped laboratory (including X-Ray, ECG, Ultrasonography) and

managed people who are not only competent but compassionate as well. With

the growing population (mostly due to migration, better job opportunities) and

expanding agribusiness (mainly bananas and other tropical fruits), again the

need to increase our bed capacity comes to mind.

We, competent doctors, committed, dedicated to serve our constituents

not only in Panabo City but the neighboring towns/cities as well, grouped

ourselves into a corporation. Today, we are only a step away to realize our long-

time dream and that is to build a state-of-the-art facility.

Patients care Classification System

The patient care classification system is a method of grouping patients

according to the amount and complexity of their nursing care requirements and

the nursing time and skill they require. This assessment can serve in determining

the amount of nursing care required, generally within 24 hours, as well as the

category of nursing personnel who should provide that care.

Classification Categories

Level I- Self Care or Minimal Care – patient can take a bath on his own,

feed himself, feed and perform his activities of daily living.

Level II- Moderate or Intermediate Care – patients under this level need

some assistance in bathing, feeding or ambulating for short periods of time.

Level III- Total or Intensive Care – patients under this category are

completely dependent upon the nursing personnel. They provided complete bath,

are fed, may or may not be unconscious, with marked emotional needs, with vital

signs more than three times per shift, may be on continuous oxygen therapy and

with chest or abdominal tubes.

Level IV- Highly Specialized or Critical Care – patients under this level

need maximum nursing care. Patients need continuous treatment and

minutes; hourly output.

The Somoso Hospital is secondary Hospital with 50 bed capacity.

1. Categorize the patients according to levels of care needed.

50 (patients) x .65 = 32.5 patients needing minimal care

50 (patients) x .30 = 15 patients needing moderate care

50 (patients) x .5 = 25 patients needing intensive care

72.5

2. Find the number of nursing care hours (NCH) needed by patients at each

level of care per day.

32.5 patients x 1.5 (NCH needed at level I) = 48.75 NCH/day

15 patients x 3 (NCH needed at level II) = 45 NCH/day

25 patients x 4.5 (NCH needed at level III) = 112.5 NCH/day

Page | 31

Page 32: Organizational Analysis of Hospital

206.25 NCH/day

3. Find the total NCH needed by 50 bed capacity per year.

206.25 x 365 (days / year) = 75,281.25 NCH/year

4. Find the actual working hours rendered by each nursing personnel per

year.

8 (hrs/day) x 213 (working days /year) = 1,704 (working hours/day)

5. Find the total number of nursing personnel needed.

a. Total NCH per year = 75,281.25 = 44

Working hours/year 1,704

b. Relief x Total Nsg. Personnel = 44 x .15 = 7

c. Total Nursing Personnel needed = 44 + 7 = 51

6. Categorize to professional and non-professional personnel. Ratio of

professionals to non-professionals in a secondary hospital is 60:40.

51 x .60 = 31 Professional nurse

51 x .40 = 20 nursing attendants

7. Distribute by shifts.

31 nurses x .45 = 14 nurses on AM shift

31 nurses x.37 = 11 nurses on PM shift

31 nurses x .18 = 6 nurse on night shift

Page | 32

Page 33: Organizational Analysis of Hospital

Total 31 nurses

20 nursing attendants x .45 = 9 nursing attendants on AM shift

20 nursing attendants x .37 = 7 nursing attendants on PM shift

20 nursing attendants x .18 = 4 nursing attendants on night shift

10 GOLDEN RULES OF GOOD BUSINESS

1. A customer is the most important person in any business.

A SGHI man must, at all the times, be conscious of how he can satisfy his

customer. The customer is important because all hospital efforts are directed to

his ultimate satisfaction. The customer is king. Therefore, his expectations must

be met.

2. A customer is not dependent to us; we are dependent on him.

A SGHI man owes his customer his income and he is dependent on him

whether directly or indirectly. The hospital’s survival is dependent on his

customer. Therefore, a SGHI may exist for his customer.

3. A customer is not an interruption of our work: he is the purpose of it.

A SGHI man works for his customer. The end result of his work is always

to provide satisfaction to his customer. Furthermore, SGHI man’s reason for

working is not solely hoe himself but more importantly, for his customer.

Therefore, the purpose of his work is his customer.

Page | 42

Page 43: Organizational Analysis of Hospital

4. A customer does us a favor when he calls; we are not doing him a favor

by serving him.

A SGHI man’s opportunity to provide quality products and services to his

customer is a sign of customer approval. When there is opportunity to provide

product and services, the customer is providing business to the hospital.

Therefore, the customer does a favor for a hospital through business

opportunities.

5. A customer is a part our business-not an outsider.

A SGHI man’s real partner in business is his customer. The customer is

the moving force that propels the Hospital business. As a partner, a SGHI man

must see to it that the customer is also benefiting from the Hospital’s business.

Therefore, a SGHI man must protect the mutual interest of thr hospital and the

customer.

6. A customer is not cold statistic; he is a flesh-and-blood and blood human

being feelings and emotions.

A SGHI man must be sensitive the concern of his customer. The customer

expects that he be treated with care and that his dignity be respected. Therefore,

a SGHI man has to treat his customer the way he would like others to treat him .

7. A customer is not someone to argue or match wits with.

A SGHI man must never consider his customer as adversary. In fact, the

customer has the right to complain with his expectation of the Hospital’s products

and services are not met. Complaints, in reality are feedback for the SGHI man

to improve his products and services to the customer. When there is feedback, it

is an opportunity for the SGHI man to provide value-added service to satisfy his

customer.

8. A customer is a person who brings us his wants; it is our job to fill those

wants

Page | 43

Page 44: Organizational Analysis of Hospital

A SGHI man should respond his customer’s needs and wants. The

customers’ needs and wants provide business opportunities to the Hospital.

Without them, there is no reason for the Hospital to exist. The job of every SGHI

man must, therefore, be towards the fulfillment his customer’s needs and wants.

9. A customer is deserving of the most courteous and attentive treatment we

can give him.

A SGHI man is expected to provide courteous service his customer at all

the times and under all condition because next of the quality of the products is

the quality of service that the Hospital provides. It is the quality of service that

separates the Hospital’s products from its competitors. Therefore, a SGHI man’s

relationship and service to his customer must be properly managed.

10.A customer is the life blood of this and every business.

A SGHI man must always be aware that the life if his Hospital’s business

is his customer. Taking care of his customer is tantamount to taking care of

himself and the Hospital. Therefore, customer satisfaction is the only assurance

of the SGHI man and his Hospital to exist.

and observation during which both the employee and the Institution

determine whether or not a permanent appointment will be issued. During

the employee’s probationary period, the employment relationship maybe

terminated at any time by either the company or the employee.

You can be sure that whatever position you are occupying as an

employee of the institution is an important one. Otherwise, we should not hire

and responsibilities well for in doing so, you affect the manner in which your

fellow employees carry out theirs. If you remember this always, you will find it

CONCLUSION

Somoso General Hospital Inc. in general has fair and reasonable system

of organization and standards of giving patient care. Although there are some

lapses and discrepancies that needs attention base on our observations and

recommendations, the hospital and the medical team that works hand in hand to

promote the quality of care still have done their part to uplift the quality and

precision of providing care to their patients.

The building on which the Somoso General Hospital Inc. has been

operating is quite dilapidated and is almost fire hazard because of its structure

and the materials its made of. On these regard, the management is now building

a new building in which a state-of-the-art facilities and systematized organization

of departments will be present, leading us to speculate that the lapses,

discrepancies and our recommendations will be answered fortunately with

positive response.

Employees in the hospitals were kind and generous enough to cater

guest/visitors courteously as per observation during our hospital visit. As of the

moment, the hospital has 17 Registered Nurses and 8 Nursing Attendants

according to the inputs and information we had gathered. This brought us into

conclusion that the hospital was understaffed and undermanned.

Lastly, the Somoso General Hospital Inc. is determined to endow quality

care and service to the community as well as the nearby municipalities and

barangays surrounding Panabo City. The hospital is proud to say that they are

the only one in Panabo City that entertains patients who doesn’t have enough

money to pay for their down payment in cases of emergencies. In lieu of this,

other hospitals should imitate this kind of system because this brings out the

policy of our government to provide quality and affordable health care.

workers, to promote quality health care services, but the organizations

proper ventilation in each ward to provide comfort and accessible to all
