The objective of this study consists in finding out mooted points arising from the operation of hospitals, and then suggesting alternative plans to cope with them with adequate operational strategies.
For that purpose, a literature survey was conducted of public administration, personnel administration, business administration, theories of organization management, operation of hospital, etc. Furthermore, mooted points of Korea Health & Society Institute bulletin, the Health Administration Society bulletin, the Korea Hospital Association bulletin, the Ministry of Health and Welfare white papers, etc. were identified via statistic data. Moreover, positive strategies for hospital operation were groped for on the basis of practical experiences of those hospital directors who are serving their medical institutions and their staff members. A synthetic analysis of the resultant data led this study to suggest appropriate strategies for hospital operation.
The resultant findings were revealed, as follows: Chapter Ⅰ elucidated the purposes and methods of the study. Chapter Ⅱ discussed the concept of and the necessity for operational strategies. Chapter Ⅲ dealt with mooted points arising from changes in the operational environment of medical institutions. Chapter Ⅳ manifested in detail improvements in operational incomings and outgoings to cope with mooted points of operational environment, the central contents of the present study, on theoretical and positive bases. In particular, an attempt was made to suggest a recommendable plan that can fulfill two purposes ―the promotion of national health and improvement in operational incomings and outgoings ― by proposing operational strategies for a general health promotion center that can meet the needs of the flow of the changing medical world with preventive medicine. And finally, Chapter Ⅴ, the conclusion of the present study, suggested positive guidelines for an operation-strategic way of thinking and mode of behavior for hospital operators and those concerned by groping for strategies suitable for the operational environment of medical institutions.
