Hospital networks Sample Clauses

Hospital networks. When asked about the potential of collaborations between the hospitals of a network in terms of employees, most interviewees indicated that whenever there is a shortage of nurses due to an increase in demand, all the hospitals in the network are struggling with the same issues. No PD would be able to miss some of its employees. Moreover, the HNs argued that the procedures and processes are too dissimilar for the nurses to maintain qualitative care. If collaboration would be in place the trade unions would want to implement the best aspects of their hospital, which complicates cooperation even more. The interviewees indicate that the networks offer quite some potential, but it is still at an early stage. The HN of AZA states that the hospitals should first develop a robust system inside their own hospital, before attempting to exploit complex collaborations. The HR of AZN mentions that the administrative work required for the implementation of such a system would be immense. The first step would be to find people who are interested because the most important part is the mind-set and willingness of the employees. The CM of AZSTV sees the potential of collaboration on network-level because then they would benefit from having a bigger pool of nurses. “In theory this would be feasible, given that certain conditions are fulfilled. Because then you again have the advantage that a bigger hospital has, that you dispose of a bigger pool of nurses so that you have more flexibility to make the puzzle.” (AZSTV – CM) The CM of AZN also states that the evolution of the networks will depend on the care program. Previously there were considerations regarding the development of a care program for the paediatrics department in terms of a network, according to the CM. There would be a more diversified system of university centres, tertiary centres, highly specialized centres, specialized centres and base level centres. This would make collaboration and nurse mobility impossible. One type of collaboration that has taken place when demand was too high is enabling the mobility of patients. The HN of AZSTV shared that they sometimes get calls from other hospitals in their network that ask if there are still beds available. So, patients can be transferred more easily than nurses.
