Health Planning & Managment

Planning: Planning q To match the limited resources with many problems. q To eliminate wasteful expenditure or duplication of expenditure. q To develop the best course of action to accomplish a defined objective.

Planning includes three steps : q Plan formulation q Execution q Evaluation

Development Planning: Continuous , systematic, coordinated, planning for the investment of the resources of a country in programmes aimed at most rapid economic and social development possible.

Health Planning: The orderly process of defining community health problems , identifying unmet needs and surveying the resources to meet them, establishing priority goals that are realistic and feasible and projecting administrative action to accomplish the purpose of the proposed programme.

Resources: Implies the manpower , money , materials, skills knowledge , techniques and time needed or available for the performance or support of action directed towards specified objectives.

Objective : It is precise , concerned directly with the problem. Planned end point of all activities Target : It permits concept of degree of achievement ; concerned with factors involved in a problem. Goal : The ultimate desired state towards which objectives and resources are directed.

Plan : Ø Blue print for taking action Ø It has five major elements: § Objectives, policies, programmes, schedule & budget § Policies : Guiding principles stated as an expectation , not as a commandment. § Programmes : Sequence of activities designed to implement policies and accomplish objectives.

§ Schedule : Time sequence for the work to be done. § Procedures : Set of rules for carrying out work which , when observed by all help to ensure the maximum use of the resources and efforts.

Pre –planning: Ø Preparation for planning. Ø Important preconditions are: • Government interest • Legislation • Organization for planning – Planning commission of India • Administrative capacity – Central & State Ministries of Health

PLANNING CYCLE: v Defined as a process of analyzing a system or defining a problem, assessing the extent to which the problem exist as a need , formulating goals and objectives to alleviate or ameliorate those identified needs , examining and choosing from among alternative intervention strategies , initiating the necessary action for its implementation of the plan and evaluating the results of intervention in the light of stated objectives.

Steps: 1. Analysis of health situation: involves the collection , assessment and interpretation of information in such a way as to provide a clear picture of the health situation. 2. Establishment of objectives and goals 3. Assessment of resources 4. Fixing priorities

5. Write up of formulated plan 6. Programming and implementation 7. Monitoring 8. Evaluation

MANAGEMENT Ø purposeful and effective use of resources – manpower , materials and finances – for fulfilling a pre-determined objective. Ø Consists of four basic activities: q Planning q Organizing q Communicating q Monitoring

Management methods and techniques Based on behavioral sciences 1. Organizational design 2. Personnel management 3. Communication 4. Information Systems 5. Management by objectives Quantitative methods 1. Cost Benefit Analysis 2. Cost Effective Analysis 3. Cost Accounting 4. Input Output Analysis 5. Model 6. System Analysis 7. Network Analysis 8. PPBS 9. Work Sampling 10. Decision Making

1) Cost –Benefit Analysis: v Economic benefits of any programme are compared with cost of that programme. v Benefits are expressed in monetary terms to determine whether a given programme is economically sound and to select best out of several alternate programmes.

2) Cost –Effective Analysis: v Similar to cost benefit analysis except that benefit instead of being expressed in monetary terms is expressed in terms of results achieved. 3) Cost Accounting: v Provides basic data on cost structure of any programme. v Has 3 important purpose in health services: Cost control , planning and allocation of people & pricing of cost reimbursement.

4) Input –Output Analysis: v Input refers to all health service activities which consume resources. v Output refers to such useful outcomes as cases treated and lives saved. v An input –output table shows how much of each input is needed to produce a unit amount of each output. v Enables calculations to be made of the effects of changing the inputs.

5) Model: v An aid to understand how the factors in a situation affect one another. v Is an abstraction of the reality. 6) Systems Analysis: v To help the decision maker to choose an appropriate course of action by investigating his problem, searching out objectives, finding out alternative solutions, evaluation of alternatives in terms , re-examination of objectives if necessary & finding the most cost effective

7) Network Analysis: v Network is a graphic plan of all events and activities to be completed in order to reach an end objective. v Two common types of network technique: § PERT(Programme Evaluation and Review Technique) § CPM ( Critical Path Method)

PERT(Programme Evaluation and Review Technique): v. Technique which makes possible more detailed planning & more comprehensive supervision v. Essence of PERT is to construct an Arrow diagram, which represents the logical sequence in which events must take place v. Time taken to complete each activity can be calculated v. Can identify paths which are critical CPM ( Critical Path Method): v. It the longest path of the network v. If any activity along the critical path is delayed, the entire project will be delayed

8) Planning Programming Budgeting System(PPBS): v A system to help decision makers to allocate resources so that the available resources of an organization are used in the most effective way in achieving its objectives. v It calls for grouping of activities into programmes related to each objective. v Another approach is Zero Budget Approach i. e all budget starts at zero & no one gets any budget that he cannot specifically justify on a year to year basis

9)Work Sampling: v Is a systematic observation and recording of activities of one or more individuals, carried out at predetermined or random intervals v It provides quantitative measurement of the various activities. v It helps in standardizing the method of performing jobs and determining the manpower needs in any organization.

10) Decision Making: v It does not follow that the best decisions are always made at the top of an organization v. An adage that decisions should be made at the level where the best decisions can be made v. Decisions should not be made with incomplete data.

Health planning in India v. Integral part of national socio economic planning v.
